If the link holds a follow atribute then it's a valid backlink.

That's how it should be but it appears that some SE are indexing them still.

So, even links from no follow coded pages can appear in Yahoo’s backlink index, as those links are actually being followed by search engines. I’ll also go out on a limb to say that the aspect of the no follow link is a bit outdated when it comes to search indexing & ranking, as even if those links don’t pack “ranking juice”, they will help to define you and your site’s:

Thanks for bringing this up, something to do some research on.

I encountered SERP's from Delicious and Digg from time to time.

Social bookmarking links such as the ones you might find on facebook might be a backlink in nature, but they won't count towards your backlink count because facebook is internal in a sense, unlike myspace, where profiles can be seen by anyone.
