Link Directories are the website where links to websites are submitted. You can build backlinks to your website on link directories. However,  are these backlinks dofollow?

If you are paying a link directory to add links to your website to help your ranking they must add dofollow links. They can't have you pay for a nofollow link on your site. There are many sites that use nofollow links if they are linking to a spam site or other type of site like this. It is a very good idea to read all the rules that Google has in place about links and how they count for your site. The article is very long and in one area it does have a detailed explanation about links. They are saying now that backlinks to a site aren't as important as before. I do believe this is because people can pay for backlinks to their site. They are looking for relevant links that add quality to your website and not links from a link farm or a backlinking website. It is best to spend your time, build relations with other bloggers in your niche and share links like this. I know it is harder to do and takes a lot of time. but in the end, this is one of the best ways to get ranked higher in Google and other search engines.

So backlinks are not as useful as they used to be in the past when it comes to getting ranked on the search engines? If that is the case, what about Domain Authority? Is Domain Authority that primarily builds through backlinks still valued?

The answer is yes and no. Some link directories provide dofollow backlinks, while others provide nofollow backlinks. You should always check with the link directory before submitting a link to make sure what type of backlink you will be getting.

Some people might follow their websites with their link directories, while others might go one further and include their website in a link directory. For this particular question, the person included their website in a link directory, but it is still possible to go back and follow their websites backlinks using link directories.

Not all link directories provide dofollow backlinks. Dofollow backlinks are the type of backlinks that pass link juice and authority to the linkedwebsite, which generally helps to improve its search engine rankings. Some link directories provide nofollow backlinks, which do not pass link juice and do not contribute to improving search engine rankings.
