To comment on the should you remove no follow links I have to say yes. In a recent reconsideration request that got denied Google actually gave an example bad link that was no follow.
So no follow / do follow doesn’t matter!
I work at The Link Auditors. We conduct website link audits for SEO agencies for clients who have suffered Google Penalties or loss of rankings. We have a collection of online tools, designed in house, to make the process fully automated, quick and easy (You can self-service too!). One tool that is totally unique not available anywhere on the internet is our automated email tool. Once all of the unnatural links have been detected, this tool will automatically send out removal requests to each and every webmaster linking to your site making the link removal process, far quicker, easier and all done with just one click of a button.
Our removal tool has one of the highest success rate, averaging at 75% which compared to Link Detox at 5-25%, is a lot higher. We have a team with over five years of experience always happy to take your questions and give you advice on what you need to do to clean up your backlink profile. Feel free to call us on +44 (0)208 123 9429 and one of our team will be happy to help.
Nofollow / dofollow doesn’t matter much now that there are so many updates rolling. All that matters is the quality of the site from where you get the link, no matter if it’s nofollow.
Hummingbird has increased the cost of SEO.
For not go in spam, 50 different articles for 50 websites.
Hi Rank Back Link……
High costs for the copywriters, high costs for the submission.
Adwords gains, much from click fraud.

I had never heard of the disavow links tool. Thanks for the info. I know it’s an old article, but it may still be useful.
