I need help with no follows

    I have a question about no follow tags. I run a free classified ads site, and just about all my contents are user generated. I'd like to start putting no follow on my outbound links.

    For example, all the outbound anchor text and picture text in this post will be added with no follows.

    http://www.jihoy.com/post/540

    What I want to know, is that do I need no follows also, for all URLs, including ones that cannot be click on? Example:

    http://www.jihoy.com/post/2116

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    nofollow is good if you don't want to pass on the importance of your webpage to the outbound links but i am not getting your question. the thing which cannot be clicked on is never a URL. please be more clear

    Whenever people enter in an url on my site, it cannot be clicked on, unless they do some html to it to make it clickable. Would it still count as outbound link by googlebot, if the web address is on the page but can't be clicked on?

    In the first URL post, the guy posted an ad, using html, a lot of outbound links leaking rank juice.

    In the second URL post, the web address http://www.goindiajobs141.webs.com in the post isn't clickable, does that still count as an outbound link that I need to put no follow to it?

    Hopefully that clearify this a bit, I am a newbie at SEO.

    unless it's a live link, it is not counted as link. if no html is done on it then it's just a plain text. if it is clickable only then it's a link

    I thinks if you wants to target huge traffic on your free classified site then you should not add no fallow tags on your site. because there are so many free classified sites are fallow tags. and don't put all URLs, including ones that cannot be click on because it's should be good for you as well as search engine point of view.

    Hi,
    It is advisable to put no-follow in all the outbound links which are pointing to pages or sites of not your interest. i have sent PM of blog which explain how and why to put no-follow on such links.

    all the best

    Thanks for the advice, I guess I will set no follows for now, getting the google penalty for some outbound links that I am not aware of that killed my SERP completely :-(
