What is a no follow link?

[homeworkrank201]

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.homeworkrank.com/” rel=”nofollow”>Link Text</a>

The nofollow tag is basically a notice sign for search engines saying “don’t count this.”

Nofollow links attributes do not allow search engine bots to follow link.That means if the website owner is linking back to you with nofollow attributes, it does not pass on link juice. Only Humans will be able to follow the links. Though some time back Google made it clear that they don’t consider nofollow link attributes but weightage of such links are really less. Even though, it’s a good practice to use Nofollow link attribute to those link, where you don’t want to pass link-juice.

A nofollow link is a link that doesn’t point to another site. In other words, we can say that nofollow links refers to backlinks that tell the search engines to not go any further. These does not boost PageRank, and also doesn’t help a page’s placement in the SERPs (Search Engine Result Page).

A Nofollow link refers to backlinks that tell the search engines to not go any further, hence “nofollow”. By adding the no follow tag in a backlink, these links don’t transfer link juice. Remember that link juice is what determines Page Rank, and the more link juice you have, the higher the page rank a page has. Ways to identify this type of link is looking for a term that looks as follows: <a href=”http://www.yoursite.com”rel=”nofollow”>Anchor Text</a>. Notice the only difference from this and a Do Follow link (a link that does transfer link juice) is the rel=”nofollow” add on.
