Link exchange is up to your agreement. In your own forum better do nofollow links to escape from spam writers

for inbound links you are better to use both the same time. Only dofollow links are suspicious

Do follow is obviously good and will help you in ranking but that doesn't mean no follow will penalize you, some good sites also provide you no follow tag but since it's a quality link so its important.

If you want to link exchange adding a rel="nofollow" attribute to the <a> tag.

You should concentrate on building do-follow links because they are the source of increasing website's page rank and improving visibility of keywords in search engine results.

Do follow links provide you with better "link juice" which helps in boosting your rankings on search engine. No follow links also generate referral traffic, so mixture of both must be followed to create a "natural" link profile.

Minimize your linkexchange according to Jim Boykin. Here some post artcle about it: http://www.awebguy.com/2011/02/reciprocal-link-exchanges-dont-work/

QuoteMatt Cutts (and common sense) said this: "the best links are earned and given by choice." Unless common sense is a totally worthless concept, what Matt said still holds true today, tomorrow, and always.- http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/seo-mistakes-link-exchange-emails/

Try to get as many different link types as possible. Here's a good lists:

Quote
    Editorial citations – getting mentioned within the context of an article from a blog or news website.
    Resource links – getting mentioned in a list of links pertaining to the topic or subject matter.
    Web directories – There are a ton of them, but for the most part, they can be split up into:
        General – directories listing websites from every corner of the Web.
        Niche – directories listing websites only on your topic matter; i.e. an environmental directory only listing environmentally friendly websites.
        Local – directories listing websites only in a certain geographical area.
    Blog comments – Leaving a comment with your name as the anchor text of what will most likely be a nofollow link.
    Forum discussions – Getting mentioned in a forum in the context of a discussion.
    Profile pages – Listing your website on your profile page if the website allows one.
    Web 2.0 + article directories – Getting a link in the context of an article or Web 2.0 property.
    Author Bios – getting a link in the bio you provide for a guest post or contribution.
    Image links – linking an image, possibly with a keyword rich ALT tag, instead of text.

About nofollow and dofollow: Mixed it up because Google wants natural links. If you only do dofollow links Google will think it is manipulated links but if you mix those two (dofollow and nofollow) Google will think you are building naturally.

I think in the seo process both no follow and do follow links matter
do follow count as back link to the site from search engine. It's important for site ranking to get quality back links.
no follow doesn't count as back link to the site from search engine but it can be helpful as an traffic generate source if it's come from high pr sites.

No follow links are not useless. They just don't flow page rank, one of MANY factors Google uses for ranking.A "do follow" link is simply any link that is not no follow. They do not use any special markup.

Dofollow is the effective link but you need to have Noffollow links too inorder to have a balance.

Please stop Blog commenting and link exchange as it can harm you ranking. And so some Guest Posting with do follow links only.

Obviously go with "dofollow" links but before getting links you should check PR, DA and OBL. OBL full stands for outbound link. You should get links below 30 obl and beware of link firming sites because Google may treat them as a spamming website and penalize you.

Yes, you said right. We must need to follow this strategy to save our website from Google's penguin panda update.

Focus on  "dofollow" backlinks to get high rank on Google and that's why you have to get more and more "do follow" links from top rank websites.

Dofollow and nofollow all is valuable for site. DoFollow link is simple one that a search engine see's and then follows to establish content relevance, while a nofollow link is ignored, but popular social networks – Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Myspace, and so on. While all of these networks are nofollow, they do provide a lot of other benefits, including making social connections and building an online presence and reputation.

Do follow is the most powerful way to influence search engines to redirect a lot of traffic to your site. Search engine crawlers crawl the whole content on your webpage including images, links, keywords etc.

No follow links can be relevant to your post's content and can come from the sources which have a potential to generate high referral traffic.

Hello,
Do follow : When Google bots are crawling a website they look for external links point to other websites.

No Follow : If a search engine finds a "no follow" backlink it will just ignore the link and will not get deeper into crawling and no link juice is passed.

Always make link exchange Do-Follow. If the link is not Do-Follow then link juice will not pass & Google will not be able to follow the destination path of the link.

Dofollow links are the only ones that matter. Nofollow links are essentially useless, as they don't pass any link equity. If you're wasting your time building nofollow links, you're just clogging up your link profile with irrelevant, non-impactful links. Focus on building high-quality dofollow links from authoritative sources, and forget about nofollow links altogether.
