When a person uses any anchor link in their writing, search engines may follow it and consider it as a backlink or a vote for the linked website. However, there are plenty of spammers out there who make bad use of this system. Especially the comment spammers post irrelevant comments in different niche websites and hamper the regular flow of conversation there.
There are also some other reasons (e.g. to prevent link juice flowing to the pages that are not very important from SEO perspective) why sometimes we may need to tell the search engine not to follow some of the links that can be found in a particular web page. So in plain words, we can say that links that are followed and recognized by different search engines are called DoFollow links. On the other hand, links that are not followed or recognized by the search engines are called NoFollow links.
How to check DoFollow and NoFollow backlinks?
We have discussed about what dofollow is and what nofollow is and what they do. But how to check whether the links found in a particular website are DoFollow or NoFollow links?
Actually, there are multiple tools that you can use to determine whether a link is DoFollow or NoFollow. In order to determine if a blog or website allows DoFollow links, you need to check some of the links of that website using some online DoFollow link checker tools. You go to the website for which you want to check the blog contents being dofollow or nofollow. There you will see the names of all the approved bloggers, right click on the name of that bloggers, you will see a pop-up menu coming with lots of option for check, click on “Inspect Element”. The screen will get divided and a separate screen showing the selection source will come. See the highlighted lines, there, you will be able to see whether the blog post is dofollow or nofollow.
DoFollow backlinks are very important for any website to become famous and get highly ranked in search engines.
