Does Yahoo Count Nofollow Backlinks?

Does anybody let me Know That Yahoo count Nofollow Links or Not For page rank?
also How to Check Yahoo PR?

 

I believe it does but I'm not too sure, hopefully someone with more knowledge about that then me will see this thread.

 

as far as i know yahoo does crawl nofollow links.... but it does not give any credit to the links in terms of search engine optimization and ranking.

 

Yeah I just read up on this recently, and that's what I found too - Yahoo will crawl nofollows and discover pages that are nofollowed, but will not pass link juice to those pages.

 

Yahoo does count every type of link including nofollow ones. They do not know "nofollow" attribute, sometimes they also count link from Spam post or javascript link toward each website as well.

 

Yahoo count nofollow but yahoo dont have PR system

 

Yes, but don`t use them in search algorithm..

 

yahoo count do follow as well as no follow
doesnt matter for yahoo whether it is do follow or no follow

 

Yes yahoo counts dofollow links.

 

yes yahoo counts the no follow back links.

 

yahoo count do follow as well as nofollow

 

Yes they do. Only google don't

 

yahoo count no follow links as well as do follow links
but generally yahoo prefer content links whether its do follow or no follow

 

Nofollow backlinks will be counted in all search engines, but they dont mind it for ranking you higher
So try to have backlinks from dofollow pages

 

Yes, they count nofollow.

 

Yeah its following no follow blogs and forums as well.

 

Google,Yahoo and Bing don't count nofollow links. So its better that you try to have backlinks from dofollow pages.

 

Now that's what I believe based on a bunch of stuff I've read and seen.

But why, then, do nofollow links show up in Google Webmaster Tools? Is that totally separate from the googlebots that crawl for serp purposes?

 

Google crawls whatever it can find, that is why links with nofollow show up in webmaster tools. Whether it "counts" a nofollow link, or passes juice is an open question. I rather think that is does, even though G claims that nofollow links do not pass PR. Just my experience. Yahoo does count nofollow links.

 

Thanks Dillon. Do you think G will use nofollow links for discovering content and adding to the search index (even though no link juice is passed -- meaning the discovered page might only rank for super long tail, totally unique queries). Hmm..this would be a fairly simple experiment to do if someone had the time and interest.
