The basics

What Are Dofollow and Nofollow Links?

Every backlink on the web carries an attribute that helps search engines understand how it should be treated. The two most common types are dofollow and nofollow links. Understanding the difference is essential for link building, backlink analysis, and SEO.

Dofollow Links

Dofollow links are standard hyperlinks that allow search engines to follow the link and pass authority from one page to another. Because they can transfer ranking signals, dofollow backlinks are generally the most valuable type of backlink in SEO and are often the primary focus of link-building campaigns.

Nofollow Links

Nofollow links contain the rel=”nofollow” attribute, which tells search engines that the linking page is not explicitly endorsing the destination page. While nofollow links typically do not pass authority in the same way as dofollow links, they can still drive referral traffic, increase brand visibility, and contribute to a natural backlink profile.

Why Auditing Your Dofollow and Nofollow
Links Is a Core SEO Practice

A page’s link profile is one of the most information-dense signals available in any technical SEO audit.
Understanding what the dofollow/nofollow backlinks checker returns and how to act on it is what separates a surface-level review from a thorough one.

Link Equity & PageRank Flow

Identifying dofollow and nofollow links helps ensure PageRank flows to the pages that matter most.

Backlink profile naturalness

A healthy mix of dofollow and nofollow backlinks creates a more natural and credible link profile.

Paid link compliance

Auditing link attributes helps verify that sponsored and paid links follow Google's guidelines.

Competitor link analysis

Checking competitor pages can reveal valuable insights into their internal and external linking strategies.

Common Questions About the Dofollow Nofollow Backlinks Checker

Have questions about how SEO works or what to expect from Regal SEO? You’re not alone. Here we’ve compiled the most common queries from business owners like you. 

Does this tool check backlinks pointing to my site?
No, the dofollow nofollow backlinks checker scans links that exist on the page you enter, not backlinks pointing to that page from other sites. To audit inbound backlinks, you would need a dedicated backlink analysis tool.
A dash indicates the link has no visible anchor text, as is common with image links (where the alt text may also be absent), empty anchor tags, or icon-only buttons. These are worth reviewing, as missing anchor text reduces a link’s descriptiveness for both users and crawlers.
Yes. The dofollow/nofollow backlinks checker works with any publicly accessible URL. Enter a competitor’s page to see their full outbound link profile, follow attributes, and external domain relationships.
No. Every scan runs in real time, and nothing is saved on our end. There’s no account, no search history, and no data retained after you close the page.
No. Regal SEO’s dofollow nofollow backlinks checker is free to use with no daily limits, no credit system, and no premium tier required for full access.
