Types of Backlinks

Types of Backlinks

  1. There are two basic types of backlinks, and one is more valuable than the other.
  2. A Nofollow tag tells search engines to ignore a link. They don’t pass any value from one site to another. So, typically they aren’t helpful in improving your search rank or visibility.
  3. Dofollow links are the type of backlink that everyone wants. Just keep in mind that those coming from respected sites hold the most value. This kind of backlink can help improve your search engine rankings.
