Is no-follow link worth less..?

[vipdistinct]

For me no-follow links are counting as links (as I see in my webmaster central account with Google) although they might not be passing PR - at least they are counting as another link pointing to my site. I'd say getting links either way is valuable.

No follow link can generate traffic depending on a website. If you will notice Digg.com now is a no follow social bookmarking sites but there is no big difference, because many are still posting links there. It means that no follow is still good in generating traffic and conversion.

According to Google's official stand, Nofollow is used to prevent link spam and thus has a reduced value compared to the links without Nofollow tag. This leads me to believe they are worth something, just maybe not as much as dofollow. And it is said that nofollow gives trust so getting Nofollow links won't harm.
In the end it could be good and in the beginning it doesn't really hurt

No follow links are still useful. No follow links can help a website to increase it's traffic.

No follow links seem to be counted by the Yahoo links in keyword spy?

In my own experiences, no follow backlinks would still be calculated for SERP purpose but not for PR. They are also valid votes for your sites.

Have a nice day,

Definitely not ,they maybe no-follow links but they still can driver lots of traffic to your site.

Nofollow links don't have value according to some webmasters but it helps drives traffic into your site.

I always set any blogs or sites I own as DoFollow as it encourages comments - providing you moderate and give guidelines on quality of comments then it's a great way to build interactivity into your blog or website. I comment on nofollow and dofollow for the reasons already mentioned above.
