Dofollow Link is a hyperlink that is able to tell search engines to pass along it's page rank influence to an outbound link.
Nofollow Link is exactly the opposite. It is a hyperlink that removes the ability to pass on it's page rank status to other sites.

I think Do follow link is a hyperlink that can crawled by search engines and which is helpful for increasing the page rank of site while No follow link is a hyperlink that cann't crawled by search engine. No follow link is only used for increasing the visiters.

Nofollow is a tag that simply tells search engines not to crawl, or notice, a link on a page.
Dofollow means this link haven't use nofollow tag. Links from DoFollow sites do get noticed by search engines, thus boosting their value

Do follow is used to make the link for search engines. And its really great to increase page rank as well.
No follow is used to make the link for general traffic and no search engine/bot will crawl those page.
So botgh should be use as required.

Dofollow Link is a hyperlink that is able to tell all search engines to pass along it’s page rank influence to an outbound link.If you will use or get do follow links then search engines will count your link in the eyes of google, yahoo, bing etc as backlink for your site and you can get some positive value for your site ranking.And other hand nofollow link is exactly the opposite. It is a hyperlink that removes the ability to pass on it’s page rank status to other sites.Nofollow links are for not crawling a link by search engine that influence the ranking of a particular website or blog in search engines.
