Even though Google hasn\u2019t changed the importance of backlinks, they have introduced different types of backlinks that determine how the search engine handles links between websites.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s<\/strong> talk about the types of backlinks<\/p>\n

The Types of Backlinks<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When you get down to it, there are only two types of backlinks:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Do-follow Backlinks<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. No-follow Backlinks<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Dofollow Backlinks<\/h3>\n

    Do-follow backlinks are the most common and valuable type of backlink for SEO.<\/p>\n

    When you put a Dofollow link on your website, you\u2019re telling Google that the link is organic \u2014 as in, the target website didn\u2019t buy the link<\/p>\n

    Dofollow links allow both the search engine & the users to reach the site it points to.<\/p>\n

    It passes the link juice and page rank.<\/p>\n

    Google takes notes of Dofollow links and figures how many users are linking to your page to get how really good the page is. The more Do-follow links you have, the more points you will get. The best way to give the following link is to use the keyword as the anchor text.<\/p>\n

    Here is an example:<\/p>\n

    <a href=\u201c<\/em>https:\/\/digitalkolkata.com<\/em><\/a>\/\u201d>DIGITAL KOLKATA<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

    \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 or<\/em><\/p>\n

    <a href=\u201c<\/em>https:\/\/digitalkolkata.com<\/em><\/a>\/\u201d rel=\u201ddo follow\u201d>DIGITAL KOLKATA<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

    \u00a0<\/em>Nofollow Backlinks<\/h3>\n

    Nofollow backlinks are less common. They\u2019re also less valuable. They\u2019re used to tell search engines to ignore a particular link.<\/p>\n

    No-follow provides a way for webmasters to tell search engines \u2018Don’t follow links on this page\u2019 or \u2018Don’t follow this specific link.\u2019<\/p>\n

    No-follow links allow only the users to follow the link and not the search engines.<\/p>\n

    It does not pass the link juice and page rank.<\/p>\n
