DoFollow vs NoFollow: Do You Really Need Both?
April 28, 2026·4 min read
DoFollow links pass authority; NoFollow links generally don't. So it's tempting to chase only DoFollow links — but a profile that's 100% DoFollow looks unnatural.
Real websites earn a mix: social mentions, forum posts, and many editorial links are NoFollow by default. A healthy profile reflects that diversity.
Our advice: prioritise DoFollow editorial links for ranking power, but don't panic about NoFollow links — they add legitimacy and often drive real referral traffic.
