What is a Dofollow link ?
Dofollow helps a lot in
increasing page rank dramatically, but the condition is, if you have dofollow
links for your site from higher ranking sites and relevant as well. Each link
is by default dofollow until the nofollow attribute is added, however,
rel=dofollow attribute can also be added to links for making it sure that the
link is a permanent dofollow link.
What is a nofollow link
?
Nofollow link doesn’t help in
increasing Page Rank, though, Dofollow does. A link becomes nofollow for search
engines when the rel=nofollow HTML attribute is added to it, however, is
something is not added then the link is by default dofollow. So when nofollow
attribute is added, then the link is not followed by search engines’ robots.
However, the anchor text inside the link is crawled and index by robots.
Other sort of Similar Attributes

given respect by search engines

Also some kind of references which
are used for different links:

So keep these points in mind while
