    Here's what I've got from wiki..

    "nofollow is a HTML attribute value used to instruct some search engines that a hyperlink should not influence the link target's ranking in the search engine's index."

    no follow links do not help your SEO in any way. It tells the SE spiders to ignore the link so it won't count towards your PR either.

    nofollow attribute is used to prevent passing the PR link juice.

    Not most,

    "Few free Directories are With Nofollow" But takes time to get approval"

    Don't feed any miss information here.

    The nofollow attribute in a link tells the webcrawler not to follow that link. That means that the bot will just ignore the link and not take it into account for indexing or ranking.

    For Google, it means that don't pass any PR juice to links with a nofollow attribute :)

    Thanks for asking this question and for everyone that answered. I've always wondered what no follow means.

    Nofollow links are worthless for getting pr, still it sends high traffic too.

    Nofollow, it is the restriction attribute so that the Search Engine will stop following the links in the site. Correct me if I'm wrong... Lol.
