I am newbie to SEO. I have an website built base on e-commercial platform. When I check outgoing link from my website, I see too many dofollow links to facebook, twitter, google plus...

Links from facebook, twitter, google plus... come from share button on every page.
bizweb.vn, dktcdn.net are website of company that supplies e-commercial flatform.
I heard that if there are too many dofollow links from a website, the rank of that website will decrease. As the picture, those outgoing links will affect my page rank?
How can I change those links to nofollow and why the flatform supplier let dofollow links from my website to social networks?

    Hi, I'm newbie on this forum, but what you should do is edit html and insert nofollow tags, for example <a href="https://facebook.com" rel="nofollow">Facebook</a>.

    I think you have to add no-follow text for any external backlinks from your website. which will doesn't effect on your website search engine ranking.

    That is a really stupid suggestion. Nofollow does not conserve link juice. It still leaves through the links. It just doesn't get credited to the destination.

    And nofollow is to be used for paid links or when linking to a page you do not trust. So you don't trust Facebook?

        Simple. Either have the links or don't. If you think the share buttons are important, keep the links. If not, then get rid of them.

        They are not hurting the ranking of the pages they appear on. They do make your internal links slightly weaker, but millions of websites are using them and are just fine.

        The only other real option is to hide them in an iframe or javascript that Google can't read, but that is not a permanent solution. Google is making an effort to read content within both of those.
