HI guys,
I have a newish site:: www.corporatemanslaughter.net  and it has a syndicated news feed ( TOP STORY), the links from this news feed snippet points to a page on our other website.
It was supposed to help the target site, but now I m realising it might be hurting this particular site by stealing some link-juice from home page.
I am considering using NOFOLLOW to stop link spillage. At least untill we get it to have some sort of PR.
What you guys suggest? I know there is a debate on NOFOLLOW and concept of `link-juice`.

Ya I understand Roland, but at the moment I think these 4-5 outgoing links from the home page are doing more harm than benefit. I`d tag them NOFOLLOW for now and keep working on getting quality backlinks.
What say?

What I sum up is that the more outbound links in a page the PR of that page decreases.On the other hand the inbound link which points to your website should similarly be placed in a page that has an average PR with minimum outbound links.Could someone tell me what a no-follow link is.

A NOFOLLOW is a tag that tells search engine spiders NOT to follow the links its attached toes to

To add NOFOLLOW to a single link add the attribute rel="nofollow" to each anchor tag e.g. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.example.com/">Anchor Text</a>

Initially introduced by Google, its acknowledged by most engines now. Prior to this people used robots.txt files to state what pages they dn`t want search engines to spider.
Now it was basically introduced to help web 2.0 sites and blogs to save from spamming comment and link leavers. One could simply specify NOFOLLOW for their comments, so any spammers leaving their URLs wouldn;t get any spidering.

Hi Hersh,

IMHO, nofollow your affiliate links and other ads related links, but dofollow your other links - I read in other forums that their sites got penalised by Google for excessive nofollowing links.

Cheers!

Google never penalises nofollowing as they were the people who recommended the tag. Matt Cutts, Google`s webspam head is abig fan of NOFOLLOW.
