what is no follow attribute associated with anchor tags
nofollow
I'm not entirely sure what you mean.. but I'll have a shot.
"nofollow" instructs web crawlers (like GoogleBot) not to follow the link and index pages from it. Of course, this is only a directive and requires a well behaved bot to take the correct action.
It's useful if you have an admin panel etc on your site that you don't want to show up in searches.

It means meant to avoid link spamming like in blogs. The url's would have no value that way. Of course it is now misused by a lot of people to 'cheat' link exchanges. It is also very useful if you don't want a page to be indexed by the googlebot.
