Google's John Mueller advises against disallowing internal footer links because it can lead to problems in the future. He emphasizes that such actions create issues for the website down the line, which can be frustrating and counterproductive.

PageRank sculpting is the practice of using the nofollow attribute on internal links to manipulate a site's PageRank flow. Google, including experts like Matt Cutts and John Mueller, has stated that this practice is a waste of time. Mueller has mentioned that using nofollow on internal links does not hoard any PageRank and is a common SEO myth.
