Nofollow links do not transfer any link juice, but if they originate from reputable and authoritative real websites, they can still contribute to increased traffic, enhanced brand visibility, and serve as a valuable element of diversification.

Incorporating a combination of nofollow and dofollow backlinks into your backlink portfolio helps diversify it. This approach prevents potential penalties from using excessive dofollow links on spammy websites with high spam scores.

Furthermore, having nofollow backlinks from authoritative websites such as Wikipedia, Fox, and others increases the likelihood of receiving traffic from these sources. By implementing proper interlinking with those articles, you can redirect traffic to other pages of your website.

These nofollow links are valuable for diversifying your backlink profile. If your backlinks consist solely of dofollow links, it may appear spammy to Google. Therefore, incorporating a mix of nofollow and dofollow links is important for maintaining a natural and balanced link profile.
