What is a nofollow link?
Few years ago Google, Yahoo and Msn have united to and accepted the nofollow attribute, which was created to reduce the spam links in forums and blog comments. This means that every link which is created without nofollow attribute, is being indexed by Google, Yahoo and other major search engines. Every time you are giving a link to the other site, you are making a vote for this or that blog or website, thus giving a point to them. As you might know incoming link (back-link, or inbound link) has a great influence on blog’s or website’s popularity, which is known as Page Rank. And It is not a secret that spammers do everything to get those links.
Why using a nofollow attribute?
The thing is that you can and must link somebody when you are running a blog or a website, but did you consider that Google may penalize or even lower your Page Rank, if your link is a paid one? For example you write a promotional article and some money maker is paying you for that! Or you have got a spam comment but you really need that comment to be in your blog- simply change the spam link with nofollow attribute and you are done. This are some of the main reasons why Google created such attribute.
In general we use a nofollow attribute to tell Google spiders not to crawl this or that specific link and help to seo optimize our site.
How to create a nofollow link?
Usual link looks like this in Html:
<a href=”http://www.example.com/”>Linked Text</a>
This is how it looks like with rel=nofollow attribute shown in bold.
<a href=”http://www.example.com/” rel=”nofollow”>Linked Text</a>
or
<a rel=”nofollow” href=”http://www.example.com/”>Linked Text</a>
You can use any of the above mentioned examples to create more efficient and money making blog.
Remember: The whole money making process consists from small technical and informational details.

Thanks for the info!!! I am starting to understand more, but a lot of this stuff I still don’t get!!! lol
Ok If you can say what was unclear I will be very thankful. I will be Glad to Optimize this Post to make it more effective. 
what about for exchange review like we do before? or a review, does google penalize if we do some exchange reviews? so do follow comment is not good for our pagerank health?
It doesn’t penalize for link exchange! In this case such review is the same. So don’t worry about that –
It’s just cool. I know some people say that, but that was not the reason Google created the nofollow attribute. Another thing is that when giving a lot of links to bad websites it may lower the Page Rank. My PR has moved up on 3 points so it is a good thing when you link and get a backlink from higher PR.
Yes and about Comments it is absolutely True- Most blog comments are set on nofollow by default. So we try not to create do follows for comments.
Great Tips……
thanks. I didn’t knew about that.
Thanks for the post! I know there are some people out there questioning whether to follow or not follow. I’m not sure if this clears it up for me or not. I may have to go back and read it again. lol
That is the easiest way.
No follow links keeps one’s blog page rank intact!
I put away to nofollow from my comment link. And now there are many commenter’s in my blog. I think the trend nowadays is like this: Give your visitors a reward by putting away the nofollow attribute.
‘nofollow’ blog often make people turn off from commenting on your blog. That is because your readers also hope to get some traffic from your blog to theirs. Try to reward your readers at times by turning it on to ‘follow’ blog.
But how Google penalizes you? Do they have a blacklist or something? How do they know that a link leads to a “bad” side?
Also using this tag on my site
Before i was not using it, but now after using this tag … i have seen some changes in my site rankings too.
Thanks for the info… But what is rel=”external nofollow” and how does it differ from just rel=”nofollow”??
@TechnoSamrat An external nofollow is something like telling the crawlers that it is an external link, but I don’t think there is a big difference between just nofollow and external nofollow.
Here is a description on how crawlers understand it:
rel=”nofollow” – it says: (Do not count this link)
rel=”external nofollow” – it says: (It is an external link do not count it)
thanks for the helpful information..
Please guide me how I create a dofollo link in a back link

Hi Debasish, Depends what do you mean in dofollow backlink.
If you want to get dofollow backlinks from other sites, you should either ask the site owners to exchange links with your site or buy a 1 way dofollow link from the site/blog owner.
You can also try commenting on dofollow blogs.
Hello Luka Zet, do you feel that people who have Blogs without the do follow attribute are better of than those with it? Many people have begun using the do follow attribute in recent years but I wonder if their efforts will end up backfiring on them.What do you think about that yourself?
Hello Article Writing King… Thanks for your question – To be honest it’s really nice that there are so many dofollow blogs on the net, but there is a big disadvantage also: Most bloggers leave their comments only to get a link back which doesn’t really mean that they are interested in the actual discussion. Although some dofollow blogs manage to control the quality of comments when implementing strict rules for commenting.
Question: How do you think about it as an Article King?
HAHA, well I can understand why people want to make their Blogs or websites no follow. However, if you give to the people you will receive as well.
Some of the highest ranking blogs I have found are do follow. I have noticed that many people like to hit an run with their comments, simply to get the link. But of course it comes down to time. People many times don’t have time to sit and write long comments unless they are very interested or have something passionate to comment with.
In your Blogs case you have a nice niche as many people still don’t understand the Do follow or No follow concept.Overall from what I have been seeing the do follow freedom is no good unless you moderate your comments well. Without moderation you will end up with a spam pool.PHIL
