    A nofollow link is a link that is included on a webpage using standard html markup but includes an attribute to prevent passing link juice or reputation to the destination page. This type of link does not improve the link target search engine ranking.

    I agree with this. Links should be diverse. Google appreciates that. You should have not only dofollow links, but nofollow ones also.

    No follow link sites have 'No follow attribute' in source code and prevent to pass the link juice. But No follow links are still useful for SEO with having less authority than Do follow links.

    No follow link is an attribute which is in source code and prevents passage of link juice.

    Nofollow link is still useful in SEO. It gives a referral traffic to your site. Nofollow links are not indexed by Google bot but it's visible to the human.

    I will not bother of building nofollow link unless it able to help me bring lot of traffic.
    Dofollow link forum and blog would be less for now while everyone afraid of their site being influence by those link build in their comment.

    Google bot stops crawling the link when it is supposed to be no-follow. Though it stops, it doesn't have any impact with search engine rankings (In some cases, it is considered as a negative aspect).
    Instead, we can try to build do-follow links, as this strives to build quality back links in an effective way.

    I agree with you, nofollow links can bring to me the higher traffic so may be it lead to higher PR.
    Nofollow links are still be counted as backlinks for one website, so don't neglect nofollow backlinks

    Google will treat a nofollow link positively if it comes from a highly respected source. Wikipedia or the Wall Street Journal are classic examples.

    No Follow - Search engines only count do-follow links. If any link that is with no-follow attribute, its clear massage telling search engines to ignore it. No-follow links can often be highly context-relevant, and come from sources that are likely to generate greater levels of referral traffic.

    Yes. But while building links naturally it will be good to have some no follow links so that it will look natural to search engines.

    We agree that we should have nofollow links while building links but how many nofollow links is suitable compare to dofollow links?

    So does that mean nofollow links have zero influence in SEO?

    Google is not taking no-follow links but these links help us for the traffic.
