State the difference between ‘nofollow’ and ‘dofollow’ link
Hi Friends,
The only technical difference between the two is that a nofollow link has a nofollow tag. As a user, it's impossible to tell the difference between a nofollow and dofollow link. However, they ONLY count dofollow links in their algorithm. In fact, according to Google, nofollow links don't pass any PageRank.
Do you really need answer to this basic difference?
don't know how to use Google or any other SE to find such easily searchable answers?
Dofollow links are links which allow search engine bots to follow the links and rank them with the mentioned keywords. This helps to increase your SEO rankings. If you get a dofollow link on high authority website your ranking improves a great deal.
NoFollow links are used when you do not want search engine bots to follow the links. e.g. Usually nofollow links are used on the commenting section where many audience usually spam. So site owners use nofollow link on comments to discourage bots and spammers.

Nofollow links attributes do not allow search engine bots to follow link. That means if the website owner is linking back to you with nofollow attributes, it does not pass on link juice
Dofollow links allow google (all search engines) to follow them and reach the website by Giving link juice and a backlink.
Do follow and no follow are link attributes and contain instructions for search engine robots. Do follow links are crawled and indexed in search engines whereas no follow links are never crawled and indexed in search engines.
Enough answers are given, I think @admin should close the thread now!!
