I have heard a lot many times about do follow links. Can anybody tell me what does that mean?

**chrishirst** · 06-27-2010, 10:38 AM

No idea what "no follow" is but you can read about nofollow here

**mikeapple** · 06-30-2010, 03:34 AM

hii...

Dofollow and nofollow are two Link building methods.

when we create a link on webpage using HTML we use a tag like....

<a href="http://www.example.com/" rel="nofollow">Next</a>

This link with rel="nofollow" is a nofollow link. It simply tells the web spider not to crowl the link.

On the other hand if do not use rel="nofollow", the link is called a dofollow.

Web spider will crowl the link in this case.....

Dofollow links are those which are giving some link juice or some % of their PR

<sarcasm> I found this great website called Google the other day. You can try your searches there. It usually gives me results in the millions when I search. I highly recommend it </sarcasm>

Seriously, why bother registering here and asking such questions when you can get relevant and better results from search engine results? (Not that Webmaster-talk is a bad place. But questions such as this, waters down the whole thing.)

Really? Do you use the "nofollow link building method" usually?

How does Google handle nofollowed links?

In general, we don't follow them

It says "In General" it does NOT say explicitly "We NEVER follow them.

Wrong, there may be other restriction place on the link. It does NOT automagically mean that the absence of the rel="nofollow" attribute ensures that the link WILL be followed!

@ Badman : ha ha... that's what every one knows about...

Its a operator which tells the Crawler that to follow the link or not for indexing..

Do Follow Links are links that doesn't possess the "nofollow" attribute and many SEO practitioner thinks is more important to Google.

yes, i agree with you. i think this is the perfect answer for understanding of Dofollow and Nofollow links.

**chrishirst** · 07-05-2010, 09:20 AM

I think this thread REALLY does serve to demonstrate how little most of you actually know, and how little you understand the things you THINK you know

@charlie:lol...rightly said buddy..google will provide help on every topic..

Do follow link means search engine spider crawl link and share pagerank with your site.

**hamiltonn** · 07-09-2010, 12:21 AM

DOfollow links are used to increase the PR of your site ! search engine crawls through them and increase Pr of specific site.....

**MeRulez777** · 07-09-2010, 06:09 AM

There is no such thing as doFollow, doFollow is not noFollow (rel="nofollow") and it means that Google follows the link and gives your PR for it.
