Is there any method available which can get us a dofollow backlink from facebook? It is a huge source of traffic but can we turn it into a source of getting page rank for our site? Dofollow backlink from page rank 9 website can really help our site to get high PR.

A short update anchored to the replies from , , , , , and : their instinct — that you should not expect a straightforward, editorial dofollow PageRank gift coming from Facebook posts or profile links — is the practical starting point. The landscape has changed since 2014, though, so here are the important nuances and what to do instead.

Google formally changed how it treats rel attributes in 2019 (rel="nofollow", rel="ugc", rel="sponsored"): those attributes are now treated as hints rather than absolute blocks, but they are not a reliable mechanism to convert social-post links into guaranteed PageRank transfers. See Google’s announcement for details. (developers.google.com)

In real-world HTML you can also see Facebook wrapping outbound links in redirect URLs (for example l.facebook.com) and qualifying them; crawlers and site-inspectors often find rel="nofollow" on those external links. That means you cannot count on Facebook posts to behave like editorial links on a publisher site — Google’s public guidance and follow-up reporting make clear nofollow-type links do not reliably pass PageRank. (findmybug.com)

Practical tactics that work instead of chasing a “dofollow Facebook” trick:

  • Build linkable assets (data, original research, tools, long-form guides), then use Facebook posts, pages and groups to amplify them so journalists, bloggers and niche sites discover and editorially link to you.
  • Use Facebook to drive qualified referral traffic, which increases the chance of organic citations and coverage that do give dofollow links.
  • Monitor referral spikes in Analytics and new backlinks in Google Search Console; when a journalist or blogger discovers your content via social, follow up with a concise outreach note.
    Remember platforms change (Twitter removed site-wide nofollow in 2022), so platform behavior can vary over time — the durable strategy is to earn editorial links off the back of social-driven attention, not rely on social links as direct SEO currency. (searchengineland.com)

Bottom line: do not waste time on hacks to force a dofollow from Facebook; use Facebook to amplify content and earn genuine editorial links from publishers that will move SEO needles.

it's difficult to get a dofollow backlink from facebook as all the pages links will be given nofollow, also the page rank of home page only is 9, all other pages will have less rankings like 0

I dont thinks its possible to get a dofollow backlink from facebook or from other social media sites since it would result in spamming .In order to avoid the spamming of links, fb and other social media sites have opted for nofollow links.

Nope there isn't any method that can get you dofollow backlink from facebook, think it like this if there's any trick of doing so, they may have 1 or most probably zero page rank.
