Dofollow links:
By default, all links added to a blog post are dofollow and pass links.
Nofollow link:
If a website links directly to another website but has a nofollow tag, it does not transmit the link juice. Links with a nofollow tag are not helpful in page ranking because they don’t contribute anything. A webmaster will typically use a nofollow tag to link to trusted sites.
Low-quality links:
These are links that come from hacked sites, automated sites, or spam sites.
These links can do more harm than good. You should be cautious when purchasing backlinks.
Internal links:
These are links that link from one page to the next on your website. This is known as an internal linking and Google likes these as it says that you are trying to be extra helpful.
Backlinks are an SEO advantage:
Before we get into the benefits of backlinks, you should know that the topic has changed significantly in recent years.
In the past, low-quality links were also helpful in ranking sites. Google’s Penguin algorithm has made the backlinking landscape a lot more complex.
Backlinks to quality sites are essential, but they must also be relevant. These links won’t be helpful if you have a site about fish and link to sites about monkeys. You should aim to gain links from related and official sites.
Let’s look at the reasons why you should build backlinks to your website:
Thank you for this info. I would like to ask you two questions If I link to a website, but it is not affiliate link, shall I use no-follow or not? In one if the trainings here it said yes. And the affiliate links should be no- follow or sponsored?
My second question. When I look at my website in google, uber suggest tells me I have 23 backlinks. However, when I check them, most of them look the same or similar by name (yamen women) and if I want to open the site, it says the site cant be reached. Would you know what it is and why there are those backlinks?
Thank you
Regards

If you put in a link to another website (not an affiliate) it will be considered as a backlink from your website to theirs. I do this all the time to authority websites and it's getting me some great backlinks when they reciprocate. I usually put a link in to their similar post to mine, so I don't make it a no-follow so that people can go and read their post.
Your affiliate links should be sponsored, although I often just click on open in a new page, it's up to you.
It is concerning that you can't reach that backlink. Are they connected to the type of niche that you have? It looks like Yemen women are about women's rights. If you can't see them doing your website image harm I wouldn't worry about these backlinks for now. You can always remove them later.
Have a great week Nat.
