dofollow link question

Hi,

I am just curious.

If a website has 10 'dofollow' links on the homepage to external websites, the link juice is being distributed to all 10, correct?

If 9 of those 'dofollow' links were to be changed to 'nofollow' - would this power that one 'dofollow link'? would more link juice be passed through?


Thanks.

    The concept not only about PR juice. Basically you have to see the niche the link flow is going and from what kind of site the site is generated. Basically it is of no use if the link that has been generated is of no value to the site which is getting it.

    Of course there will be a strong flow of link juice to that one outbound link on your homepage. The principle of link juice goes does: the more outbound links, the lesser flow of link juice

    Note: The PR value of the page the outbound links are resident do not change.

    No. That used to work, but Google changed how they handled nofollow 6 or 7 years ago because of people taking advantage of that.
