    Dofollow link is a way to tell the search engines that you trust the linked website. It is a stamp of reference from your website and is taken positively by search engines to rank the other website.
    Nofollow links are those where you are linking to a website you don't trust 100% and want to tell search engines that "Geez... you know, I might have linked to that website but I don't exactly trust it.". However, being a software developer myself, I am willing to take a bet that Google engineers will consider a website to be good when it has a balanced number of nofollow and dofollow links and not only a certain type of links which might actually go against Google Webmaster guideliens.

    Dofollow links allow google to follow them and reach our website. Giving us link juice and a backlink. On another side, Nofollow links attributes do not allow search engine bots to follow link.That means if the website owner is linking back to you with nofollow attributes, it does not pass on link juice. Only Humans will be able to follow the links.
    Google has also said that they will still count the nofollow link as an outgoing link in terms of the distribution of page rank from your page.

    Dofollow is simply the default state for a link, any link without the nofollow attribute is a dofollow link.
    When another website links to yours with a standard link, it can directly affect search engine rankings.

    However, nofollow links include a small piece of code, called an attribute, that lets search engine bots know not to follow the link and not to pass any link equity. It looks like this: rel="nofollow".

    Dofollow links are those links which contain Rel=" Dofollow" attribute. These are more important than Nofollow links because they assist us in improving the online page ranking of your website in any program .

    Nofollow is usually not considered as an honest practice, but you'll use it for those sites which you are doing not want to urge counted or get indexed by the crawler. you'll see these Nofollow links but they are doing not assist you in improving the ranking or page count of your website.

    Dofollow is just the default state for a link. Said differently, any link without the nofollow attribute may be a do follow the link. When another website links to yours with a typical (aka dofollow) link, it can directly affect program rankings.

    The difference between a Dofollow and a Nofollow link is that a Dofollow link passes PageRank signals (some refer to this as SEO or link juice), and a Nofollow link doesn't," said Paul Ronto, CMO of RunRepeat. In other words, the distinction lies in how the Google algorithm treats each link.
