I have used ‘rel=nofollow’ attribute to few pages of my site for which I don’t want the PR juice to leak to. But these pages are already indexed in Google SERPs. I don’t have any problem with their indexing but I want to change their snippets…i.e. title and description in SERPs. For the same I changed the title tag and Meta description of these previously indexed pages. But don’t know whether because of ‘nofollow’ or what…even after a week Google is still displaying the same snippets for these pages.

So I want to ask the webmasters that whether “nofollow” causes ‘no updates’ or ‘no crawling’ in SERPs for previously indexed pages…if yes, then how could I change their snippets…if no the should I just wait or should I simply get those pages removed from Google index using webmaster tools?

If time sensitive, webmaster tools is the way. Otherwise... wait. No hurry up, just wait.

They'll get round to it eventually as they trawl those old URLs in theri database. However, if you want updates to be discovered quickly, just leave a couple of links followed- it is probably more detrimental to leave orphaned pages on your domain than to lose a bit of PR following links- especially from low value pages.
