In short, a Nofollow link tells search engine bots not to follow the link. The link passes on no SEO value — it essentially exists only for people, and not for search engines.

This terminology refers in SEO. The nofollow link is a link that does not count as a point in the page’s service, doesn't increase PageRank, and doesn’t improve a page’s placement in the SERPs.

No follow is a link attribute that instructs spiders not to crawl the particular backlink on the webpage. Hence these links are never indexed in search engines. They are only used to build traffic from various external webpages.

No follow is the backlink which doesn't pass any link juice.

Google does crawl no follow and while it may Not pass link juice it passes relevance factors to your site. Look at social media site, all their links are no follow yet they can increase rankings google clearly adds some value to it

Really? go check you google web master tools link profile , i bet you facebook , pintrest and google+ and most of your social media profile links are listed there . They are all no follow- no follow means it doesnt pass "link juice" , it still passes relevancy and google still indexes the link. it still affects your citation flow.
