Questions about Stack Overflow
Are Stack Overflow links dofollow?
No. Stack Overflow marks its links rel="nofollow", so they pass little ranking value. They still bring visitors and help show your business is real.
Is Stack Overflow free?
Yes. Listing on Stack Overflow is free.
How much work does a listing on Stack Overflow take?
An article, a launch or a review: plan for an afternoon or more. How long approval takes is up to Stack Overflow: many sites review a listing before it goes live.
Plan it, then tick it off.
