How do I set a link as a "do follow"?
-
I have a page from a state agency linking to my website. They have good PA and DA. How do I tell google to "do follow"? It is already showing up as linked to my site, I just want to make sure I'm getting the SEO juice!

Great question: a business does need a mixture of quality do follow and also no follow backlinks.
In order to build quality white hat backlinks, we would recommend hiring an agency to do this work, as it requires an SEO consultant who is highly knowledgeable at building quality links which will help to improve a companies organic SEO.
Our business sells garden bars, and by having a mixture of white hat do-follow and no-follow back links we have helped our company onto the first page of Google in the U.K

@victor-celer said in How do I set a link as a "do follow"?:
<a <strong="">rel="nofollow" href="https://www.mywebsite.com">Visit my website!</a>
Does that work in Forumns lik MOZ?
<a <strong="">rel="follow" href="https://www.myfloridasolar.com">Visit my website!</a>

Thank you for clarifying!

You need to check the HTML code of the link. If it doesn't explicitly say nofollow in the rel tag then it is a dofollow link.
For example, this a nofollow link:
<a <strong="">rel="nofollow" href="https://www.mywebsite.com">Visit my website!</a>
If we remove the nofollow property the link becomes dofollow:

When conducting a link building strategy does it matter the country the link is from?
We are a UK business and if we have links mostly from US based blogs and websites does this penalise us. The links are from relevant websites and topics. Should we be focusing on .co.uk sites

My site is linked from over 900 "The Globe"-domains - disavow or not?

www.internet-search.us I've now discovered that over 900 of these spam-domains link to my site. My plan was of course to disavow them all, but Google is explicit on telling me to be careful. «Only disavow if you are certain that the links are damaging to your rankings». And to be honest, I'm not sure. Also: it seems drastic to disavow almost a thousand pages. I'm afraid to mess something up. What would you do?3 -
