Here are some benefits of nofollow links,
1. Human traffic: You can still get traffic from 'nofollow' links. You won't get traffic from search engines, but from the websites themselves. If you have good backlinks, this can be very beneficial even though the links are 'nofollow'.
2. It doesn't hurt: 'Nofollow' links can't hurt your website. Search engines won't let them impact your rank (for better or worse).
3. Search engines still follow: Although links are deemed 'nofollow', search engines will still follow the link and index your page in some cases. Most won't let the backlink impact your search engine rankings or PageRank, though.

The only one benefits I get is the traffic from no follow links I don't think there would be any other benefits in terms of getting good ranking or visibility.

I think no follow links are not useful for a website. These are no beneficial for any website.

No follow helps in increasing the page rank of certain sites. Another reason is that you can find large number of posts and they can have some terms and conditions and sometimes they contain legal things also. But Google mostly like do follow links only.

I got your 3 benefits of no-follow links. i do agree with you but now, it does according to Google penguin and panda updates??

Many think that nofollow links are useless and some think they are useful. But really do they have any importance to them? The common places where we find no follow links are blog comments and forum signatures. They cannot provide value towards your Google pagerank, but they are not useless at all. They can help in fulfilling the main motive of driving traffic to your site.
