What Nofollow's meaning?
How to use "nofollow"?

I need your help..........

It's the opposite of Do-Follow.. LOL! NoFollow = NoWorky. Using NoFollow in blog comments, the original intent of the tag, does nothing to discourage comment spammers. Using other anti-spamming tools such as question, math and plugins such as Akismet and SpamKarma for Wordpress is much more effective.

I can't give you exact definition of "no follow" but my opinion for "no follow" is that link can't give the PR juice and can't crawl by Google. "No follow" have no benefits to website for targeting keyword in Search Engine and doesn't increase the PR of a website. The benefits of a website for "No follow" is traffic.

Crawlers, bots, spiders come to your site crawling and in turn adds all the links they find on your site for further crawling,however the links or the webpages with the attribute nofollo doesnt allow the links to crawl further.

The ‘no-follow’ attribute or tag applies to the A HREF HTML command for coding
hyperlinks which tells the search robot to not follow the link to prevent comment spam with links
posted to forums for the purpose of building
PageRank on third party sites. An example of the syntax is:
<a href="http://www.yoursite.com" rel="nofollow">Visit My site</a>. This
could be used to limit PageRank leakage if required.

Yeah, I agree with you

Although in the SEO world it feels like a lifetime ago since nofollow appeared, it's actually only been around since January of 2005, when Google announced it was adopting support for the new HTML tag.

Very simply, rel="nofollow", when attached to a link, tells the engines not to ascribe any of the editorial endorsements or "votes" that would boost a page/site's query independent ranking metrics.

Today, Linkscape's index notes that approximately 3% of all links on the web are nofollowed, and that of these, more than half are sites using nofollow on internal, rather than external pointing links.

I suggest you to read this article about No-follow links which will give you detailed knowledge..

Exactly as myndconsulting says.

Use it to instruct search engine "bots" to ignore a link.
