    Yahoo will count no-follow links as back links. I'm not sure google will count it or not.

    Hi there, DoFollow and NoFollow - both are outgoing links, however, with NoFollow you clearly tell the Google bot NOT to value the given link. NoFollow links could come from a PR7 page, high quality, high everything but that doesnt matter...the are marked with a big sign that says: "do not pay any attention to this link!!!". So nice to have but worthless for SEO...not saying that if a site grows naturally it will be bound to attract some NoFollows...but if you do link building (regular and i know it is supposed to be bad: paid link building BTW it is not because competition is doing it also) you want to create a good distribution of things...add those things to the mix also that might not do anything just to cover your link building activity in general :cool: BTW here is something interesting regarding NoFollow vs. DoFollow. As you can see the ratio suggests to have a couple nofollows in the mix.... dofollow_vs_nofollow.jpg

    No follow in Meta robots lets you tell SE's not to follow the specified page. No follow in link relation does not share link juice.Do follow link is power full link all search engines are read this type of link

    Dofollow links carry weight in terms of SEO whereas nofollow links carry no weight. With regards to link building its good practice to build both as your backlinking profile needs to look natural.

    You can get traffic from Nofollow links and helping your website crawl but does not give you Page rank value as Dofollow back links gives.

    Goggle does not count Nofollow links. No-follow links are mainly work for ranking and traffic means (referral traffic) you can get by no-follow links.

    In my opinion google and yahoo not count no follow link as incoming link, it will help for only traffic purpose. So always use do follow links, search engine count do follow links as incoming links.

    Yes, no-follow links are also counted as backlink but their cases are less compared to do-follow link.

    Both equally do-follow and no follow backlinks can improve your ranking and traffic. The do-follow backlinks are effective for delivering direct traffic or even for boosting your search engine ranking positions indirectly (many people start to see the nofollow backlink and choose to link themselves to your site).
    The Dofollow backlinks really can improve your rankings, in case you try to rank highly in the search engines you need to search for strategies to increase specially the quantity of dofollow backlinks aimed at your website.;)
