Dofollow links are counted by Google as backlinks. Nofollow ones aren't. However, they can still drive traffic to your site. Don't underestimate what nofollow links can do.

no follow is also a link. Yahoo count it, if you are focusing in Google well just choose do follow and build more quality back links.

yeah, i agree with this

Dofollow link is all that matter . No follow links doesnt matter at all

in short nofollow is nothing but a banner, it is will be removed in the calculation of your rankings.

google bots or crawler doesnt index nofollow links. in short nofollow links are useless in google but there are search engines that consider nofollow links.

Only google differs Dofollow and Nofollow
Nofollow links are not considered by google since dofollow links are considered by google and the websites which have good amount of dofollow links may get high rank in google.

In short, do follow means you will get benifit of backlink from google and no follow mean you will not get benifited or your link can not be read by google.

No follow is a Html code attached to hyperlinks to give the bots instructions not to follow to the other page and not include the link in PR calculation for the site..

if you want to do some backlinks, i think do follow webiste can help you

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. DoFollow = Follow this link.

DoFollow = Follow this link.

WRONG!

There is NO specific "dofollow" http://www.modtalk.co.uk/article/c-a...-follow-that!/

Simply speaking, nofollow and dofollow links are all links but nofollow links would not transfer PR values to their linking pages.

Candise -- excellent post. Good reading.

I myself believe backlinks, whether do-follow or no-follow, are all important. Of course do-follow links are better, though building no-follow links is never a bad thing. As mentioned above, some search engines put more "weight" in the follow tag whereas others do not. I would reveal my research here, but I'd have to kill you... ONLY KIDDING!

HOW HOW HOW!!!!!!!!

some search engines put more "weight" in the follow tag whereas others do not.

There is no such thing as a "follow tag" so HOW can SEs "put more weight" on it??????

The difference between nofollow and dofollow is in no follow the syntax rel="nofollow" added but in dofollow it is not. and search engine give weight age to dofollow.

Winston Churchill said "A lie gets half way around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on"!

Nothing is more of a fact in the "SEO world"!!

Don't get mistaken that the opposite of nofollow is dofollow.
