    These attributues which are added to link. A do follow link will be indexed by search engine crawlers and will help your rankings whereas no follow links are not given value for rankings.

    Both Do Follow and No Follow links are crawled by search engine spiders. The big difference is that No Follow links are not indexed. Hence no effect in SERPs. But this doesn't mean they are entirely useless to Internet Marketing as a whole.

    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.

    Dofollow links allow google (all search engines) to follow them and reach our website. Giving us link juice and a backlink. If a webmaster is linking back to you with this link both Search Engine and Humans will be able to follow you. The best way to give someone dofollow love is allowing keyword in the anchor text. This means when you are linking to any website or page, use the targeted keyword as anchor text.

    Having both nofollow and dofollow links makes your backlinks look natural. Also the links you get from Yahoo Answers, Google+, Facebook and all most the social media sites are always nofollow. The nofollow link on Yahoo Answers will help you to give a lot of quality and relevant referral traffic.

    Search engine crawlers crawl the whole content on your webpage including images,links,keywords etc.Whenever they find a link,if the link is dofollow link then the crawlers follow the link and land on other webpage.Nofollow backlinks are ignored by search engine crawlers.Whenever you are linking to any website which is not of high value then use rel="nofollow" attribute in your html of the webpage.

    This was the clearest explanation that I've read yet on this issue of Nofollow and Dofollow.

    dofollow links is where the links that you build able to crawl by Google and nofollow links is where the links you build cannot be crawl by google.
    If you focus on SEO , do focus on dofollow links only because it give more weight in SEO. No follow links usually use by lot of admin that do not want their site get influence by poor links on their sites so theyset their comment, post , all to no follow links.

    It's something to get a deep understanding about linkbuilding. Thanksfor letting us know, It's about getting links from follow & nofollow websites as well to look like natural.

    The difference is that a nofollow link doesn't pass any pagerank to the page the link is pointing to. A dofollow DOES pass pagerank.
    You code it as follows:
    NOFOLLOW: <a href="..." rel="nofollow">Anchor text</a>
    DOFOLLOW: <a href="...">Anchor text</a>

    Dofollow links help you to get better SERP. Meanwhile nofollow links are just read by human. Search engine bot didn't crawl them.
