What is dofollow and nofollow?

[acams]

SE bots / crawlers / spiders crawls the web page, they come accross the links and crawl them. But when the link ‘Nofollow’ link characterstic is used the crawlers or spider not able to follow the link.

[Dani]

The 'nofollow' attribute is an HTML attribute that is added to individual links on a webpage to inform Google and other bots that the owner of the webpage holds no responsibility as to the contents of the page being linked to, does not endorse the page, and to not pass PageRank to the page. The 'dofollow' attribute doesn't really exist. It's just the nickname given to links that don't contain the 'nofollow' attribute.

Dofollow are those links which pass value to the search engines and it make its search engine ranking improve.
Nofollow" provides a way for webmasters to tell search engines "Don't follow links on this page" or "Don't follow this specific link."

Dofollow link is crawled by the search engine spider and count as a high quality backlink rather than nofollow link is not counted as a back link because is not indexed by search engine spider.

[joomlaoscommerc]

you may get the answer from your sentence if you divide the

sentence in 2 part

one is dofollow do mean positive

and no mean negative

so, do foloow link will be count as a backlink

and no follow will not be counted as a backlink
thanks

While it's true that nofollow links don't carry as much weight as dofollow, so to speak, Google doesn't actually discount them altogether, especially if they're from a high PR site.

[JasonBrown]

Dofollow means the links, those are followed by the search engines. Search engines give importance only dofollow backlinks. Dofollow links tell search engines to follow that particular site. If the website or blog on which we are placing link is a dofollow then search engines will follow our links and we would be able to get chance of higher pagerank. And if the blog or sites are nofollow then our link will be ignored by search engines.

I know do-follow helpful links for improving Serps rank and PR but what's behind the secret of No-follow? it's Useless in SEO or Helpful any one can explain this all No-follow Process.

[jeromechiaro]

Actually by default all natural links are DoFollow so it's simple and easy to understand and you have to just place a link like that you usually do and it will be a DoFollow link.But the benefit of DoFollow link to your site is that you will be able to receive their vote and that will improve your ranking. But if you use the NoFollow link then you will not receive any vote and your ranking will remain the same,means it will not decrease your ranking but the backlink will not be counted.

A link that have 'rel=nofollow' tag in '<a href="">' tag of html code, known as No follow link and the absence of this tag in '<a href="">' tag called as Do follow links. Basically Google not crawled the link with nofollow tag but it can be useful for the site in visitor point of view.

[TwinUpload]

Do Follow is a HTML attribute that tells search engine to follow the link whereas no follow tells the search engine for not following the given link.

Actually Dofollow hyperlinks tell google to go by that particular site. If the web or blogsite you are positioning your weblink is a dofollow, then google will adhere to your hyperlinks and you will have potential for greater authority. and if the site is search engines then your weblink will just get ignored by google and you will not get any possibilities of getting greater in the face of google.

[ADRIANEra]

links are considerable for crawler are called do follow and not considerable for crawler are called no follow

[narayanna]

nofollow is a value that can be assigned to the rel attribute of an HTML a element to instruct some search engines that a hyperlink should not influence the link.

[Bella Ross]

links which have the attribute to follow are called do follow and which are not have the follow links are no follow these attributes are commands for crawlers.

[Mikeleonard]

Dofollow Link are crawled by Search engine and It increase your sites ranking .

[akchauhan]

[trishia]

SE bots / crawlers / spiders crawls the web page, they come accross the links and crawl them. But when the link ‘Nofollow’ link characterstic is used the crawlers or spider not able to follow the link.

exactly, do follow gives greater weight on google since google spiders will follow the links and is use in interlinking of both sites. but do follow and no follow gives equal weights in yahoo and bing.

[gilgil2]

Nofollow can still be valuable as it does pass some value as has been shown here - blog backlinks, but any link can drive traffic to your site.

[Webmastergrace]

Dofollow are those links which pass value to the search engines and it make its search engine ranking improve.
Nofollow" provides a way for webmasters to tell search engines "Don't follow links on this page" or "Don't follow this specific link."

I agree with you.

[upbiz123]

dofollow is the visible and no follow is the un visible tools and the dofollow will really help you to gain the rank for the website .
