Home Page Link Juice Dilution

[TQContent]

I have worked to build out a keyword targeted library of over 700 Guides of approx. 800 word each.  They are specifically targeted at actionable verticals and contain 3x strategically placed CTAs in each article.  So far, I have only managed to get a low level of uniques per day to this section of the website.

This website's external backlinks are largely pointed at the home page.  Furthermore, the home page has a footer link to 10,000 SEO crawl-able user generated profiles.  These profiles have little potential for conversion and offer little value.

Given the above information, I was hoping that someone could help me with the following questions:

1. Is it possible that home page link juice is becoming diluted as result 10,000 user profiles being live on the site?

2. If so, can a "no follow" on the home page footer link to the user profiles prevent the juice from transferring?

Overall, I would like to redirect this PR5 domain's link juice to these guides where they will have a much higher conversion rate.

I don't think that single link to the 10,000 profiles is the problem.  Even if you nofollow it, the link juice is still being spent, but not given to the link.

You didn't say how the 700+ guides are structured ?  How does a visitor get from the homepage to these pages?  Are they organised into categories ?  Are they interlinked ?

You didn't say how the 700+ guides are structured ? Are they organised into categories ?

Answer: These guides are organized into 30 different categories.

How does a visitor get from the homepage to these pages?

Answer: The visitor gets to these pages from the home page via a main category link in the footer of the website.  Unfortunately, there is not an option for placing these links higher up in the page.

Are they interlinked ?

Answer: Yes

I hope these answers were helpful in some way.  Can you please update me on you thoughts of how I can increase traffic.  Additionally, do you think that having 10,000 live profiles could potentially dilute the link juice in another way?
