Acceptable Ratio of Dofollow to nofollow Links
When it comes to the ratio of links or which should dominate, there is no specific answer. But it is of higher advantage to have more of dofollow links. That is, do-follow links should dominate nofollow links as a rule.
Most importantly, you should earn quality links from different domains that are authoritative and relevant to your content.
Are Nofollow links Harmful to your website?
Nofollow links are not harmful to your website when you earn them without spamming. Your primary objective should be making links from quality and authority websites and monitor your websites to see if spammy websites are used to link to your content.

I'm confused. I was under the impression that the no follow link was to be used to an external website and links such as Amazon, and the follow link to my internal website.

Yes Yvonne,
You are right, Webmasters from Big websites use the nofollow link to refer to smaller websites.
The use it to say "although I am linking to this website, but it is not an authority"
I hope you got the gist

If we did not tick the 'no follow' box for the affiliate links in our post, it is still ok right, Ayodeji?

Hi Jim,
Thank you for taking out time to see the training.
To stop search engine from seeing your pages you use a noidex meta tag or a robot.txt file on the page. See this from Google
https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/crawling/block-indexing
But the no follow instruction is just an added instruction webmasters include in a link to show that although they are linking to your websites but search engines should not see it as an authority.
An example of a tool that can help you check you no follow and dofollow backlink is the ahref backlink checker. You can check the backlink profile of your website for free. See below
