    In my opinion, nofollow links will make your dofollow links look more natural in the eyes of the search engines, particularly google.
    If you have lots of links with same anchor text, it will be good to have some nofollow (with same anchor) so that the dofollow do not look suspicious.

    Dose nofollow link have any value in SE? Invaluable if it helps you achieve top rankings! No follow links remain valuable for many reasons. They generate an assorted backlink profile. Now let me know, could you rather have a PR 5 no follow link or maybe a PR 1 do follow link? The answer then is obvious. No-follow links still carry power.

    Yes, it does have value. Provided you get nofollow backlink from related content site and Authority sites.. though PR Is not passed down, but some authority is passed down as per SEO experts here on DP

    Most links have some value whether they are no follows or not. Its all about relevance. I'll take a no follow link that's relevant to my niche anyday. It may not count as much as a do follow link but if its relevant it will play a part.

    No directly, but well placed no follow links can still bring immediate traffic to your blog or site.

    In SEO point of view there is no value for nofollow backlinks. However, your linked page/site may be indexed (if not already indexed in google) when google crawlers visits your link in other sites where the link to your site has been placed.

    A backlink is a backlink, doesn't really matter is it a dofollow or nofollow, continue building backlinks using diversified approaches.

    NO Follow links are critical to your overall link diversity.

    If all you have are Do Follow links, that IS NOT natural link building.

    Anyone telling you that NO Follow links do not matter and are not needed, don't understand Genuine Overall Link Diversity. Many of the website suffering in the SERPs after the latest Panda updates and other algorithm changes, either had bad on page SEO; or they did not have Genuine Overall Link Diversity. You should be seeking to add NO Follow links to your backlink building campaigns.

    It is important to include all types of links in your link profile. The no follow attribute was introduced by Google and may well at a later date even be removed in favor of a better solution.
