Google Webmaster and how it values No Follow links

[flinge]

I thought that webmaster only collated follow links, but when I looked at the page source of one of the backlinks to my site, it showed as "no follow". Does this mean that no follow links do have value? Has anybody else noticed this?

Links are links. Whether it is follow or nofollow, it doesn't matter.
Even today, Yahoo search engine gives some weight age to nofollow links.

No follow links can give you some direct traffic. If the no follow link is from a big site then its worth having.

If the quality of the link is good, it can be counted as a valuable backlink by Google no matter what it says officially. Whenever I check my backlinks in Google, I found both no follow and do follow and this means that it still give value to no follow links but you should discard the importance of quality.

Nofollow links give no benefit other than that of direct traffic.

You may see such links listed in GWMTs but they definitely not help in anyway.

You have asked a very good question that has perplexed many an alert webmaster. My theory is that they through in a few of these no follow links just to keep us guessing, because Google aint tellin what there up to here.

If your website link is on a nofollow page then it means that your link will not be counted in eyes of google.

I have to agree with this..
and even if the link is nofollow.. the direct traffic may be worth your time.. 8-D

Maybe yes and maybe no. I have found that most social media traffic is just curious and it bounces 100% of the time. I almost exclusively acquire links that are Do Follow. It provides some benefit for my efforts.

No follow links are free links,
They give lesser result than featured or paid links.
No follow links take more time to get approval.

This is wrong on so many levels. I would like to suggest that you go the the Google Webmaster Central blog and look this up for yourself. You are likely going to be surprised!
