    Hi,
    Can some one tell me that anchor text i got from a no-follow link is countable by google or not. I know that page rank won't traverse from a no-follow link, but want to know this anchor text. Some say "yes" some say "no".. Any SEO giants clear my doubt..

    Anchor text from a “nofollow” link will not give you any linking credit but since people will click on the anchor text, it will bring loads of referral traffic to your website.

    It is not seems to be countable but you may get traffic whenever people click on that anchor text.

    The no-follow links do not transfer direct ranking value, according to the official explanation of Google. This means that if a link is marked as a no-follow one the so called "link juice" would not "flow" from the linking page to the linked page. However, there are two main benefits that no-follow links bring:

    1) As mentioned already, people could still click on the link. Thus, you might get referral traffic and possible conversions.
    2) Having "do-"follow and no-follow links in the link profile of a website makes it look more genuine. Thus, according to some specialists no-follow links actually help increase the trust points for a website and Google could rank it higher for that reason.
