What is the difference between Follow and Do follow?

[Henry Ford]

Hello Friends!

According to my knowledge there are two type of links the Do-follow and No-follow.

Do-follow:- It refers to the link which tells the search engine to follow the link. Search engine spider crawls the link and this becomes helpful in getting the PR juice. By default, a normal link is considered as do-follow link. They are completely opposite to no-follow link. Do-follow link becomes very helpful to improve the results of your website.

No-follow:- No-follow link becomes helpful to drive traffic to your website. It is a value that is assigned to rel attribute of HTML language that tells the search engine that target link should not affect the target ranking. You need to add rel="nofollow" attribute to create nofollow link.

yeah along with specifying links to nofollow or to prevent the flow or value of your page to flow to specific links, You can also use this attribute to control the flow of PR between your main and inner pages as well. You can specify which pages are important and which are not or which pages to follow and which not to from all the pages of your website.

Do follow links are the links that search engine spiders crawls and indexed to specify the rankings of each site while do follow is the opposite of it.

Hi,


Nofollow is an HTML attribute value used to instruct some search engines that a hyperlink should not influence the link target’s ranking in the search engine’s index. It is intended to reduce the effectiveness of certain types of search engine spam, thereby improving the quality of search engine results and preventing spamdexing from occurring in the first place. When links are “do follow” it simply means that the link does pass Page Rank, and it is a normal link.

Follow the search engine index of hyperlinks to the link target's ranking in some search engines should not affect the HTML that is used to dictate the value of the property. It thereby improving the quality of search engine results and preventing spam Indexing from start to occur, certain types of search engine spam is intended to reduce the effect. Links "to follow" the link when it simply means that pass page rank, it is a normal link.

Thanks for that nice definition of do follow and no follow links. I believe that they have their own uses even no follow links. do follow links give the link juice but no follow links can also help in promoting your site.

No-follow are not crawling by search engine. Do-follow allow search engine to crawl links. No-follow tag we can use if we are using a link for reference not for crawl. Both are good for human traffic.
