Study both "Nofollow" and "Follow" backlinks.
Nofollow is a link attribute that tells search engines to ignore the link, or not "follow" it.
For example, you might link to a competitor because it's helpful to the reader. But you wouldn't want to imply any kind of endorsement.
"Follow" links (technically there is no "follow" attribute), on the other hand, are normal links without any attribute. They can be an endorsement and pass ranking credit.
Follow links are the type of backlinks you want if you're looking for SEO value.
Note
Nofollow links don't earn you any ranking credit, but they can still be valuable. They can provide brand recognition and referral traffic.
