Floyd, FYI, when did I contradict anything that you’ve tried to say?

Both of you are wrong..

A do-follow (rel=follow) links indicates that a certain link tells the search engine that the site vouch for this link. It is some sort of link a recommendation.

On the other hand, a Nofollow is method to annotate a link to tell search engines that “I can’t or don’t want to vouch for this link.”

Faraz and Dr. Nabeel, FYI both of these links will be crawled in the site whatever their attributes are. BTW, the links in your names have nofollow attribute, but it can still be crawled. :)

In reply to Faraz Ahmed.

yeah. It might not ask the bot to crawl the other site, but it sitll gives it a “Valid” backlink

NO Follow = telling bot if you are crawling my site do not follow (do not crawl) the link.

Do Follow = Telling bot that follow this link and crawl that page too.

But No Follow links helps to get traffic to your site and if links are posted on relevant blogs it also increases worth of your site / blog.
