Should you avoid 'nofollow' attributes on your own sites?

Why does Google recommend regular links? <\/h3>

Google suggests using regular links between your own sites to enhance their natural SEO value. This means these links are treated organically.<\/p>

By avoiding 'nofollow' attributes, you promote a more authentic link flow between your web properties.<\/p>

• Regular links facilitate the passage of PageRank.<\/li>
• The absence of 'nofollow' attributes signals trust.<\/li><\/ul>

  Are these links considered affiliate links? <\/h3>

  No, Google clearly distinguishes these links from affiliate links. This helps to consolidate your network of sites while maintaining a legal approach that respects Google’s guidelines.<\/p>

  Using regular links avoids potential penalties associated with affiliations that may be misinterpreted.<\/p>

Does this statement align with observed practices? <\/h3>
