No follow means your website gets link from other website, but not get weight of the page rank for the page which link you means no follow links. No follow links doesn't count as link of particular website.

NOFOLLOW coverage that your site gets a link from other sites, but not the weight of the page rank of the page, which means there is no link to follow the links. No links below are not considered a link to the website in particular.

The nofollow link attribute (rel =;nofollow

was originally created to block search engines from following links in blog comments, because of the amount of blog comment spamming

In addition to previous replies nofollow is often used for Link Sculpting which means directing link juice to the most valuable part of our website and blocking it form going to the less valuable parts like "Register" pages and "Terms of Service"

I think it is the way to get traffic not to get backlink from the google.

stevejohnsun · 10-18-2011, 07:22 AM

Yes "Dave.Staley" you are right i agree with you,
Google not index no follow links

hi,
no-follow links help you to get traffic towards your site, but it doesn't help you to get any link juice.

hellokitty · 10-18-2011, 11:57 PM

No follow is an attribute that implies if a site link is clicked, the PR of that link will remain unaffected in search engines. A no follow code does not block the content from view or prevent the indexing of content instead the prime intention of the no follow code is the prevention of spam and spamdexing. Also a site having both follow and no follow links appear more natural to Google, which is a desirable feature for SEO.

Great information! I agree most of you here and I�ve been looking for something like this for a while now. Thanks!

No follow are the tags.These tags are never crawled by google spider.Hence a keyword having no follow tag does not carry any weight age.

Amby · 10-19-2011, 06:57 AM

No-follow is used not to follow and index that link by the search engine. Also, not to pass pr value to that link. It is in case of Google.

No-follow links help you to get traffic towards your site, but google doesn't count those backlinks.......
