How can I optimize the Wordpress "read more" link?

[adaumhenrique]

What is the correct way to work with “read more” links in Wordpress?

I have a Wordpress blog where I use in each post a read more link (posts with long content), in other words, in the home page each post has two links to the full post, this is good for the usability of my blog. I show actually 10 posts on the home page, this results in 10 links of post title and 10 links of read more = 20 links. I have 10 repeated links on the home page. My read more links have customized text, links to the permalink without #more, links dofollow.

In this way that I’m using read more links, Am I diluting the link juice of my blog?

Is it correct to use nofollow in internal links trying to manipulate the link juice of my site?

You can leave the Wordpress read more links as-is - they should be fine.

Google only counts the first link on the page to any given URL, so Google should be counting the anchor text of the first link, which is the link that uses the post title as the anchor text.

Nofollowing links will not help point more link juice to the other links.
