Well, I think we can’t surely say that nofollow links are counted by search engine or not but we can give guarantee that search engines not give any importance to nofollow links for ranking or page rank aspects.

By using the nofollow link you can increase traffic and if you get a nofollow link from the most relevant place and most relevant category at that time it is beneficial for you because relevancy is significant in search engine optimization.
