    Its a gamble. Obviously the only people who know google's algorithm are the important folks who work for G. Personally, I'm paranoid about nofollow. You pretty much know that links without "nofollow" are giving you juice and you can reverse engineer it. I don't know if anyone is really doing that with "nofollow" or if they are guessing whether the links without "nofollow" are getting more weight.

    Well i would really like to know and initiate discussion to understand has anyone benefitted from PR juice from delicious at all or just mere traffic, I understand definitely that nofollow links wont pass PR juice but i read some thread where debate is really whether there is really counting of PR for nofollow from Trusted sites like wikipedia , if then i believe even delicious is trusted

    the correct term is linkbaiting..

    And even nofollow links pass strength to increase in serps as I have seen in analysis where a site ranked for a specific keyword which was quite competitive yet almost none of his dofollow backlinks were optimized for that keyword yet his nofollow backlinks were optimized for that keyword - some were editorial but the bulk were not

    I conclude that nofollow is gaining ground in serp effecting power and thus google ranking algo/policy and the html attribute "nofollow" founders intentions have parted ways slightly

    Its interesting to mathoip, so if thats true then people shouldn't worry for no follow, but was it nofollow on some good trusted authority websites like delicious or wikipedia or they were other then those where no follow was placed. curiously waiting for your reply as you have analysed that site which had only nofollow links
