What are Dofollow Links?
Dofollow links are SEO juice-passing links that pass points and boost the page rank of the linked to sites. It is the link that Google’s algorithm follows and crawls. Ultimately it also brings a lot of traffic to your website.
Example of Dofollow Link
<a href=”https://codevibrant.com/”>Codevibrant</a>
What are Nofollow Links?
Nofollow links are links with a rel=”nofollow” HTML attribute value that instructs the search engines bots to ignore that specific link. In simple word, nofollow links don’t impact search engine rankings because they do not pass link juice.
Example of Nofollow Link
<a href=”https://www.codevibrant.com/” rel=”nofollow”>Codevibrant</a>
Why should you add Dofollow links and Nofollow links?
Dofollow links and nofollow links both are essential for Google ranking. They can bring a lot of organic traffic on your site. Dofollow link tells Google to follow and crawl the linked site and boost the rank of the linked site. You can add Nofollow to paid links from stopping them to negatively influence your search results.
Although nofollow links don’t pass link juice, it is also equally important for SEO. If you only use the dofollow link then search engine tags your links on a post as spam. Thus you should add both dofollow and nofollow link in a balanced ratio.
