What is the difference between a dofollow backlink and a nofollow backlink

As we all know Backlinks are of two types

• Dofollow backlinks
• Nofollow backlinks

 Dofollow backlinks

Search engines robots crawl all the webpages, images, text, hyperlink’s and everything else present on your blog/website in order to know what it all contains. When a robot while crawling reaches a dofollow backlink (hyperlink) it will also crawl that hyperlink and also the web page to which it is linked to. Means it will go to the depth of the hyperlink. It will check the hyperlink’s address and will go to the address and start crawling that web page too.

Nofollow backlinks

Nofollow backlinks are kind of opposite of dofollow one’s. They don’t allow the search engines robots/crawlers to go into the depth of the hyperlink. Therefore the webpage which is linked to the hyperlink will not be crawled by the search engines.

Q) Which is better Dofollow backlink or a Nofollow backlink?

According to me and many Bloggers only useful hyperlinks should be given a dofollow backlink which has high quality content. And the guestposts summited too should be given a dofollow backlink. Other links which are not so useful and with high quality content should be given a nofollow backlink.
