Link Juice internal links question

You should nofollow links which you think shouldn't receive linkjuice. My account and terms and condition are excellant examples of pages which should have a nofollow on the link.
Tip: You should also make sure that Google doesn't index these pages by placing: to the section of your website.
Hope my advice was helpful

I have to disagree with Wesley a little, I don't think nofollow should ever be used on any internal links, as any juice that was going to be passed is then lost (thrown out the window), it is not "saved". Its better just to "noindex" pages you don't want to rank (as Wesley said).
No follow should only be used for external site links that you don't want to "vouch" for. (eg links from comments section etc)

Sorry that's incorrect, do not nofollow any internal links on your site or you are throwing away your page juice for no reason. What you are suggesting is pagerank sculpting which hasn't worked for years since Google made the decision to still split and throw away PR on internal links with nofollows on them.
If juice flows to the terms page there are still links on the terms page with will receive the juice that the terms page has accrued, by nofollowing you are simply throwing away your page juice for no reason at all.

I agree with Irving. I would only add no follows to outbound links.

If you have 50 internal links on a page and NoFollow 25 of them, the link equity is still divided by 50 before being passed... but the NoFollow means those 25 get nothing and the followed 25 only get 1/50th. Here's a few older articles & posts on pagerank sculpting and its death.
