It certainly is, just add the rel="nofollow" attribute to your links.
<a title="Funny story" href=" funny.com/funnystory " rel="nofollow">
A very very funny story</a> - Say no to Internet Explorer 6.

James, in the above example, even though I have posted a link to funny.com, Google will not add to their Page Rank.

Thanks for the reply.
I know what it is i.e. <a title="Funny story" href=" funny.com/funnystory " rel="nofollow">
A very very funny story</a>
But how do you add the paremeter is Joomla. There does not seem to be any way to edit a link in the consol. ?

If you are using a WYSIWYG editor worth it's salt (JCE or WYSIWYGPro), you should see an icon/button called simply "HTML". Clicking on it pops up a window where the contents of the textbox are displayed in HTML form.
If you are using JCE, you will also see a link just above and to the left of the textbox to turn off the WYSIWYG editor. - Say no to Internet Explorer 6.

OK, you are referring to links in the copy. I do have JCE installed and agreed that is no problem.
Sorry I should have explained myself better.
How about Links in the User Menu or main menu, ones you set in Joomla for main categories ?
I have a main menu item for contact us I want to no follow.

I'm sorry Chris but that makes no sense to me. Why would you want to nofollow your own "Contact Us" page. I don't see who that benefits you.
nofollow is meant for things like comment systems and forums, to dissuade spammers who post their links in an attempt to increase their page rank. - Say no to Internet Explorer 6.

It's also a SEO technique for preventing pagerank distributing to pages with no content.
The basics are that every page distributes pagerank to other pages through links. The more links you have the less page rank flows to your other pages or indeed off sight pages. Therefore by no following pages you don't want page rank for you increase the benefit to others.
That said is there any way in joomla in adding it to your main links ?

- write a mambot to add it to the links as the page loads maybe.
