Yesterday I released a WCDDL Module and one of it's features is it checks for a backlink but it also checks the backlink for nofollow. While testing with an old DDL Database almost half the sites (409) with a backlink use the nofollow as nobody ever checks for it.

Some people do this for their own benefit but others do it by accident when they install some SEO modules and plugins on their website.

A nofollow link to your site isn't much use. You want Google and other search engines to follow the link so insist they remove the nofollow from your backlink if that's what you want. For example Katz and MechoDDL used to automatically check and ban websites who added the nofollow to the backlink.

You also want to consider this if your doing link exchanges with other webmasters and want GoogleBot to flow. You maybe sending them page rank but they not be returning it. Play fair.
