That is exactly how I found out.... so that is 100% fact... or else I wouldnt have made the statement. So like I said it may or may not help build PR - i have NO clue on that one - but I do know for a 100% fact that they recognize that there is a link there... what ever they choose to do with it from there, i have no idea Do you think your government tells you everything, the way something really is ???
In my own experiences, Google or other search engines would pick up nofollow backlinks but would not transfer PR values to the linked pages or sites. Thanks,
yeah that is true the different is that you don't get same juice like if was a do follow but you still get juicy for the link
