DoFollow is simply an internet slang term given to web pages or sites that are not utilizing NoFollow. NoFollow is a hyperlink attribute (much like the "ALT" or "TITLE" tags) that tells search engines not to pass on any credibility or influence to an outbound link. Originally created to help the blogging community reduce the number of inserted links into a "comment" area of a blog page, the attribute is typically standard in blog comments. It helps overwhelmed webmasters disallow spammers from gaining any kind of advantage by inserting an unwanted link on a popular page. As a result of the implementation of NoFollow: link building has taken a massive hit, as many sites including Wikis, social bookmarking sites, corporate and private blogs, commenting plugins and many other venues and applets across the internet began implementing NoFollow. This made effective link building difficult for both honest people and spammers alike. How Search Engines Use NoFollow Search engines each interpret NoFollow in their own way. Here's a list of the major search engines, and their actions when a NoFollow link is seen: • Google follows NoFollow links but simply does not pass on credit to an outbound link that is tagged with the attribute. • Yahoo follows NoFollow links and excludes the link from all ranking calculations. • MSN may or may not follow a NoFollow link, but it does exclude it from ranking calculations. • Ask.com does not adhere to NoFollow.
