    Possibly. (If your talking about link trades/exchanges)
    If you have a lot of traffic but they have hardly any then they might be willing to do something like this just for the hits. Why not post in link exchanges, see if anyones interested.

    I also think you dont need to worry about link is dofollow or nofollow. Some time ago there was a thread here showing a nofolow link is as being counted as backlink in google. So, as long as link is from relevant website and not spammy website then link is a link and MAY be counted as backlink. Sometimes even dofollow link are not counted as backlink in google. It all depends on what google isthinking about that website based on various other factors and parameters like authority, age of domain ,etc.

    Yes links from nofollow sites also count as backlinks but it won't pass link juice.

    You are missing a lot of what ifs and maybes.

    The site has to be indexed by google and have some PR.

    A "nofollow" link just means the PR juice is not passed.
    Nothing more, nothing less.

    Does google count it as a backlink?

    Well, contrary to what people think, the answer is still a big
    maybe, even if it did not have the "nofollow" tag.

    Google must value the link first and foremost. If they don't
    value the link, index the parent site, even like the parent site,
    then google could care less about the link.

    And even if the page had PR, and your link was not using the
    "nofollow," google still might not count it. You cannot force
    google to count any link. Many people us the ridiculous phrase,
    do follow, which is meaningless. You cannot command google
    to do anything, let alone count a link or pass PR.

    Well, you can command google to not pass PR on by using
    "nofollow" as well as when it comes to sculpting how they
    crawl your site.

    Bottom line, you cannot force google to count anything as far
    as links go. You just have a higher chance if the link is not
    using "nofollow," and the parent page has some PR.

    all depend on search engines algorithms. for google, they won't counting "nofoolow" as backlink, but for yahoo, they might counting "nofollow" as backlink. imo.

    It's hard to say...I think nobody really knows if Google counts as a backlink a nofollow link. Anyway a nofollow backlink could still help you get more traffic.

    Google clearly states that a link is a link. And it is very clear on the usage of nofollow tag for affiliate hoplink.

    NoFollows count as a link, but the site that has the nofollow link does not get docked anything for linking to your site. A lot of the big sites like Digg changed to nofollow because imagine having millions of links going out on your site. They would lose all their link juice :)

    A nofollow link is still worth having, especially from a higher PR page.
