Nofollow links appear in Webmaster Tools

I made a posting on a blog with "Nofollow" links. The two tools I use to check this both confirm that the link is Nofollow. Yet Webmaster Tools now reports this as a "Link to your Site".

The other thing is that this link appears many, many times. Once for each day Google visited the site. About 30 or 40 times.

So I'm confused. Google says it strictly follows the Nofollow tag but this must not be so.

 

In webmaster tools it shows those links but for general search result in google these links will not be valued or taken into consideration as backlinks to your site...

 

I think nofollow means no juice for the linked page but not for noindex. There is another attribute called noindex for that purpose.

 

Hear nofollow means, PR juice not follows for that page.

 

Google Webmaster account show all links whether it's nofollow or dofollow.
Although nofollow links will not pass any PR value to your website.

 

Both ways.. if it shows or not, simply it won't pass anchor text power at all

 

Agreed, it does NOT pass PR juice, but does it help on the SERP´s?

 

As it won't pass PR nor Anchor text value it won't help any site in term of ranking...
However, it might help in indexing and crawling tho

 

I thought I saw somewhere on matt cutts blog that nofollow does count as a vote for your site but the valuation that is given is almost nothing.

Also too nofollow doesn't mean google doesn't follow the link, it still follows it, its just the valuation given is pretty much NIL

 

I try to stay away from nofollow sites unless its going to bring in good traffic.

 

Google show all kinds of links. You can even find Facebook and Twitter ones on there.

 

NEWWEBSEO is correct - you can see the links, but they carry no PR juice to your site.

 

A no-follow backlink is still a backlink. Just the PR-juice won't get passed from the original site.

 

It's wired, mine no-follow links never showed in the webmaster tool
