Too many links on home page?

[staingurus]

I run a forum that currently has 351 links on its home page (and p.1, 2 etc.) due to all the tags that appear under feed items.

Is it a viable solution to get this number down to simply  nofollow all of these tag links? How else can I get this number of links down recorded by Google down, or is it not something I should be especially worried about?

Hi Matt,

There is a very good blog entry on seoMoz which gives answer:

I hope that helps, if not just reply and we'll try to give a shorter answer

I have had a similar question once, where I asked the same about nofollow:

http://www.seomoz.org/q/will-a-mega-menu-on-all-pages-dilute-the-link-juice

In the thread the following was posted:

Should I consider setting "nofollow" for some of the links on other pages than the homepage?

Definitely not. When you nofollow a link, you do not save any link juice. You stop the link juice of flowing to the link but it does not flow to other links on your page.

Best regards,

Rasmus

Thanks I followed up with a couple of the respondents to your question, since I believe my situation presents a unique case...
