This question concerns use of the Link rel="no follow" tag.
(It DOES NOT relate to Meta "no follow" tags or the Robots.txt "no follow directive !)

Accord to the GWG (and Matt Cutts video blog) they would have you believe that Google doesn't crawl no follow links at all.

But other SEO tests have indicated that this might not actually be the truth.
Read this article carefully.

In the second half he explains that no follow links may in some circumstances at least, still carry some value.

Hi,

Means google also follow no follow links.

I hear till now that yahoo follow no follow links but google respect no follow tags and dont follow no follow links.

Its completely new information for me. But its still unbelievable.

Thanks
