No follow backlinks?

No follow links don't add any value to your website. It doesn't effect your SEO or search rankings in any way, but some people will say it has a very tiny, minimal effect on it. However, you should never avoid it, and I'm sure you know that by now. Google looks for a certain percentage when it comes to Nofollow links, they can determine who's using blackhat techniques if they don't have any nofollow links on their website and bring down the penalize hammer. I believe the percentage is anywhere near 15-24 percent or higher. Anything below that will be dangerous to your website.
 
No Follow backlinks are those which have attached 'no follow' attribute in their source code, this meant to that the linked site do not give any value or authority to the targeted site. But having some no follow links are good for the site according to new Google updates.
 
Some say nofollow links do give a little bit of pagerank juice, but it's only a small amount. I would still get nofollow links, but yeah dofollow's are obviously 50x better!
 
I don't want dofollow links in my comments at all, I want them in my actual posts. In each blog post I write I have links leading to the website where I sell my photographs, and they are currently coded nofollow. I would like to get rid of the nofollow.

I don't think that nofollow links are entirely useless. They still gain visibility to your site, and make people more aware of your domain and your brand on other sites. Theoretically they can still drive organic traffic and real visitors to your site, which will increase your overall traffic, which is a good thing. They just won't be passing any link juice from the originating site.
 
Nofollow links don't pass any link juice to your website. Such links help to increase only traffic. It's important to include both dofollow and nofollow link for your backlinks.
