Are no follow link worth less..?

[victor_wp]

When I check backlinks to my site, there are some nofollow links that get indexed. I tried different link checking tools, and have the same results, with nofollow links included.

I've heard at least one SEO expert say that even Nofollow links do still pass rank. Nofollow links don't influence your rank directly, but they help to improve your traffic and traffic is one of the reasons of your top position.

Can you substantiate your claim?

Then why would webmasters place nofollow tag?

I think that too many people put too much emphasis on follow or no follow attribute. An incoming link to me is still very powerful and thats what I concentrate on...

Yes I would agree that an incoming link is still very useful whether or not it is follow or no follow. We need to remember that we are in this industry because we are doing what ever we can to drive traffic and visitors to our sites. The term "worthless" is a very poor term to use for any type of link because all it takes is one visitor to your site and that one visit could be a great conversion. A link is a link and all it takes is that one person viewing your site and clicking on it and there you have a possible conversion.

no follow links will do you no good at all

No follow links are believed to NOT pass link juice and PR and even that is always debatable with many but when it comes to traffic it matters not. People still click on links that have nofollow attributes and those clicks always have the potential to lead to conversions.

I think like some people before me said nofollow is only done by google so for yahoo it shouldn't matter. If you are primarily posting in nofollow blogs and are seeing a significant amount of traffic from yahoo then they are obviously worth something to u
