Rel next prev, should i nofollow pagination links

[Sayers]

Hi Everyone.

When implementing rel next and prev on pagination pages, should I make the pagination links themselves no followed?

Have seen people saying yes and no so just want a final answer!

Thanks

You absolutely should not make the links nofollow. Google does not mention making the links no follow and as far as I know, I don't think the guys at SEOmoz would recommend you to make the links nofollow. This is because you would miss out on link juice to these inner pages by making the links nofollow.

Here is a link which will provide you more information about using rel="next" rel="prev"
