This is not entirely true. When it comes to calculating Page Rank, this is the case but this does not mean that Google does not recognize the link to your site.

Do follow and No follow are used specifically for PR. This is an old system used by Google that has been falling out of favor. Just because a site has a high PR does not mean it ranks well in searches.

Don't worry so much about if it's do follow or no follow. Get any link you can get and watch your search engine rankings not your PR.

Hi, Dofollow links increase the PR of your site and Google also give priority to this. In Nofollow case Google Ignore your links and PR isn't effected by these links.

nofollow mentions to search engines that the link provided in the content should not be indexed.
Whereas dofollow refers as opposite to nofollow, it mentions the search engines that link should be indexed from your site and you trust that link.

I am fully agree with you, it is very good information you shared about dofollow and nofollow. I was totally unknown about it, it is very useful for getting the best idea about traffics in different search engines.
