How much link popularity boost will they provide?  [...] […] Just like at one time you worked to get you web pages into LookSmart, HotBot, etc. I have also noticed that while links and Del.icio.us are all tagged with rel=”nofollow” and therefore don’t help with link popularity for SEO that many of the others are not tagged and I have found that Google and the others not only will index you personal Diigo, RawSugar, etc pages if you provide links to them from other web pages, they will also deep crawl the links and follow them.

This is a topic of much debate. There are clear tests that show indeed search engines respecting the nofollow command. There have also been plenty showing them to not follow the command. Many times the truth is somewhere in between. Do I believe a bunch of nofollow links are just as good as links with out the command? NO WAY. Do I believe the the engines 100% respect the command at all times and there is zero effect on the rankings based upon them? NO! I don't buy that either, I have done too many experiments that have gotten sub pages indexed against the nofollow command. I have done others where it was respected.
