But which one is more valuable for your SEO efforts?<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2463\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adlift.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Value-of-Nofollow-Backlinks.webp\" alt=\"Nofollow vs Dofollow Backlinks Which is More Valuable for SEO\" width=\"512\" height=\"341\" \/><\/p>\n<p>First, let&#8217;s define what these types of links are. A nofollow backlinks are links that have a rel=&#8221;nofollow&#8221; attribute in its HTML code. This attribute tells search engines not to follow the link and not to pass any PageRank or authority to the linked website. On the other hand, a dofollow backlink is a link that doesn&#8217;t have the rel=&#8221;nofollow&#8221; attribute and is therefore seen as a &#8220;vote&#8221; for the linked website.<\/p>\n<p>Now, let&#8217;s talk about which type of <a href=https:\/\/www.adlift.com\/in\/blog\/google-december-2022-link-spam-update-rolling-out-now\/>link<\/a> is more valuable for SEO. The truth is, both types of links can be valuable for your SEO efforts, but for different reasons.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Value_of_Nofollow_Backlinks\"><\/span>The Value of Nofollow Backlinks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While nofollow backlinks don&#8217;t pass any PageRank or authority to the linked website, they can still be valuable for your <a href=https:\/\/www.adlift.com\/in\/search-engine-optimization\/>SEO<\/a> efforts. Here&#8217;s why:<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"They_Can_Drive_Traffic_to_Your_Website\"><\/span>They Can Drive Traffic to Your Website<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Even though nofollow backlinks don&#8217;t pass any PageRank or authority, they can still drive traffic to your website. If someone clicks on nofollow backlinks and ends up on your website, that&#8217;s still a potential customer or client that you wouldn&#8217;t have had otherwise.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"They_Can_Help_with_Brand_Visibility\"><\/span>They Can Help with Brand Visibility<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If your website is mentioned on a high-traffic website, even if the link is nofollow, it can still help with brand visibility. The more people see your brand name and website, the more likely they are to remember it and visit it in the future.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"They_Can_Help_with_Link_Diversity\"><\/span>They Can Help with Link Diversity<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Having a diverse link profile is important for your SEO efforts. If all of your backlinks are dofollow, that could look suspicious to search engines. By having a mix of nofollow and dofollow backlinks, you can show search engines that your backlink profile is natural and not manipulated.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Value_of_Dofollow_Backlinks\"><\/span>The Value of Dofollow Backlinks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>While nofollow backlinks can be valuable for your SEO efforts, dofollow backlinks are generally seen as more valuable. Here&#8217;s why:<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"They_Can_Pass_PageRank_and_Authority_to_Your_Website\"><\/span>They Can Pass PageRank and Authority to Your Website<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When a website links to your website with a dofollow backlink, it&#8217;s essentially giving your website a &#8220;vote&#8221; of confidence. That vote can help to pass PageRank and authority to your website, which can help it to rank higher in search engine results pages (<a href=https:\/\/www.adlift.com\/in\/blog\/competitive-analysis-serp-competitors-performing\/>SERPs<\/a>).<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"They_Can_Help_with_Keyword_Rankings\"><\/span>They Can Help with Keyword Rankings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If a dofollow backlink is placed with relevant anchor text (the clickable text of the link), it can help to signal to search engines what your website is about. This can help to improve your keyword rankings for the targeted keyword.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"They_can_Help_to_Build_Relationships\"><\/span>They can Help to Build Relationships<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Building relationships with other <a href=https:\/\/www.adlift.com\/in\/>websites<\/a> in your industry can be valuable for your overall online presence. By getting dofollow backlinks from high-quality websites in your industry, you can show search engines that your website is a trusted source of information.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, both nofollow and dofollow backlinks can be valuable for your SEO efforts. Nofollow backlinks can help with driving traffic, <a href=https:\/\/www.adlift.com\/in\/blog\/why-celebrity-advertising-is-a-smart-investment-for-your-brand\/s\/>brand visibility<\/a>, and link diversity, while dofollow backlinks can help with passing PageRank and authority, keyword rankings, and building relationships. It&#8217;s important to have a mix of both types of links in your backlink profile to show search engines that your link building efforts are natural and not manipulated.<\/p>\n<section class=\"seo-dk faq-dk\">\n<div class=\"container\">\n<div class=\"seo-dk-in\">\n<div class=\"heading-typ6-dk\">\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs\"><\/span>FAQs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"accordionExample\" class=\"accordion mt-5\">\n<div class=\"card\">\n<div id=\"headingOne\" class=\"card-header\">\n<h3 class=\"acc-h\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_What_is_the_difference_between_nofollow_and_dofollow_backlinks\"><\/span><button class=\"btn btn-link btn-block text-left\" type=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#collapseOne\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-controls=\"collapseOne\"> 1.

Dofollow links pass link juice and help your website&#8217;s SEO. On the other hand, &#8216;nofollow&#8217; inks don&#8217;t pass any link juice and subsequently don&#8217;t affect your website&#8217;s SEO. Typically, &#8216;nofollow&#8217; backlinks are used for any links that the website owner does not want to endorse.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"card\">\n<div id=\"headingTwo\" class=\"card-header\">\n<h3 class=\"acc-h\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Are_nofollow_backlinks_completely_useless_for_SEO\"><\/span><button class=\"btn btn-link btn-block text-left collapsed\" type=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#collapseTwo\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapseTwo\"> 2.

While &#8216;dofollow&#8217; links provide <a href=https:\/\/adlift.com\/in\/blog\/want-more-link-juice-for-your-website-heres-how-to-get-it\/ rel=\"nofollow\">link juice<\/a> and positively impact your SEO, &#8216;nofollow&#8217; links still have some other benefits:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">Nofollow links provide referral traffic.

Yes, nofollow backlinks can still drive traffic to your website. However, they may not directly affect your search engine rankings. Since nofollow <a href=https:\/\/www.adlift.com\/in\/blog\/understanding-the-impact-of-toxic-links-on-seo\/s\/>backlinks<\/a> can increase your website&#8217;s exposure, they can be an indispensable part of your strategy to increase website traffic.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"card\">\n<div id=\"headingFour\" class=\"card-header\">\n<h3 class=\"acc-h\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Do_search_engines_consider_nofollow_backlinks_when_determining_rankings\"><\/span><button class=\"btn btn-link btn-block text-left collapsed\" type=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#collapseFour\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapseFour\"> 4.

Simply put, nofollow links are useless in increasing your website&#8217;s authority.

Search engines like Google only check for dofollow backlinks; if your link folio is impressive, they improve your website&#8217;s visibility. On the other hand, nofollow <a href=https:\/\/www.adlift.com\/in\/blog\/diversifying-your-backlink-portfolio-for-effective-seo-strategy\/s\/>backlinks<\/a> are not directly considered as direct ranking signals, but they still have referral value.

To see a real-time change in your website&#8217;s <a href=https:\/\/www.adlift.com\/in\/seo-tools\/moz-rank-checker\/>rankings<\/a>, you must also focus on other factors.
