Just a quick question, in my WMT I have links in from sites showing that are No Follow Links, is this supposed to happen, I would have thought they would not have shown?

I trust adding the rel="nofollow" tag to links in is the best we so that link juice isn't passed to my site??

Funnily enough, nofollow links can result in websites ranking in search results.

As the grand poobah Matt Cutts pointed out, those nofollow links don't pass page rank but they can pass anchortext, and can result in rankings improvements.

I'd expect them to show up because Google tracks inbound links first, then tweaks the values of them, many times for many reasons, second.
