<a href=”https://www.homieshacks.com/”>Homies Hacks</a>
Also, as you can see above, even if you do not mention any of these HTML dofollow or nofollow attributes, then also by default your link is considered as a dofollow link and search engines will automatically follow every default/dofollow link that is embedded in an article or web page.
Some Of The Benefits Of dofollow Links

<a href=”https://www.homieshacks.com/” rel=”nofollow”>Homies Hacks</a>
While the user would still be able to click on the nofollow link to navigate to the linked page, it will however instruct Google and other search engine robots not to crawl or record the listed linked page.
While the lack of nofollow doesn't play much of a role in SEO optimization, it is also necessary to note that if there is a presence of many dofollow links that are not from trusted sources, then this can also negatively impact the reputation of your website.
But then blogs with even the nofollow attribute can also contribute to improving your website ranking in a way, because the nofollow attribute link will still be in the search engine index even though it will not be crawled, however some interested visitors will follow the link you provide, which comes under the natural backlink category.
Usually, both the dofollow and nofollow types of links are used when creating content that aims to improve SEO and make website navigation easier.
Backlinks are definetly one of the best ways that can strengthen the SEO value of your website page, however its a good practice to make sure that the links are from trusted source and that there is a sufficient ratio maintained between the two. Backlinks allow the destination blog to be frequently crawled by search engines and familiar with the Google search database.
