        In short, it won't pass link juice but will still get crawled 🙂

          Thanks.

          By link juice, do you mean the "value" of each individual link ?

                "Link juice" is so 2010.

                "Link Love" is the way forward... 😉

                      I think by value you mean pagerank?

                      Here's an old article about link juice/page rank (be aware that this is a little old now, but the description of how value is passed may be helpful)

                      Whiteboard Friday - Controlling the Flow of PageRank & Link Juice

                      You might find this more recent article interesting:

                        Both Google and Bing state in their documentation that they do not crawl no-follow links

                            I know this to be false. Further - I've seen them actually improve rankings where no other link building has taken place. They certainly do not pass all value but some certainly.
