Why would you use JavaScript to add NoFollows? Search engines don't execute JS, and will just read them as DoFollows…

I also use NoDoFollow Firefox add-on. It works wonders for me.

That is correct, google will treat them properly as nofollow links. It can be used with all links.

Just to confirm… this will change all targeted links into nofollow links AND google will treat them properly as nofollow links? Does this only apply to links within javascript or can it be used for all links?

If this works it will save me heaps of time. This is very helpful for working with websites that work with content dynamically generated.

It's rather interesting, does jQuery Magic tool allows adding do-follow links manually?

Now I share the opinion that javascript-generated links are checked by Google. That's why no fear that javascript based menu can harm your sites positions in search engines.

I think it's been a while (See first link of this article). I started noticing when my Google Webmaster Central reported "Not Founds" from my ever-changing Javascript BSA ad URLs.

@Pet Snakes
The whole topic is certainly highly debated. Regardless, nofollow plays an important role in controlling which result page gets the most juice. If I link to somebody externally, I would want to do them the favor of passing a really juicy link rather than a less juicy one (caused by a bunch of my other dofollow internal links to useless page).

You mentioned "leaking juice" via dofollow links. My understanding was that page rank is determined by incoming links and outgoing links don't affect the page's rank they come from only how much "juice" each link gets.

Also… if I only have dofollow links generated by Javascript. I think it's safe to just disable those via Javascript itself .

Let's see some links proving or disproving the above, please.

Googlebot does execute Javascript and follow links generated by Javascript and I also I think there is a strong trend in other search engines moving towards JS execution to resolve links.
