A backlink that carries the “nofollow” HTML tag. This indicates to search engines that should not count as a vote of quality for that site.
Some sites, particularly those with user-generated content, will mark all of their backlinks as nofollow, to avoid abuse of their content systems to generate backlink SEO value for third-party websites.
