Dofollow links are obviously preferable due to the fact that they allow bots to pass credit to your site. Do nofollow links have any effect whatsoever on SEO?

    No follow links have no effect on SERPS

    Everyone's gonna say that it's good to have link diversity and to include both dofollow and nofollow

      Well said. To maintain link diversity, you should maintain dofollow and nofollow count. If you are promoting on url many times in a single site(it can be blog or any other site), keeping it nofollow is a best practice.

    A no follow link is a link that does not count as a point in the page’s favor, does not boost PageRank, and doesn’t help a page’s placement in the SERPs. No follow links get no love. Theirs is a sad and lonely life.

      nofollow links from high authority sites will help in SEO.
      Just my 2c - We don't actually have any idea if Google (or anyone else) counts nofollows at all.. Everyone in the industry assumes they don't but, we can't see under the hood..

      That said - everything I've seen would seem to indicate that they don't count for ranking anyway At the very least - they seem to be statistically insignificant

    Hi,

    No follow links don't have direct effect, even though nofollow link is not indexed by google, no follow links will be followed by google when the same link is indexed for any other reason, also no follow link will help you to increase traffic.

    Hi,

    Do follow links only will show some effect on your search engine rankings. No follow links will never show the results of your SERPS.

      I don't agree with the so called SEO analyst from India and i want to clarify this.
      Its true that do follow link passes weight to the site but for Google it doesn't matter because both are links nothing else. Google determine the quality of the link if it is engaging with the users and been shared as well as being considered as a source from a related website.

    This is time to understand SEO deeply.

    Any link that is sending you traffics, can affect SEO (positively or negatively), I'm not talking of link juice, to gain link juice, dofollow links work.

    But we should not ignore nofollow links, if nofollow links are sending you relevant visitors, they will help a lot.

    If you broaden your view of SEO beyond whether a link passes PageRank or not you can find a lot of valley to nofollow links. For starters, link diversity.

    In these days Dofollow are too waste as Google prefers only niche related links to count for SERP. No follow links may count as links in alexa tool, but nothing gives us in SERP. Building both links would be great as it become natural method of link building.

    The only reason people ever say nofollow links don't affect rankings, is because they are short sighted and focus too much on PR. Sure you can't get PR from nofollow links I guess, but that doesn't mean they have no value, some of the most valuable links I've built over the years are nofollow.

    Not equal to Dofollow, but Nofollow links are important and can increase your domain authority if gained from relevant, high authorized site.
    Consider a Nofollow link gained from Wikipedia.org site. Will you consider it as of no value?

    Some webmasters suggest you to create and link edu dofollow link.

    They have a significant impact.

    When you shoot a link, you have to think the same niche with your website have.

    Some example, if you build a link on logo design, then your backlink is a website about logo design.

    This is to reduce the bounce rate.

    I think the nofollow link is only useful for branding your domain.

    I used to stick on facebook, and just scraped some traffic

      I do not believe that nofollow links help directly, but there's no need to shy away from them. They're part of a a balanced, nutritious, and wholesome link profile. Probably Google does something with them. However, there's a huge difference between "does something" and "OMG the ultimate SEO trick evar". Don't fool yourself.

      Indeed, nofollow links can drive traffic. Does your average link buried somewhere drive any traffic? Not really, and that's what you need to think about. If you get one visitor per blog comment was it really worth the effort? Is there a way for you to get links that are prominently placed on quality websites, and what would it take?

              So you intentionally claimed I said the opposite of what I said, and on a point that was completely unrelated. Do you not realize how bad this makes you look? That kind of behaviour is just nasty. You're not willing to discuss the thing that bothers you, but still want to argue on something.

              I didn't accuse you of doing anything. You yourself confirmed in the post I'm replying to that you do in fact sell .edu links. In your previous comment it was "some webmasters" that were recommending this for no particular reason. However, I do realize that almost the only folk that peddle this crap are the ones trying to profit from schmucks who don't know better.

              If you're claiming that .edu or .gov links have link power other than the link juice those pages have you're using false claims to advertise your service. Plain and simple. Snake oil is very good analogy in this particular case. If you don't understand the history of this expression see Wikipedia.

              Of course you're free to argue your case, but so far it looks pretty bleak for you.

                So what points we take?

                In my opinion, nofollow is still useful even slightly.
                [Although slightly]

                Because fanpage also nofollow but helps domain branding.

                However nofollow does not affect the ranking of your site

                  That's not really a point on nofollow. Of course you should try to advance your business. If you can find fairly inexpensive channel to get quality traffic of course you should use it. In many cases well-kept and active FB page can indeed also help the brand.

                  Nobody's said that nofollow is something you should avoid at all cost.

                  My comment first comment dealt with the common misconception that a profile link in an invisible comment in some obscure blog is going to drive traffic.

                      What do you think that Alexa shows? It's a completely useless vanity metric. Heck, if you've got the browser extension and extensively toiled around with your sites the change in results could be from your clicks for all we know.

                      Did something concrete and useful increase? SERP results, visits, backlinks...

                      The Twitter comment kind of went to the wrong guy. I would never say that Twitter works for SEO or for getting backlinks. I know this because I've been tweeting for ages and my profile page is PR5. Last time I checked Google's tweet indexation was just awful - couldn't even find tweets that I had posted year ago. As far as I know it hasn't changed a bit.

                      The only SEO effect from Twitter is indirect: someone sees your article and links to it from their site. I'm bad at getting links from Twitter, so I don't bother even trying.

                    I do.

                    Twitter is a completely different animal. It has nothing to do with getting
                    nofollow links just because twitter is nofollow.

                    That would be a ridiculous statement. Using twitter as an example of
                    why you should get nofollow links, is like saying to go out and eat
                    garbage because 100 000 000 000 000 000 000 flies can't be wrong.

                    Twitter has zip to do with your linking profile. Ditto FB.

      It's not controversial nor is it for diversity. That's complete BS.

      Nofollow has zero effect on SEO. Period. End of story. Unless, of course, you
      want to talk about the bad effects.

      But nobody above cares about that. They are just peddling crap.

      Nofollow will not help anything.

      You people absolutely do not want to succeed. You want to either:

      A) Take money from fools who have no clue you have no clue.
      Or
      B) Be one of those fools.

    This is a good discussion and I am learning a lot! I've been thinking lately what's the difference between the two and how can they help when it comes to ranking a website. After reading the comments above, it makes me think dofollow vs nofollow is like SEO and SMM. One brings traffic and the other one helps with the ranking.

    As a post on fb group, nofollow backlinks simply add your traffic.

    It will not increase your rank

    Thanks for all the Input... I bought into a PBN and was promised do-follow links. Well after the work that I contracted out. I used SEO moz and seen that all the supposed "Do-follow" links were NO - Follow ... I confronted the guy I hired and he said that since the No-follow links were on high PR BLOGS. IT WOULD STILL HELP A lot. I have been doing this for awhile and I really think He screwed me.

    What say YOU ?????

    Hi, Yes no follow links are also very important for any website, they are very effective for website popularity. I have read Google update, where i have read that no follow links also very impotent as like Do Follow links.

    At last i would like to say that both nofollow and dofollow links are important.

    Nofollow backlinks not giving any link juice to your website but its a part of latest link building technique. If you only build do-follow links then Google knows you are creating backlinks for your website. So, try to build both backlink method which is natural in Google's eye.

    I think Nofollow links have no impact on search rankings this is what Google tell us etc. But no follow links do make a link profile look more natural and there has been some observations that they can assist you.

    Nofollow backlinks may affect indirectly - since they help you in building your site authority, that's the value in eyes of Google. And they bring you traffic.

    in these day's not important are backlink. how build lot of dofollow and nofollow backlink they don't get any rank and how create good content and relevant article post on your website blog and some other article's site news site web 2.0 and some other article related websites they will get result good and fast.

    It is always best to stick with do-follow if possible as I believe no-follow doesn't actually benefit you however having a mixture of both can never do any harm.

    Nofollow links only help you to get only visit but they are nothing to do with ranking.
    We add nofollow links when ever the content is having enough links but we need to add link to the particular keyword we use nofollow links.

    Hi, Dofollow are too waste as Google prefers only niche related links to count for SERP. No follow links may count as links in alexa tool, but nothing gives us in SERP. Building both links would be great as it become natural method of link building.

    There is a lot of debate around nofollow links and their impact on SEO. As SEOs I think that we shouldn't be so obsessed with only getting "followed" links. If a link is from a strong site and will pass traffic then I think you should go and get it. If you're really trying to build your brand online you shouldn't obsess over whether a specific link is relevant for SEO - you should be thinking about whether a link is good for your brand, because you can be sure this is what Google is trying to reward. In particular, I've seen Wikipedia drive significant amounts of traffic even for niche terms without huge search volume.

      That's certainly possible, but I've seen Wikipedia not drive any traffic because the real link is in the bottom of the page and not too many users are interested enough to click through.

      Links in signature will not help your SEO. Not on this site, and not on any other forum.
