    Hello,
    I read on DP that "external nofollow" links don't count as backlinks. But yahoo is showing my comment on a blog post with "external nofollow" as a backlink.
    Whats the reason? I an so happy though if it goes on like this.:D

    ok, yahoo doesn't support no follow attribute thats why your link has been counted as a back link.

    Yahoo follows Nofollow links.
    That's the simplest reason why it shows external nofollow as back link.

    I have seen back links with no follow tag in google webmaster tools too.

    These links don't have PR juice.
