What is Dofollow backlink ?

As i said above this type of backlinks is the most effective to search ranking.

What is Nofollow backlinks ?
Normally Nofollow backlinks are been ignored by search engine crawlers. they just skip that links and keep looking at your content on the page. if you need to set your links as Nofollow, you can just use rel=”nofollow” attribute. if Nofollow is only for external links you can use attribute as rel=”external nofollow”

My External links should be Dofollow or Nofollow ?
I suggest you to use Nofollow for outgoing links in your page as default. And use Dofollow for just links which are relevant to the content.

Thank you very much. Now I understand more about backlinks. I must focus on Dofollow backlinks, it's is more useful for SEO than nofollow backlinks.

Very nice article... Lots of people doesn't know about the diffrence between dofollow and nofollow backlinks and what are the causes and benefits. Thanks for sharing.

Informative post. Its very interesting and much useful. You have given clear idea about dofollow and nofollow links.

I used to only search for Dofollow backlinks to get more link juice flowing to my page. And I have scoured the internet looking for places with dofollow. However, with Google's recent implementation of Peguin and Panda, I would have to say I am getting great results from having a good mix of both. Having both Dofollow and nofollow seems to look more organic and "natural" to the algorithm. So, until the next update, my vote is to go with both. Look at it this way, even nofollow backlinks will drive real human traffic to your site. How can that be bad?

Using a combination of dofollow and nofollow backlinks is best. ratio of 50-50 is perfect.
