When/where is it better to NOFOLLOW
-
Hello,
I have been away from SEO for a while and boy, how things changed... I have a question/concern about implementing nofollows...
Should I nofollow repeated internal links?
Should I nofollow internal links at all?
What if a page has too many internal links between top navigation with drop down menus, left column and footer links?OR
Should I only use nofollows for outbound links?
I am pretty confused and would love some clarification...
Thank you very much,
Koki

Hi
I would hate to leave SEO and then have to come back. I struggle keeping up to date and I spend all day looking after SEO.
You should probably read: http://moz.com/learn/seo/internal-link its a great article on internal linking.
Whether you should have them as "nofollow" this is upto you, but I would suggest leaving them as follow, but if you have all internal links as nofollow, then any DA your home page gets, the "link juice" (and I do hate that word) wouldn't be passed to the rest of your site, so the other pages would struggle to rank, as they don't have any PA.
Outbound links is different: if someone has paid for a link, then defiantly yes. If you are linking naturally and actually would recommend the article then yes leave it as follow.
I hope this is helpful and good look in getting back into the world of SEO.
Thanks

Koki,
As says Andy, there's noneed to nofollow internal links. Use nofollow on an external link when you can't vouch for the quality of a site, and when it's a paid link.
