Basically what this means is that search engines will not look at your link at all based on that particular page. In other words, to the search engines it is as if YOUR LINK DID NOT EXIST ON HIS SITE. For more info on the tag, go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nofollow

Should people using these tags without disclosing it to you be considered "cheaters" ? Does anyone know of software which will not only check for te linkback but also check for the nofollow tag not being present?

I could see where that would be kind of a drag for the guys getting their freesites listed, but also may be something you would want to do for your links to sponsors.
