Yahoo is now powered by Bing. Bing does not pass any "juice" or "link love" through a 'no-followed" link. Nor did Yahoo when it was operating on it's own index and algorithm. No followed links are only useful for traffic.

The article you quoted says "trust and attribution" are not passed by Yahoo or Google. However, that post is more than 3 years old and refers to when Yahoo was still running its own show. The post doesn't deal with MSN at all. Today MSN powers Yahoo, so you need to look to how Bing treats nofollow to answer how Yahoo treats nofollow. :\
Bing respects the no-follow attritbute, so therefore, Yahoo does.
I know some are confused by reports that both Google and Bing have been known to crawl links even when they have a no-follow attribute. But crawling and indexing are not the same as passing PageRank or "link love" or "juice" or whatever you care to call it.
The answer is, yes, I am positive.

According to latest google webmaster central blog information if a page with PR 3 contains 3 links ( 2 follow and 1 no-follow) then it doesn't means PR juice will be equally divided among the 2 do-follow links.
So, you're saying they're full of ......?
Actually, Google says just the opposite. If you use the nofollow attribute Google does not assign that PR to any of the other links on the page.

Basically that particular definition for 'SEO' is the only one they are qualified at, so yes, they are full of **it

Short answer - yes.
Are you perhaps thinking of <meta name="robots" content="nofollow" />, the antecedent of <a href="URI" rel="nofollow">Title</a> ?

Well, if we all listened to what google was telling us we'd be in trouble. That's like believing that you have to leave backlinks on relevant content... Remember when they told everyone that they needed to have a site map on there site? Then went through and slapped everyone ...or a lot of people that had site maps? Never believe what google tells you!
why do you worry about this topic..If the nofollow link is from a site with high traffic, then this could send a lot of visitors to your site not via Google or yahoo or any other search engine but directly from that site.
