Dofollow vs. Nofollow
You’ll come across these terms when you start working on backlinks, so let us understand them clearly.
A dofollow link passes authority from the linking site to yours. It is good. It is the kind of backlink that directly contributes to your domain authority and rankings.
A nofollow link includes a small piece of code that tells Google, “don’t pass authority through this link.” These are common in blog comments, sponsored content, and social media. They don’t directly improve your rankings, but they can still send real traffic your way.
Anchor text matters too. The words used as the clickable link text give Google context about what your linked page is about. But don’t go overboard trying to stuff your target keywords into every backlink you earn. Over-optimised anchor text is not a good sign and can often act as a red flag.
