Which links (follow or no follow) are better for getting SEO value?

[advik94]

I know that do-follow links are better for getting my website ranked higher in Google. However, my question is for external links - from my blog.

I write a blog and I include links to websites with high DA (above 70). I am doing this to show Google first of all that my content is related to this industry from the links, but also to establish high authority for my website.

So, should I use no follow or followed links? I heard that if I have lots of external links, the effect could be opposite.

Do Follow Links give you backlinks which is counted by search engine but no follow gives you only traffic but not count by google for ranking factor. But you should build both backlinks

Yes, You heard right! Too many external links can hurt you. So maintain the external links and no need to keep each link do-follow! you can set them as no follow also!

It's good to maintain balance between the do follow and no follow links, as only do follow links are also harmful for you.

Nofollow links might not give an immediate bump to your PageRank, but by providing visibility and organic traffic, they can steer people to your website, encourage the kind of sharing and linking that will get you dofollows and link juice, help your site maintain a “natural” profile and boost your overall authority metrics.

Follow links are links that count as points, pushing SEO link juice and boosting the page rank of the linked-to sites, helping them go higher in the SERPs as a result.
The nofollow tag is basically a notice sign for search engines saying “don’t count this.”
