    No follow Back links are not Count as Back links in Google. Google Consider only Do follow links as Back links

    Whether Google counts them as backlinks or not, I have no idea. But I'm quite sure it's still useful for Yahoo, among others, and the direct traffic you'd get from the link

    I think no-follow is useful for yahoo now and it may affect google also to some extent. for sure it's not like do-follow. I think from the meaning of the word the search engine spider will not follow the link tagged by nofollow (follow means go with the link and spider your site pages) but it will affect the keyword anchored by your link in SERP of the linked page

    Google only count DoFollow as a backlink & others search engine count nofollow, dofollow both as a backlink.

    Thats why commenting on blogsite is totally useless for google search engine. [coz maximum blog use nofollow]

    Do-Follow links are loved by Google and gets counted as a backlink which helps you increase your PR... While No-follow links are just no follow at all, they dont have a value for being a backlink as Google sees it...

    Google counts nofollow links as backlinks. You can find nofollow links also in Google WMT.

    But, when it gives PR it not considers the nofollow links.

    how can a bot index a link which it does not follow? @ rena if a bot doesnt index a no follow link how google or any other SE will index it...

    Bottom line is google doesnt count no follow links..

    The nofollow tag is only recognised by Google, but that does not mean Googlebot does not follow, in reality it does; they are also counted as backlinks, as many peolple can see in their Webmaster stats. What they don't do, is passing PR to the page they point to.

    Do follow links will count as a back link, No follow link will not count as a back link in google.
