Nofollow on internal links

[Rob-]

Hi,

What do you all think about using nofollow on internal links? On pages that arent so important and use dofollow on important pages maybe for example from the sites menu.

Today doing what we know as "PageRalk sculping" (adding nofollow on links with no relevancy) is not a good idea since 6 years ago.

If you want to give more relevancy to certain pages, you can just link to the important ones and try to link to the pages with little relevancy in more internal section (try also to merge legal pages into just one). Also remember that this isn't the only factor to give more link juice to your most important pages.

Finally, just think about your visitors and show them the important info and links when needed.

Exactly. Do try and link more to your important pages, don't try and hide your less important ones.

Completely agree with the answers above - just adding an additional resource. To quote Matt Cutts: "it doesn't hurt to put the nofollow link for a link pointing to a login page, or things like terms and conditions or other "useless" pages. However, it doesn't hurt at all for those pages to be crawled by Google." - source: http://searchenginewatch.com/sew/news/2298312/matt-cutts-you-dont-have-to-nofollow-internal-links

Hopefully this string is still active. We have hundreds of events on our calendars that open to very thin pages: date and time of event with little other content. https://www.landmarkschool.org/family-bbq  https://www.landmarkschool.org/landmark-school-bkb-b-v-practice-16 Does it make sense to add no follow and no index tags to these events and no follow tags to the calendars?
