    First you must understand there is no such thing as a dofollow link. In absense of the use of "nofollow", it is then a followed link. For reference to nofollow and any other question you may have, try using the "search" function on this site - it can give you the information you may be looking for and avoid having to ask questions that have been discussed and answered more than a few times. Try this link to answer your question. Or try this one also. I'm sure if you search on your own, if these two thread links don't help, there are many others that will help.

    Did they actually call them "dofollow links"??

    I call them "DoFollow" links because it's easier to say "DoFollow" link instead of saying, "Links that don't have the rel="NoFollow" tag."

    Point taken. You could try calling them "followed links".

    Google "DoFollow" and you'll see nearly 15,000,000 mentions. I guess a lot of people are calling it that now. A piece of software we use to help us find links for our clients also says "DoFollow" in it as well.

    Cheers.

    I can imagine. There was a thread here in WPW a while back titled "Silly Stupid SEO" referring to an article by Jill Whalen (spelling?). A lot of the propagation, such as the incorrect use of a made-up terms like "dofollow links" can be attributed to people mentioned in that article.

    The problem began with those who actually believe that "nofollow" had its "dofollow" counterpart, and were/are still actually using it in links!

    From there, as usual, the myth was repeated countless times, so that there are now very many who believe in the existence of "dofollow."

    As LD noted, the proper description should be followed.
