Do Follow and No Follow Strategy

 Introduction of Do Follow and No Follow Link

To the average website user, do-follow and no-follow links look exactly the same. However, no-follow 

links include a small piece of code, called an attribute, that lets search engine bots know not to follow the 

link. According to Google, no-follow links don't pass any PageRank to the website being linked.



A no follow link is a link that does not count as a point in the page’s favor, does not boost PageRank, and doesn’t help a page’s placement in the SERPs. No follow links get no love. Theirs is a sad and lonely life.

A no follow link is created with the no-follow link HTML tag, which looks like this:
<a href=”http://www.website.com/” rel=”nofollow”>Link Text</a>
The no-follow tag is basically a notice sign for search engines saying “don’t count this.”
Isn’t that just mean and terrible? Why would anyone do such a thing? There’s a reason for the no-follow attribute, and boy is it a good one!

Do Follow

The term “dofollow link” is used to describe a link that passes the authority as opposed to one that doesn’t.



Technically, it is not a correct name because there is no such thing as rel=”dofollow” attribute. Some SEOs are quite strict about this.


No Follow

No-follow is a value that can be assigned to the rel attribute of an HTML a element to instruct some search engines that the hyperlink should not influence the ranking of the link's target in the search engine's index. It is intended to reduce the effectiveness of certain types of internet advertising because their search algorithm depends heavily on the number of links to a website when determining which websites should be listed in what order in their search results for any given term.



A no-follow link is a link that contains a rel=”nofollow” attribute in its HTML code. This attribute tells search engines not to pass authority from the linking page to the destination page. As such, no-follow links have very little value from the SEO point of view.

The no-follow attribute was introduced in 2005 by Google, Yahoo and MSN in order to fight the comment spam by giving webmasters the option to devalue certain links.



On Page and Off Page Strategy

Introduction to  On Page and Off Page

On-page SEO is everything that you can directly control on your website, including content, title tags, 

keyword usage, SEO-optimized URLs, internal links and image alt text. Off-page SEO are actions that 

happen away from your website, like links and mentions on other websites.

On Page
On-page SEO involves all the on-site techniques you can employ to ensure a webpage will rank on a SERP, and it can also help determine how well that page ranks. It uses both content and technical elements to improve the quality of a page, so the more on-page SEO you do, the more traffic you'll get to a website and the more relevant that traffic will be.

There are many different technical aspects of a webpage that can be optimized with on-page SEO, and they include:

Title tags
Headings
URL structure
Alt text for images
Site speed
Internal links
Meta descriptions
Responsiveness



On-Page SEO and the Impact of Content
While the technical aspects are important, one of the most crucial elements of on-page SEO is content because this is what brings traffic to your site.
However, not just any content will do, and today’s web users are looking for relevant, interesting, engaging, and informative content that fills a need. In other words, people must want to consume the content you’ve created, which can come in a number of different forms, such as:  

Blogs
Web page copy
Videos
Infographics
Podcasts
Whitepapers
eBooks
Interviews
Case studies
Original research
Reviews
Instructional articles
Quizzes and poles
However, another important element about the content you create is that others must be able to link to it, which means avoiding content that requires a login, copyrighted material, and certain slide shows.


Off Page

Off-page SEO includes activities done off of a website in an effort to increase the site’s search engine rankings. Common off-page SEO actions include building backlinks, encouraging branded searches, and increasing engagement and shares on social media.
In other words: off-page SEO is all the stuff that you do off of your site to get Google and other search engines to see your website as trustworthy and authoritative.



Though many people associate off-page SEO with link building, it goes beyond that. Many activities that don’t result in a standard link on other sites are important for off-page optimization.


On-page search engine optimization happens within the site, while off-page SEO happens outside the site. If you write a guest post for another blog or leave a comment, you’re doing off-page site promotion.
