Dofollow / Nofollow

Every link is either dofollow or nofollow. A dofollow link passes 'link equity' — it counts as a vote that can lift your rankings and authority. A nofollow link carries a tag telling search engines not to pass that value, so it helps mainly with visibility and referral traffic rather than SEO strength.

For Get Mentioned, dofollow placements are usually more valuable, but a mix is natural — an all-dofollow profile can itself look unnatural.
