      "Inspiration" blog posts are a good example. The one below has 80 pictures as part of a logo inspiration page.  But each picture has an outbound url. Bad or doesn't matter?

        If you are worried about having that many links on a single page, use JavaScript to link them.

          I would suggest you just nofollow them, so that you are not essentially giving out a link vote to each of those links. This will make sure you are not passing on SEO benefits/link juice to those sites/links.

            I wouldn't use that as a good SEO link building example. This looks like a little grey hat SEO. "If" I were the webmaster of that site, I would <nofollow>all of them so Google could see I wasn't trying to manipulate rankings. I wouldn't say it's bad, but it's definitely not something I would do. Besides, there's hardly any content. There's only about 9 sentences.</nofollow>

              Hey,

              I agree that the best option, as Francisco mentioned is to <nofollow>the outbound links in order to retain the pages authority and not send any fishy signals to Google. </nofollow>

              As far as the content issue goes, it could use a little bit better "text to code" ratio, but content doesn't always mean text. I'm also in branding and graphic design and found the post to be relevant and exactly as you described it..

              80 Creative Logos for your Inspiration

              There's 80 logos, and they inspired quite a few ideas as I scrolled down the page. So congratulations on pleasing your target demographic, which is exactly what you should be concentrating on.

              A couple of extra paragraphs below the images wouldn't hurt, and definitely nofollow the outbound links, but the first eight words of the post say it all...

              They say a picture speaks a thousand words...

              A little bit different version of the saying I'm familiar with 😉 but the post's content isn't an issue, just get the technical stuff right and you've got a winner. Now if you'll please excuse me while I check out a few more of those logos...

              Thanks,

              Anthony
