Blog comments can be great, thought not very relevant for directories.

Thanks for the info dear, but I wouldn’t recommend it, because it isn’t the most effective way to utilize your PR In general, I would let PageRank flow freely within your site. The notion of “PageRank sculpting” has always been a second- or third-order recommendation for us. I would recommend the first-order things to pay attention to are 1) making great content that will attract links in the first place, and 2) choosing a site architecture that makes your site usable/crawlable for humans and search engines alike 3) create a better press release and last but not least 4) Try to drive traffic more to your side, this can be done in many ways like visiting on other’s blog and comment there or publish your web link in collaboration with some advertisement company
For example, it makes a much bigger difference to make sure that people (and bots) can reach the pages on your site by clicking links than it ever did to sculpt PageRank. If you run an e-commerce site, another example of good site architecture would be putting products front-and-center on your web site vs. burying them deep within your site (Ex:www.homeshop18.com) so that visitors and search engines have to click on many links to get to your products.

There may be a miniscule number of pages (such as links to a shopping cart or to a login page) that I might add nofollow on, just because those pages are different for every user and they aren’t that helpful to show up in search engines. But in general, I wouldn’t recommend PageRank sculpting.

@Gabriel: We won’t know for another year after G changes it back None of the BIG SEOs could find the difference for one full year and most even kept charging 1000s of dollars to their clients for using nofollow on internal links. Just limiting number of outbound links is a proven method and will continue to work till Google gives importance to PR.

I dont think it will be long until G changes it back as the only reason they started the nofollow was for themselfs

As long as you have a good seo designed site and only link to sites in your niche or sites that are strong in good content you should still be fine.

Dont forget this is for all site both big and small so it should not change much in the ways of serp.
