A lot of outgoing links should I no follow?

I have not thought about this until now. I have an abnormal amount of outgoing links to other sites, tens of thousands. My site has been live for about 5 months and I have not set no follow to these links.

Would it be a good idea to? Could this be negatively effecting me?

Thanks

I cant decide whether to add a no follow to all my outgoing links..

@tarzan10Mar 24.2010 — I would have added nofollows to prevent even more outgoing links. You lose page rank if you have too many of them.

@samantha_syncMar 24.2010 — good for you that you have added "no-follow" attributes to your site because it will secure your site from spam links..

  • - a [B]link[/B] is your [B]vote[/B] for another website to rank better

  • - [B]nofollow link[/B] is [B]NOT a vote[/B] for another website to rank better


  • and [B]nofollow[/B] was invented by [B]google[/B] to give you a chance link to spam and scam sites with no penalty to your site (like not because you vote for them, but because you just mention them)

    something like this...

    but... If you have [B]100 liters[/B] of [B]link juice[/B] flowing to your home page... and you have [B]100 links[/B]... [B]1 liter[/B] flows to each link.

    [B]HOWEVER[/B]

    if [B]50[/B] of the links are [B]nofollow[/B] - they do not receive [B]link juice[/B] at all...

    you might be thinking that the rest [B]50[/B] will receive [B]2 liters[/B] of link juice now

    [B]NO!!!![/B]

    the rest of the links will keep receiving [B]1 liter[/B]

    even if you have [B]99 nofollow links[/B] and only [B]1 do-follow[/B].. it will still receive only [B]1 liter[/B]

    That is why....

    [B]1.[/B] keep the number of links on the pages (that you want to rank well) as less as possible

    [B]2.[/B] if you want to keep your link juice inside your site - don't link outside your site

    in other words

    on the homepage of your website you should have no more than 10 links and all of them to your site pages ([B]utopia LOL[/B])
