More on link building and where you get dofollow links
Wednesday, April 7th, 2010Link building is hugely important in promoting your website because relevant links increase authority of your site. As authority goes up, so do your search engine rankings. Not all links are created equal. Some have "nofollow" attribute, some "dofollow".
"dofollow" links are generally better because they pass Google Juice to the site they are linking too. The more Google Juice flows your way, the higher authority your site gets when it comes to search ranking. More about what Google Juice is.
"nofollow" links are still great to have but less desirable because they don't let the Google Juice flow through. Nonetheless, "nofollow" links add balance and should definitely be part of your link building strategy.
Most of the links today are "nofollow" because site owners don't want to let go of the Juice from their site. At the same time there's the whole "dofollow" movement happening... But this is a totally different post about Social Media, Sharing and Value transfer...
