I am little confused here.Google says it does not pass any value to no follow links but I have too many no follow links and my website still getting good rank.So what is truth..?

The fact is yhat the rel="nofollow" attribute is only a marker that leaves the Google algo to decide whether to pass value or not.

It is merely an indicator that the site owner/operator does not "trust" the target site.

AND how can your site have "too many" "nofollow" links?

Well, having too many nofollow inbound links is not a problem as however they do not have link juice but still they help in terms of diverting traffic towards a site.

my website still getting good rank

What else do you want?

Nofollow does not pass PR juice. However, a site that has only dofollow links may be found by search engines (to some extent) as "abnormal". I mean, a mix of dofollow and nofollow links may be seen as a more "natural" linking.

On the other hand, you should consider both quantity and quality of links. You may a great amount of nofollow links (it does not harm your ranking) while only a few high quality dofollow links provide your site with a good ranking.

Its not worthless at all. Nofollow links can drive traffic to your sites.

They are absolutely NOT worthless. They do make a difference. i swear

It's possible that you are joining in nofollow forums or commenting to nofolllow blogs.

google still indexed nofollow backlinks, and other search engines do it too, so i think no follow links also useful.

Yes No follow is not useful for backlinks as it does not pass PR juice. Better to get do follow blog or sites to get backlinks!!

is not useful for backlinks as it does not pass PR juice

Only if you care about such useless distractions as toolbar PR

Your sig claims I can "hire seo experts" so you tell me!

I've heard they are worth less but I still pick them up as they can bring in some good traffic.

No follow links are also give a great help in generating traffic.

No-follow links can bring traffic to your site as well as do-follow links but Google's crawlers don't consider no-follow links in awarding PR as it doesn't pass link juice

no follow links is not worthless...the fact that not all user over the net are knowledgeable or aware about the PR thing...

by my view. no follow link not count in backlink but no follow link from good site catch by google and index in search result also

The nofollow links are not worthless . But it should not influence the link target's ranking in the search engine's index. Nofollow links was designed to control the flow of Page Rank from one website to another.

So many do this Keith (FenceGuy), the problem is many web designers who have a hang on photoshop and design feel they have to advertise SEO as it is inter related yet they need to find (too much) info elsewhere.

I have noticed the same on my own forum and not just from web designers but from those offering link building services to.

It is quite a lot of fun keeping them posting and giving them a little carrot so they keep the content coming and further prove they cannot actually perform the "SEO" service in a proper decent manner that will really succeed.

As for nofollow links - make of them what you will - as last poster (luckygal) said they are not completely worthless.

Well, I do not think that nofollo is not usefull, I just do not care about nofollow, and I want all backlinks, be it follow or nofollow.

not useful but may increase traffic. I think, though nofollow still useful to increase traffic.
