    I have a site where I embed a lot of YouTube videos. Nearly every post is generally around 400-800 words and contain 2 to 3 videos.

    Should I NOFOLLOW the outgoing YouTube links? Is that possible?

    No there is no need to do nofollow to your youtube video links.

    Nofollow is valuable for anchor links and have no importance for other type of tags like embedded videos.

    Its good that you link to trusted sites. It is a factor in your ranking consideration. No follow links only when you are not sure of the target sites link building practices

    You need to keep few outgoing links because Google don't like to sites with 0outgoing links.

    Thanks everyone. I was just worried I was leaking too much juice since I have many many links going out to YouTube now. I won't worry about it.
