      My website has a link to our help desk. I was considering a 'do not follow' since I don't think it should be included. However, are there any benefits to including it since there are A LOT of articles and pages on our help desk (though it's aimed at our curent customers, not new or potential customers)?

        Why wouldn't you want to include a link to your help desk? If it's a resource that visitors will use then you should include it.

        As for a nofollow link, this is just going to stop link juice being passed to your hepdesk page, but other links on your page will pass less link juice as a consequence, so without more information, it doesn't seem to make sense to do this.

        If there's a reason why you don't want visitors to access the help desk then don't include the link at all.
