Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Hi Andrew, Welcome to the SEO world and as Devanur mentions in his response below, you need to change focus from looking for followed / nofollowed links to building great content which will automatically attract links coming through to you. Alternatively, though, you can still focus on the traditional linking methods by joining industry associations in your field and being listed on their websites as verified members which will get you links back to your site (follow / nofollow really depends on each site in this instance). Good luck and stick to white hat techniques!
