Nofollow is the best way to capture page ranking for a while and keep "SEO juices" from flowing to the other sites. However, if a higher rated site links to you it can only mean a good thing for your site income in a short term. Let's try to keep the content changes regular and of a decent sound and let's hope Google will take care of the formula. I think it’s true.

In this case, you try to aim for a higher PageRank, but that relies of the current algorithm to stay the same. Google has been known to adjust it over time. If too many blogs and such start using the "rel='nofollow'" trick, it might become useless and you'd be back to step one. The World Wide Web is built on the concept of hyperlinks.

On one hand, if you're a high profile site, you might not want to give smaller sites some "SEO juice". But on the other hand, if you're a small site, and a high profile site links to you, you're going to want them to allow search engines to follow that link, so you get some "SEO Juice". Wordpress doesn't seem to add nofollow's anyways, which means my Blog shouldn't contain any nofollow's (unless I add them manually), which is okay with me.
