Default Bleeding Pagerank?

I've read a little about "bleeding pagerank" in a few articles and I was wondering if I should add a "nofollow" attribute to links from my directory on www.dublinbynumbers.com? I do check the sites listed to try and make sure they are not spam and that they provide a service in Dublin, so I'm unsure if a "nofollow" is appropriate (I'm inclined to think it is probably unnecessary)? Your collective wisdom would be much appreciated!

If you set your links to be "nofollow" then that would render your directory pretty useless in terms of SEO for the site owners

I would be more of the opinion about adding nofollow to pages like Dublinbynumbers - Dublin's Directory and Guide - gyms, doctors, hotels, creches... Dublinbynumbers - Dublin's Directory and Guide - gyms, doctors, hotels, creches... etc. These have links on all the pages, and it doesn't make so much sense to pass pagerank to these (IMHO).

While I'm happy to make the directory useful on terms of SEO for those listed, I was just wondering if it might adversely affect my PR because I have so many links? I am inclined to leave it as it is is, but thought I'd ask the experts!

Paul: Yes I think I might add a nofollow to those links... and before anyone mentions it I know that they have the same title tag (to be rectified soon)!

On another note your google search box is blocking the top left navigation links when viewed in Firefox.

Seems to work fine for me. What version of Firefox are you using? I was thinking of moving it anyway mind you.

Still can't see the problem... but if anyone else can see a problem with the search box blocking interfering with navigation, I'd appreciate it if you could let me know so I can fix it. Cheers.
