    I have over 100+ forum sites to link build and they are no follow..
    Is No follow link building useless?

    They don't give you any link juice but yes they are also helpful if they are posted on good article or famous site . It will drive you traffic lifelong ...

    Yes they are good. Any link building should have a natural mix of links including no follows.
    However they like any links will be best if they are coming from related/relevant niche.

    To make your link building campaign look natural, you should have a mix of both dofollow and nofollow links. Though nofollow links dont pass the link juice to your page, but still can provide some traffic.

    From a Seo standpoint, yes they are practically useless but they can help you get some pretty good amounts of traffic.

    Don't think like so. Perhaps true as for as google is concerned. Not sure but heard that even google considers them for SEO but doesn't involves them in PR computation. Anyway, they are good for other search engines and for traffic generation.

    They don't pass any link juice but they can bring you traffic. And you never know Google's Algorithm is constantly changing so you don't know when nofollow links will be useful.

    Google still counts nofollow links in my experience, just not as much.

    If you search around you'll find a lot of experiments out there which prove that. I have a complex theory for what is going on, but all that matters really is that it helps.

    Also likely Google has specific rules for authority sites which use nofollow like Digg and Wikipedia.

    Nofollow link still good to have, because it can give traffic to our site.
    Maybe it will not help in ranking on Google, but it will help on other search engine.

    It's useless, but it's good to have them! They might give more exposure (long lasting quality traffic.)

    Exactly, they won't help much torwards SEO so don't go out of your way (or pay) to get them. But having them couldn't hurt.

    Nofollow links don't provide pr juice but if these come from relevant sites then they can give good referrals.

    get as many links as possible
    if you focus on seo you will get nowhere
    a link is marketing too

    Seriously I would rather have a website with low PR and high traffic than high PR and low traffic. The numbers is what makes you more money.
