Hi all SEO Experts I am running a forum and it is doing well in SE I am ranking Number 1 on the keyword which i want I have made all link NO-FOLLOW in my forum But i just read somewhere that 0 outbounds links will get me penalized If i have only incoming links they will be considered as Paid links here is what they said - So what do you recommend me ? Shall i have some outbounds ? I am running a forum and removing NO-Follow tag will ruin my SEO Does DP uses NO-Follow tag ? Thanks in Advance REP for Answer
DP does not use nofollow. If you are getting hit with a lot of spam then I would definetely nofollow your links. Anyway, the type of people who will stop posting if you use nofollow probably werent the type of people who add much to a community anyway.
Its not hazardous, no. If you are worried about having no outgoing links at all, link to wikipedia or bbc or whatever is relevant from your index page or footer etc.
