When we link to a website with a different theme to ours

What are “nofollow” links and when should we use them?
A “no-follow” link looks like a normal link to a user, but it is not. I will explain the differences with the link without this attribute, and especially when it is convenient to use it:
When we add this attribute to a link we are telling Google that we do not want to pass Page Rank to the destination link, so it should not help the destination URL to rank better.
When should we use the “nofollow” attribute:
Blog Comments.
Guest post signatures.
When we link friendly websites from the footer, what is known as Blogroll .
When we distrust the SEO practices that the website to be added is using.
Internal links that we do not want to lose Page Rank, such as the sections about me, contact, etc.
Good and Bad Links
If we are going to get started in the world of Link Building, one of the first things we must learn is that the theory that all links are good is not true, as is evident from the arrival of negative or toxic links to the Google algorithm. I will try to explain it in a very simple way so that you are able to identify one type of link from another.
Good Links
good links
Good links are those that are obtained naturally without us participating at any time in this process.
That's in theory, but in practice you can get good links through different mechanisms such as guest posting and link exchange, among others.
Bad or Toxic Links
bad links
They are negative links or those that we create ourselves have the risk of being negative. I will briefly review some of these links that we must be careful with their current application because we can be penalized:
Comments on blogs and forums.
Guest Post with the keyword list of dubai consumer email anchor text.
Article directories.
Guest post signature.
Footer or Blogroll.
User profile pages.
Guestbooks.
Links from sites with different themes or languages.
Guest posts with low-quality content.
Those coming from penalized sites.
Those coming from low authority sites.
Purchasing links or suspiciously artificial links.
How to detect negative links
And something that could not be missing from this guide for beginners is learning how to use tools that can tell you when you have negative links pointing to your website.
