Internal nofollow links

[conalt]

Hello,

We have a blog and at the end each blog post (and from the sidebar) we link to one main product page (tagged with a particular query string).

Now Google will see from every blog post all of these internal links pointing back to this page.

Do you think this would cause a problem and that these links should be nofollowed?

I think Google will kind of detect that these is kind of  a "navigation" as the code will be the same across all webpages. Most of all, doing them nofollow I think it is worse because it may trigger some sort of pagerank sculpting algo filter, if it still exists.

Thanks,

Conrad

Thanks for your reply! The intention is not for SEO, more for users to make them aware of the product page and to check it out. So it should be useful and I imagine it shouldn't be a problem then

The first question I would be asking myself - is this useful for the customer. If the answer is yes I wouldn't worry so much about Google so long as you offer good user experience.

However if the answer is no and your doing it more for search engines then I wouldn't recommend having the link in the first place.

But what ever you do, don't put nofollow on the links, you want Google to freely crawl your site.
