Difference Between No-Follow and Do -Follow Links
July 10th, 2010

Back-Links have great importance in ranking a website on search engines. But SEO Consultants took it in a wrong direction and started messing forums, blogs and other channels by posting their links. And they also caused a change in search engine algorithms because they were creating problems for search engines to identify the best result for the query. Google and other search engines finally got a solution to prevent ranking of real sites from damaging. They introduced another HTML Attribute for the site owners who don’t want their websites to be used for Search Engine Optimization Purpose. That HTML Attribute helped a lot in stopping SEO Consultants from posting their links or spamming on their sites.

Now the links are divided into two big categories:

  1. No Follow
  2. Do Follow

 

No-Follow Links:

Nofollow is an HTML Attribute value used to tell search engines that the link should not influence the search engine ranking of the link that was posted in. That means if links are marked with nofollow attribute value, those links will not be considered by search engines bots but will be reflected to the users as a hyperlink. A common example of declaring no-follow links is as followed:

<a href=”http://www.seoconsultant.net/” rel=”nofollow”>SEO Consulting Services</a>

Though, no-follow links are worthless for search engines but they can be a big source of routing organic customers to your site. SEO Consultants who don’t work for people but search engines, they don’t participate in discussions on websites those don’t allow do-follow links but Consultants who work people, not for search engines; they do post their links on no-follow websites because they understand that NO-Follow links are equally important.

“We work for People, not for Search Engines” and that is the key to our success.
