Too Many Outbound Links on the Home Page - Bad for SEO?

[Web3Marketing87]

Hello Again Moz community,

This is my last Q of the day:

I have a LOT of outbound links on the home page of www.web3.ca

Some are to clients projects, most are to other pages on the website. Can reducing this to the core pages have a positive impact on SEO?

Thanks,

Anton

Hey Anton,

As far as links pointing to other pages of website, no problems as they belongs to internal linking which is nice in deed!

But for links pointing to other websites (Clients), please apply no-follow attribute to them as they are currently passing authority of your website and this is not an ideal thing!

Not bad for the homepage as far as I know - but it does seem to be bad for the internal pages you link to as any 'juice' that is passed is diluted by the amount of links you have. Internal linking & navigation is good, but don't overdo it with spammy footer links that all point to keyword-rich anchors back to your site, especially repeated ones.
