Does Google Count Nofollow Links

Does Google Count Nofollow Links or Not??? Because Mostly popular article directories and social book marking sites are nofollow????

 

although they are designed to not pass any PR juice, nofollow links help you with indexing, marketing etc.
they are counted as backlinks.

 

They say it does not help in rankings and they dont pass "link juice" I hate that term.

But to be honest who cares an inbound link from a good source is all that matters, main thing is could that link provide direct relevant traffic? If so get it who cares if its follow no follow ect.

Also other search engines do take note of how many links you have from no follow sources too, I have a funny feeling even Google do actually take them into concideration just dont treat them in the same way of course.

 

There's a very good explanation about this at http://searchengineland.com/what-social-signals-do-google-bing-really-count-55389 (I haven't been here long enough to post that as a link yet )

 

I was asking the same question elsewhere. I understand that they do help with indexing and also show a more natural link building process with both dofollow and nofollow links. It shows a decent balance.

Plus, if in the right spot, they also build traffic!

 

No nofollow backlink is not count

 

Good question. Here's a good Wikipedia article on this exact thing:
en wikipedia org/wiki/Nofollow
I personally think that they're worth getting no matter what Google does with them.

P.S. I left out the dots 'cause I'm too new to post links.

 

However, it is indisputable that links are extremely important to get high rankings on Google. To get high rankings on Google and other major search engines, it is important to have both optimized web page content using the top 10 ranking optimizer and good inbound links using the inbound link optimizer.

 

well they can help with regards to google indexing.

 

they are not counted but they can help. It is a link from a diferent domain. So it is good to have so nofollow link around the house just in case.

 

I also dont think that No-Follow links are counted for the PR, but surly they provide many direct traffic wont they, and that will be enough for me

 

According to I have understood, are all links to Google. But do not count towards PR.

 

Those links are not helps to PR, but helps to some traffic.

 

yes, it will be shown in your backlinks, because all links will be counted.

 

it is my practice to check who are linking to my posts and i see some backlinks from PR4 or PR5 websites which added no follow tag on the links but as i check the Google SERP, my keyword is soaring high.

For me, nofollow backlinks still counts but not as valuable as dofollow.

 

I think Google does not count nofollow links as backlink but it helps increase traffic to your site.

 

No google does not count nofollow links but yahoo does.

 

Sure they do. They just don't weight as much as dofollow.

 

Yea, they are nofollow but good for SERPS, traffic, and indexing. I've had some digg and yahoo buzz posts for my sites pop up in search engine results.

 

No Follow links will not have any value directly but if those links generate traffic to your site, traffic is counted while ranking
