What does rel="nofollow" mean..?

If when I test my site and Nofollow = YES is this good? or should it be NO

What does this mean?

I set a few of my internal links as href.... rel="nofollow" which turned the nofollow into a yes, but is that good for my site? Please help, thank you!

nofollow just means the search engine wont link to that page from the page with the nofollow tags and add to the inbound links for that page.

RelNoFollow is an elemental microformat, one of several microformat open standards.

By adding rel="nofollow" to a hyperlink, a page indicates that the destination of that hyperlink SHOULD NOT be afforded any additional weight or ranking by user agents which perform link analysis upon web pages (e.g. search engines like Google).

Typical use cases include links created by commenters on blogs or yahoo answers even, or links the author wishes to point to, but avoid endorsing.

The only times you will want to set nofollow is when you are linking a page on your website that you do not want search engines to index. or in other words..

The only time you will want to set nofollow is when you are linking a page on your website that you do not want to come up on a search engine search.

Now naturally this isn't how to stop search engines from indexing pages, you should be using robots.txt to do that.

There should really be no reason for you to use rel=nofollow. Remove it from your source. =)

The nofollow tag would tell the search engine robots not to index the content the tag is attributed to. ... I would try to set up a robots txt with a follow tag to index and spider everything. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,...
