Hi martinharry339 and Welcome to WebmasterWorld [webmasterworld.com]

Have you signed up for an account at Google's GSC (Search Console)? That can help you see how Google sees your efforts and can help you see where you need to work on things.

Regarding Link Building efforts, that depends on how you are building links. Do you contact relevant sites and let them know why they should link to your site? I just ask because there is a lot of misunderstanding about how to build links effectively. The links will not be indexed, your website's pages are indexed and these are things you can find with a GSC account.

When did you first start this website? If it is new, that can mean a delay before showing up in the index also.

Its new and I just started link build about 2 weeks, One friend of mine told me that there could be a programming mistake with my website, Is that right programming matters in SEO

[not2easy]

Programming errors covers a lot of possibilities. Browsers are very forgiving and will try to guess when things are not all as they should be. It depends on what you mean by programming errors. If you want a baseline to point out errors, one that is accurate and free, try validating your html and css code:
HTML Validator: [validator.w3.org...]
CSS Validator: [jigsaw.w3.org...]

That can tell you what might need attention.

Nofollow means google will not follow the link, that's why.

and how i can get follow links can you help me with some tips.

Change nofollow to either follow, or remove nofollow instruction entirely.

May be you are wondering why, links you are posting at other sites, are tagged with a nofollow attribute?

[lucy24]

Now, wait. "Follow" vs. "nofollow" should make absolutely no difference to indexing ... unless those nofollow links are the only way a search engine can find those pages. (And even then, "nofollow" doesn’t mean “pretend you haven’t seen this link”; it just means “don’t tell them I sent you”.) Unless you've got an absolutely vast site, everything on it should be indexed within a few weeks, assuming the search engine can find all pages.

How do you know your pages aren't indexed? Did you do some exact-text searches?

That's indexed in the raw sense: this material exists somewhere in G’s multi-billion-page index. If you mean "ranked", that's a whole nother question.

welcome to WebmasterWorld, martinharry339!

and how i can get follow links can you help me with some tips.

your primary "follow" links should be in your internal navigation.
that should provide the path to discovery.
check your web server access logs to see if your urls have been requested by googlebot and then use GSC to examine the status of specific urls that have been discovered and crawled by googlebot.
