    Do follow back links weigh more in the eyes of search engines especially Google.

    You need to have a good mix of both dofollow and nofollow links. You don't want just dofollow.

    Dofollow and nofollow - both type of links actually help, but in different way. But Do follow links are much better than no follow links although they hold some importance. A dofollow link means that search engines will follow that link and give you link juice. But a no follow link will not give you that advantage. But definitely a link on any other page whether it is do follow or no follow matter a lot. Because it increases your link popularity.

    Nofollow doesn't pass the PR juice and not being indexed but dofollow "do"

    Nofollow links are good for yahoo and bing. Nofollow links are good also for getting popularity for your site and trust ranking if they are placed in high authority websites, like twitter, facebook, stumbleupon, etc

    Nofollow gives no linkjuice attributed to the anchor link. Dofollow is the default setting, which does give linkjuice. From personal experience, I think Google is currently giving some credit to nofollow links. They cycle in between nofollow weights, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

    Nofollow are for not crawling a link by search engine. Dofollow allow search engine to crawl links. Nofollow tag we can use if we are using a link for reference not for crawl. Both are good for human traffic

    After google panda, dofollow links get any value to website ranking.
