Should i nofollow outgoing links on posts

[wickedsunny1]

Hello,

on my blog i don't nofollow the outgoing links inside roundups like : http://www.designzzz.com/extreme-demos-html5-jquery/

a friend of mine suggest me to nofollow all out going links in such postings. he added that it will help increase posts PRs and better search rankings.

Any thoughts?

cheers

Hi Ayaz,

As far as you are linking to webpage that are relevant to your blogpost and helpful to your visitor if he navigate to that link for additional information. According to me, you should provide the dofollow link ( as credit ) to awesome blogpost or content. When you don't trust the information ( comment on blogpost), you can use nofollow tag.

Your post Pagerank depends on incoming links and social shares.

Hello Sanket

Thats exactly what i had in mind and i kept dofollowing the links as credits.

Thanks for clearifying!

this is not true, nofollowing the link is simply throwing away that bit of PR and not passing it to the other site. Removing it as a hyperlink and simply showing the url as text or obfuscating the link are two ways of retaining your PR.
