A Nofollow Link is a hyperlink with a rel='nofollow' attribute, instructing search engines not to pass SEO authority or “link juice” to the linked site. While nofollow links don’t directly boost rankings, they drive referral traffic and add natural diversity to a backlink profile. They’re common in comments, sponsored content, or untrusted links. Backlink Finder’s marketplace listings often clarify nofollow vs. dofollow status, helping users choose links via Keyword Search or SERPs Guest Post Finder. For instance, a nofollow link from a popular blog still brings visitors but won’t enhance SEO directly. Maintain a mix of nofollow and dofollow links to appear organic to Google, focusing on reputable sources for credibility.
