Do Follow Vs. No Follow Links: What's the Difference?

[jay]

If the search engines do not take attention on no-follow links, what is the point of building no follow backlinks? How do we generate do follow links, I mean how do you find out which link is no follow and which one is do follow?

Seriously, I don't understand the logic in doing that because it makes no sense to me at all. Good quality backlinks are supposed to enable a follow to your website and drag a lot of traffic to it.

Good quality backlinks means your backlinks are coming from reputed sites, sites that are ranked higher than your site on the search engines and the sites that get huge traffic. Quality backlink also means backlinks are do follow.

Do follow backlinks allow the link juice to flow to your website. This type of link will help to boost the ranking of your website. No follow links will not pass any ranking power to your website.

There is a big difference, one type of links will tell search engines to follow (do follow links) and another type of link will tell search engines not to follow the link no follow), when search engines follow the links, the content might be ranked high.

Nofollow backlinks are those that do not pass authority to the website they're being linked to; truth is they don't help in SEO in any positive way and should only be used on peculiar cases such as when you sell a link, use widgets and so on.
Dofollow links are exactly the opposite, so it's better you utilise them.

To the average website user, dofollow and nofollow links look exactly the same. ... According to Google, nofollow links don't pass any PageRank to the website being linked. This means that nofollow links pointing at your website do not directly affect your site's position in search engine results pages
