Whenever you found a little piece of code in your link i.e. Rel=”nofollow” it mean that the link is nofollow and these types of links does not impact the authority nor help you out to Improve Seo ranking or visibility of your website.
Because rel nofollow tag is a noindex tag which has in fact a clear instruction for Search engines that do not try to index particular link.
By adding the above mentioned code for noindex crawlers simply ignore it and do not give any value nor pass link juice which cannot be prolific for batter ranking in search engines.

No follow links as the name itself it won’t be followed by google bot to the desired hyperlinks. And also no link juice is passed to hyperlink if it is No follow link. It will be just used to increase back links counts.

no follow links are search engine's way of saying 'don't count this'. They gain no love. They neither bring any traffic to the site.
