Is rel dofollow more important than meta nofollow?

Basically, I have a site where I cannot delete

<meta name="robots" content="index, nofollow" />

but I need a list of links to be made. If I write rel="dofollow" on each of these href , will they prevail over the meta tags and actually become dofollow or will they remain nofollow ?

As far as I know, there is no such thing as rel="follow" or rel="dofollow" , so adding to links will not work. He always suggested that links should be followed, unless otherwise indicated, and not vice versa.

EDIT : This post from Matt Cutts confirms that "nofollow" always takes precedence.

Using robots.txt will not work, because it only indicates which pages should be indexed or not. Nofollow, on the other hand, instructs to either ignore the link (if it is attached to the link) or all links on the page (if they are used in a meta tag similar to this question). Nofollowed pages can and will be indexed.

Unfortunately, the only route available to you is to fix a broken system that first adds meta nofollow.

no

not

simply no

rel = dofollow

or

rel = follow

dofollow is an idiom for "not nofollow", but not the value of the rel-attribute.

You can use robots.txt to determine which directories robots cannot resolve. For more information, please check http://www.javascriptkit.com/howto/robots.shtml

Hope this is what you were looking for.
