      Hi all,

      When we should add followed links and when no followed? How this will affect to our site? Should all our links to other sites be no followed? Which sites we should give value?

      Thank you for your time

        Its so simple. When you are working with dofollow link, its bypassing link juice. I mean search engine is following your link. When you are working with Nofollow link, Thats mean search engine is not following your link. Read about "Link Juice" . That topic clear you, which system you will follow. 🙂

          As a rule of thumb - if the links add value for the visitor of your site, make it a "Follow" link.

          If it is a commercial link, or a link to a site with low quality, it needs to be nofollow. Check also https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/96569?hl=en
