I would like robots to follow only 5 links from my homepage and do not follow another links
It's not clear to me that using the nofollow attribute on your other links is a way of funneling all of your PageRank distribution to these chosen 5.
On Google, nofollow will prevent the other links from receiving link love. Whether it's a tool for controlling the distribution of PageRank on your site, though, is another question, and I'm guessing it's not. I certainly wouldn't depend on it longterm, even if it were so.
Would appreciate comments from anyone who's tested this.
I guess, no-follow tag will potentially protect you from “penalties” by linking to unknown places. By using the no-follow tag you state: “Here is the link, but I’m not sure what’s there, so if something bad there, I have nothing to do with it” – and I’m not sure if it does this: “Here is the link, but I’m not sure what’s there, so could you please don’t take it out of my PR”
It’ll be cool to get a definite answer on this issue…
