But no one loves to amaze because he is poor and can’t return any favor whereas, people are mad behind April because she belongs to a rich family and returns favors with big gifts.

No-follow links are nothing but hyperlinks with a no-follow tag so that, search bots don’t acknowledge them. Here’s an example –

<a href=”https://www.website.com/” rel=”nofollow”>Link Text</a>

These links have no impact on your search engine results or ranking. And, if we talk in the Google context then you will be surprised to know that Google actually likes nofollow tags because they help in eliminating unreliable content, public forums, comment sections and everywhere else which is prone to spam.
