How can you tell if a backlink is dofollow or nofollow?

You can tell if a backlink is dofollow or nofollow by examining the HTML code of the link.

In HTML, a dofollow link looks like this:
```bash
Link text
```
A nofollow link, on the other hand, includes the `rel="nofollow"` attribute, like this:
```bash
<a href="https://www.example.com" rel="nofollow">Link text</a>
```
The `rel="nofollow"` attribute tells search engines not to follow the link or pass any link equity to the linked page.

You can also use browser extensions or SEO tools to quickly identify whether a backlink is dofollow or nofollow. For example, the Moz Bar browser extension can display the link status (dofollow or nofollow) for any link on a webpage.

It's important to note that while dofollow links are generally more valuable for SEO because they pass link equity, nofollow links can still provide value by driving traffic and brand awareness. Additionally, search engines may still follow nofollow links and use them as a factor in their ranking algorithms, so it's important to focus on building high-quality backlinks from a variety of sources, rather than just chasing dofollow links.
