    If your main aim is to drive traffic, then no-follow links are always useful. But when considering page rank, it doesn't help you in increasing page rank as their page rank won't traverse to you. Then you can't come index your site at the top in google search.

    Nofollow backlinks are links that have less value with regards to search engines but they still drive huge traffic towards a website like a dofollow link. :)

    No follow links are links where search engines normally ignore them and do not crawl them or count them..but as per my experience i think no follow links too are crawl by search engines..

    First of all i think many member should know that there is nothing like dofollow links.
    There are two types of links
    1) Links with Nofollow attribute
    2) Links without Nofollow attribute

    Links with nofollow attribute - These links are having a nofollow attributes for search engines bots.It doesn' passes any page rank juice as well as there is no or very minor impact on search engine rankings. Although many seo experts says that links with nofollow attribute does nt provide any seo help but nobody can prove it. Still these links can help you to gain traffic if the theme of the site is similar to your site's theme. Also for me a link is better then no links.

    Links without nofollow attribute
    May people call these links as dofollow links but actually these links are without nofollow attribute.There is nothing like dofollow. These links help you to gain page rank as well has effect on your search engine rankings. If the links are related to your site theme then you can expect some improvement for sure.

    What you should do is try to get links mostly from site which provides link without nofollow attribute.Also if you are getting links from site which has nofollow atribute will not hurt you but can help you to increase the number of links in yahoo site-explorer as well as gain some traffic.
    Hope these helps.

    Google doesn't crawl them. but still they gie weigh, you can feel free to use nofollow internally to help tell Googlebot which pages they want to receive link juice from other pages

    They do crawl them, but its on them whether to index them or not. I have tested myself this. If you don't believe me then just get a bend new domain, do not tell any body just get a nofollow link and see whether it gets followed or not.

    Hi, amrish2338

    Generally speaking, all back links with correct anchor text from decent sources would be helpful for SERP purpose, no matter dofollowed or not.

    all the best,

    Nofollow links are the links which do not share link juice and Google also does not give preference to no follow links.

    Nofollow are links in which Google does not give you link juice for having. However, other SE might. In addition, it is good to have a good diversity of links so NoFollow links can be helpful.

    Nofollow links are not useful for search engine. Search engine won’t consider as a link building.

    nofollow backlinks on a site does not have any impact on links coming into it. That is – where others are linking to you – backlinks. Nofollow on your site only affects outgoing links from your site. It tells the Search Engines not to follow any outgoing links.

    No follow likes are not scroll by seach engines like google and yahoo.
    With no follow likes we can't get any promotions for our website. that will help for our SEO also.
    We has to submit in do follow websites to get high page rank or traffic.
