Does NOFOLLOW boost your own site?

If you limit all your outgoing links to nofollow does this make you more trusted in the eyes of google?

Also does it help to increase the link juice when you finally do give a DOFOLLOW backlink to site?

I've often pondered this.

What if you do alot of reciprocal linking but all the outbound links are no follow?

If you limit your outgiong links to nofollow then no link juice from your page would be leaked. And if you are complementing this with regular inbound dofollow links, then you would see a good increase at the next PR update.

But it does not in any way increases the Trust factor IMO in the eyes of Google.

I have a top 5 ranking on one of my sites and when I actually had a closer look at my inbound links the other day, I was surprised to see how many, maybe half or more, were no follow.
