What is a No Follow Link?
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.
A no follow link is created with the nofollow link HTML tag, which looks like this:
<a href=”http://www.blabla.com/” rel=”nofollow”>Example</a>
The nofollow tag is basically a notice sign for search engines saying “don’t count this.”
Isn’t that just mean and terrible? Why would anyone do such a thing? There’s a reason for the nofollow attribute, and boy is it a good one!
What is a Do Follow Link ?
Before coming to the explanation of Do Follow link, here is how the normal link juice transfer takes place for dofollow links.
Dofollow link passes link juice and they definitely help you much, in order to achieve good page rank. As it instructs search engine spiders to follow this link.
<a href = http://www.blabla.com rel="external">Example</a>

If you find no rel attribute in link then also its being treated as a dofollow link.
