    Hi,
    I have thousand of links and every page is about another domain.
    I think about add Dmoz url for each page that direct to the url - now I wonder if I should "NoFollow" each Dmoz link? :confused:

    I don't understand.You have thousands of links on one page? Or does you site have thousands of pages, each about a different domain with a link to that domain on each page?

    Nofollow won't hurt you. DMOZ has plenty of inbound links already. Making yours nofollow won't hurt DMOZ's feelings or anything. On the other hand, its DMOZ, so making the links spiderable won't hurt you either because I doubt DMOZ would be considered a bad neighbor (at least by the search engines). The only reason I would consider adding nofollow to the dmoz links would be to a) make sure you're passing the most PR to the other links on your page, and 2) reduce the number of links that appear on the page for a spider. I'm not sure about that second one though. It maybe that the <100 links Google recommends includes links that have the nofollow attribute. That is, if you have 200 links on a page, but 150 of them are nofollow, Google still may ding you slightly for having too many links.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the great answer (rep added).

    I have thousands of pages, each page is about a domain name (like short of a review for each domain), each page of the thousands have around 80-90 inner links (to sub-pages and so on) and only 2 "outbound" links.
    First is to the site that I review, second is to Dmoz (In case the that I review listed there) and I juts write the Location + hyper link.


    I will 100% add "nofollow" to the "URL" because thousands pages, probably many of them consider "bad" for some Engines.

    Just wonder about Dmoz, thousands of pages with thousands of Dmoz links?
