    I guess that no follow links are something which is tracked by Yahoo, but ignored by Google. But in fact this is also not true as Google counts no follow links in Webmaster Tool, while many people also claims that after few months Google too give value to the no follow links.

    NoFollow links are also counted by the Google. Google knows that Natural Link Building can't be with the DoFollow links only.

    In terms of SEO according to Google they do not help in improving SERP, but they do help in getting direct traffic from that source.

    The nofollow tag is relevant to google only and still provides direct traffic so they should not be ignored.

    The nofollow links won’t get any credit when we rank websites in our search results. This isn’t a negative vote.

    When we work for any website, it is quite general that we get more than 80 percent backlinks which is no follow. I just wanted to know that the 80 percent of my work will make any impact for Google or not?

    Yea there is some value in no follow links just not as much as do follow
    but it'll look more natural to google as opposed to you having 100% do follow links

    As far as Google is concern no follow links are nothing but talking about Yahoo, Bing and other search engines it is beneficial since they are also credited as backlinks.

    You can add a link for the site's internal nofollow, so your homepage's PR values ​​are not transmitted to it.

    The main advantage of no follow attribute is to prevent the page rank being distributed throughout the site. The no follow links can used where the search engine found no information such as the registration, login, print pages.

    My personal knowledge has always been that Yahoo gives more credit than Google when it comes to nofollow links. Although I personally cannot say Google gives no credit at all, I would say it is very minimal if at most. But, nofollow links will get you some credit in yahoo/bing

    Too much percentage of do-follow-links could be suspicious to Google. You need some no-follows also.

    Having no-follow link is beneficial but to get backlink from no-follow is quite hard work then do-follow.

    I agree that each and every kind of link is good for SEO. This makes your link building efforts look natural for Google and other SE. Am I right?

    Do follow link give you benefit but No follow not gives you benefit with your website so whenever you work in Link building so first prefer Do-follow link.
