Matt Cutts explains Google's current position here:

You can no longer use no follows to sculpt pagerank.

Google primarily wants no follows to be used on ads so that page value is not passed from the advertisement on a website to the advertiser's website. Google does not want people purchasing pagerank.

It's a way to monetize pagerank. I can't believe people pay money for it!

Google doesn't support nofollow links in order to prevent link spamming. It's Google's mechanism to stop the manipulation of pagerank.

Nofollow links were created specifically to block spammers from building irrelevant links to manipulate pagerank. They are not counted as backlinks by SEs.

Also it is used by Google against those engaged in selling PR, thus nofollow will be used for selling traffics and still the site owner can protect his site from being penalized engaging in PR manipulation.

Before there is no nofollow... but due to too much spam link builders... SE introduces nofollow.... If Google bot find nofollow in the ancher code then will ignore indexing...

NO follow from a website will not be calculated as an incoming link from G. Thus they will not be calculated for finding out PR or in ranking your website.

Do-follow - Will help in considering ranking and increasing PR. Still do-follow links from niche category website can only help you.
