Trying hard

Hi there Follow backlinks are links that pass equity to your website. Nofollow backlinks do not, although sometimes search engines ignore this, although rarely. Here's what I would review if I were you: Learn SEO (Moz - your website needs a lot of work) Learn Academy (Moz) Follow Links Vs. No Follow Links: Should You Care? (Wordstream) Beginner's Guide to Link Building (Moz) The Hidden Power of Nofollow Links (Moz) How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Nofollow (Moz) One thing I will say - do NOT ignore getting links because they are nofollow. I really want you to know that. Reason being, a "good" link comes in many forms - one of those forms might potentially be "nofollow". I highly suggest reading this post from Rand Fishkin regarding link building, a lot of it still stands. I added some of my thoughts on this subject in another question and answer on this forum, please read. Again, as your site needs a lot of work, I would heavily focus on your design (especially responsive), your architecture & internal linking, and looking at your analytics / Webmaster Tools to learn what is bringing users to your site, so you can have a guided strategy. Now, there is a LOT here. You have a lot to catch up on - that's totally fine! But please, read everything here, learn as much as you can, and don't be completely set on only doing link building out of the gate. Let me know if this all helps! Take your time, have fun, and good luck!
