    A no follow is a link that passes no page rank to the outgoing website. Therefore other then giving visitors to the site a outgoing link, google probably wont use this to help index your site.

    nofollow links do show up in webmaster tools as back links, but I believe google does not use them when calculating page rank / search engine position.

    I am newbie but i think we can still get backlink from nofollow link, but not counted by google when updating pagerank.

    I have read a good article from a SEO Expert. He said that DO Follow and No Follow weights the same on google. He also said the a BACKLINK is A BACKLINK no matter its a DO or NO ^_^

    I checked your links on the referral site some where its dofollow and some where it nofollow.
    see:
    <BR><A class=text title="Artificial Plant" href="http://www.bloomingartificial.com/template/default.aspx">Blooming Artificial</A><BR> means that you have dofollow link.

    Nofollow link is useless for any website users because it does not count as backlinks by Google crawler....So try to get dofollow link for your website....

    Nofollow definately doesnt add weight to a sight. However Google still crawls pages with a nofollow attribute.

    As the guy said before, you can see it in google webmaster so it is counted, just brings no PR.

    yes they count, just no PR and it's debatable as to how much impact the have on the serps in comparison to dofollow, on the other hand natural footprints are important and so, don't get hung up on no and do follow.

    No-follow links are irrelevant for search engines (says Matt Cutts, who works for the Search Quality group in Google)
