Follow or Nofollow?
-
Hi all,
I have a question, which I can not figure out the answer to.
I have a web site which collects sporting news articles so that users need only to go to one site to check news about a subject instead of going to all sorts of sites. On the site I simply link out (to over 300 sources).
My question is: The links (I have thousands and thousands per day) should they be follow or nofollow? Do I gain anything by having them set to follow. Or do I lose anything by setting them to nofollow?
The site is http://www.holdnyt.dk - if you want to see how many links are per page and so on.

Definitely no follow. You have nothing to lose and you protect yourself. You can be penalized by having so many dofollow links, nofollowing them completely protects your site and doesn't change your page juice or anything negative by nofollowing them.

I have just read an article that says no follows now leak link juice?
I have just been reading a really interesting article about link juice. The way I read the piece the author was saying that there has been a change in the way link juice is blocked with 'no follows.' The author seemed to say that there has been a change and now even if you add a 'no follow' onto a page that the page will still send link juice to that page. I may have read this wrong. I just wanted to check if anyone else had heard this at all? Many thanks

Would it make sense to add a no-follow to About, Sign In, Join Us, Privacy, Terms of Use etc?
Hi everyone, In order to increase link juice for relevant interlinks, wouldn't it make sense to attribute no-follow to the following interlinks: About Us, Sign In, Join Us, Terms of Use, Privacy Policy, Security, Contact Us, Home (assuming brand name / logo also links to homepage), and any page where there are 2 or more links directing to the same page. Thank you, Kristian

What impact do no follow links in blog comments have if any?
Hi I think we all agree that social network sites such as pintrest/instagram/twitter are all now no follow however I believe there is benefit in having them.... So I wondered if anyone had been experimenting with commenting on blogs which had no follow attributes and if there was any benefit in terms of improving your rankings?
