What are your views on no follow links? do they still somehow give some link juice? specially in Google...is it counted as backlink regardless of other SE's? one example to site is wikipedia....which is no follow but still show on the backlinks....

Google Webmaster Tools and Yahoo Site Explorer show backlinks even from from those with follow attribute but the link juice cap is still their it doesn't flow.

Well I have seen links with nofollow attribute get crawled by Googlebot as they shows up when searched for backlinks. Hence they follow the link but I don't think they pass any page rank value.

NoFollow links have no PR juice but many of them are great for getting traffic

I think no-follow attributes has no value from Google but it has a values on different Search Engines like yahoo, ask and etc

Nofollow links don't have PR juice but some of them are very useful for getting traffic to your site. Thus, there is no harm in using nofollow links.

No follow link is not useful to increase PR

But be careful if you use nofollow tag excessively in your sites for the shake of PR sculpting. It can be an indication that lots of your links is not "trusted". G bot can look at it that way.

Google does honour the no-follow tag in terms of it doesn't pass link juice on.

Does where to put "nofollow" can affect Google bots?

Why some people do not see "nofollow" really all work?

Not with Yahoo and MSN KK

We've also discussed this issue with colleagues at our fellow search engines and would like to thank MSN Search and Yahoo! for supporting this initiative. http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2005/01/ ... -spam.html

Nofollow links may not be weighted by SE, but users (hence trafic) will click it if interest them. Traffic is more important thing than SERP for sure

In front of SE's no use of No follow links.

But, we can get traffic from the No follow links.

In fact, we also place links in no follow forums.
