No Follow = No Page Rank?
It's become apparent that SE's like Google do indeed follow no-follow links, and that these links can still affect your SERPs, which begs the question, what does the no-follow attribute actually do?
In my opinion all it does is stop PR being passed to the target site. "Authourity" is still passed through a link, but nor PR.
Interestingly though I read an article a while ago that illustrated that while the PR is not passed to the target site, it still counts as an outbound link for the host site, and the PR that would have been passed is simply lost.
So, whats the point of no-follow links then really?

Good question... But you can get quality answer from Google only))
Such algorithms SE`s keep in secret...
All I know is that nofolow links are count by google. Also I think that PR goes through such links as well, but not in a same way as from dofollow links.

I would say if the no-follow links might not help in PR but they are helpful to get web visitors to find your site.

No-follow links are not a complete waste they can get you traffic plus they are indexed by other SE like Yahoo etc.

Re:
As i know, yes it is right. because if site was no follow then search engine will not count in pr calculation. try to do in only "rel=do follow" sites.

Its possible that a large proportion of nofollow references causes Google to apply a negative (rather than positive) change to PageRank, on the basis its someone spamming a URL to multiple webboards.

No-follows links can be followed and indexed by google but the for the PR purpose they are not counted.

Only Google really knows what happens to no-follow links, I don't want to speculate.

"nofollow" links are completely dropped from Google's link graph. They do not pass PR nor link juice. Nofollow references do not hurt your ranking either. Many large sites these days nofollow everything to prevent spam, Wikipedia being a prime example.

In my own experiences, nofollow links would also be treated as votes for our sites and thus help in SERP for keywords in the anchor text. Also, we might expect direct traffics from some niche relative nofollow back links.
all the best,

No-follow links has implemented to avoid getting more spammed links, now what no-follow links can do for your site is only traffic and no Seo value but it can help on variating your backlinks as having all of your links as do-follow looks unnatural to Google.

Where on the page can you find "do follow" and "no follow". I cannot find this looking thru the code. Would it be on a home page of a message forum or show up on the page you are you are replying on.

If you can not find anything, it means "do follow". The code is located on the hyperlink it self, it may be on header, body, footer etc.
This is example of do follow link:
<a href="http://www.example.com/">discount drugs</a>.
While is is example of "no follow" links:
<a href="http://www.example.com/" rel="nofollow">discount drugs</a>
