Google Count “nofollow” links to as inlinks for the Website.

Recently, I have absorbed Google counts “nofollow” links to as inlinks for the website.
I have analyzed “Link to your site” report in Google webmaster Tool and found there are some nofollow links. It means nofollow links give some benefits.

Please share your thoughts …….

Thanks.

 

Technically No follow links are not visible to any search engine . Look like nofollow Website have recently moved to dofollow

 

I don't think this is entirely correct.
Consider links from Youtube. Despite being nofollows, they are still logged in your Webmaster's account.

 

Yeah, and the US government isn't spying on us.

 

I have read an article from Google webmaster help center

https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/96569?hl=en

But if I see inlinks report in Google webmaster, so why Google consider nofollow links

 

may be a bug ?

 

@24wallpapers you mean.. Google webmaster has bug??

 

Interesting. I just hope it'll be a plus, because it may be easy to get those links. But what is the long term effect?

 

nofollow links are still links, they just don't pass PR.

 

I agree with Praetserge,
Just links, but good for ranking

 

Just because they report them in the GWT does not mean that they carry any link juice. Its not a bug.

 

Exactly

 

Really? Just because Google displays the links in Webmaster Tools, does not mean that they are passing any benefit or link juice.

 

Confused!!!!!! it's good or bad

 

In short, they are good. Not as good as the classic followed links, but still, they are good.

 

Not true. Nofollow links are visible to search engines.

Yes, nofollow links give the benefits. For Example: Google loves social signals and most of them are nofollow links from facebook, twitter and other social networks. Second benefit is that your site looks more natural in terms of a backlinks.

 

Nothing can be said about Google's algorithm how it treats nofollow links but you need to use nofollow links too as it makes your link profile natural.

 

Look at this way: Are you only concerned about page rank? about Google? Or in fact are you concerned about Google precisely because you want site visitors? Surely the latter. So having nofollow links is beneficial, as it gives more people opportunity to find you. And the more people find you, the more that process feeds on itself, and somebody somewhere with some sort of rank is going to link you. So indirectly, even nofollow links can have indirect effect on rep.

But the caveat at is that that won't happen if your links are just part of crap posts that spam and offend people. In that case, it's worse than nothing.

 

yes, nofollow links are working and Google consider these links. So also we can use nofollow links in the SEO campaign.

 

Dofollow links are hyperlinks that tell the search engines to pass along their page rank to influence on outbound links. This factor affects a lot for SEO purpose. If you get more dofollow links, then search engines will decipher your links as backlinks and you have more chances to receive positive values for your site’s ranking.
Nofollow links are exactly the opposite. These hyperlinks don’t have the ability to pass on a page rank status to other websites. Nofollow links don’t consider as crawling links from search engines and so the link associated with Nofollow websites won’t crawl by search engines.
