Google's John Mueller recommended that you do not disallow your internal footer links. A Reddit thread asked, "Should I disallow some pages that are in footer?" John replied, "If you do this, future-you will be annoyed by the problems current-you is creating."
Google has often said not to nofollow internal links , calling PageRank sculting a waste of time. Heck, even Matt Cutts said in 2010 not to use nofollow for internal links . Previously, John Mueller said, "You don't hoard anything when you make links nofollow." "It's a common SEO myth," he added. "I think it's a waste of time to do that" when asked about it years ago.
