How does digital PR impact SEO?

Digital PR can significantly boost SEO through backlinks from reputable sites, improving your site's authority and search engine ranking.

What do you mean by do-follow backlinks?

These are links from one website to another that allow search engines to follow them and reach your website. Do-follow backlinks contribute to your site's SEO by passing on "link equity" or "link juice," which can improve your site's ranking on search engine results pages (SERPs). They are the default type of backlink and do not require any special attributes to be set.

What do you mean by no-follow backlinks?

No-follow backlinks include a special HTML attribute (rel="nofollow") that tells search engines not to follow the link to its destination. These links do not directly influence the search engine rankings of the destination URL because they do not pass on link equity. No-follow links are typically used for links in comments, forums, or other places where links can be added by users to prevent spam and manipulation of search rankings. However, they can still drive traffic to your site and be beneficial for branding and referral traffic purposes.
