Nofollow is usually use to prevent link juice being passed, so if the internal page does not wont link juice its can have the nofollow attribute eg ”register here” or “sign in” links.

That will work? Increase PR?

There maybe some pages on your site where you don't want to pass the PR juice and like Hafsoh mentioned pages like register, sign in don't need to have PR so you can add nofollow to these links.

To prevant PR leakage nofollow tags are useful.

Page Rank sculpting is no more a working trick friend. We can technically prevent PR leakage by inserting nofollow but that won't help to improve the PR share of other links on the same page.

I am still using nofollow for some of my internal links as to avoid content duplication. Eg: Tags and archives point the same content but with different url.

when you have a nofollow attribute the crawlers wont visit that page which that link leads to. the link wont get any seo related benefits from that page. (internal or external same result)

no follow links in some other way it can help us spread the links in search engines to get crawled.

hi,

nofollow links are also important even if they don't have link juice but still they can drive traffics to a site and that you can also promote your site on nofollow blogs. That is why nofollow links are still important in optimizing a site.

I think we would like to use nofollow attributes on pages we want to hold PR juices.

Have a good day,
