You should add nofollow link for all those external websites which you do not trust. Apart from this, nofollow link should also be added for Affiliate & Sponsored Links and Untrusted Content. It saves you from Google penalty.

First of all you need to understand what is NoFollow link? NoFollow links are the links that you need to add on your website/blog for own profit, but you don't want to inform google or any search engine that you added that link. It's like a Black Money!!!

You can use NoFollow link for untrusted websites and sometimes for Affiliate links. and If you are not sure about its a good link or bad, use NoFollow.

Nofollow links are used to indicate to search engines that a certain link should not be used for the purpose of determining the ranking of a webpage. There are a few situations in which you may want to use the nofollow attribute on a link:

Sponsored content: If you are linking to content that you were paid or compensated to promote, you should use the nofollow attribute to indicate that the link is sponsored.

Affiliate links: If you are linking to products or services that you are an affiliate of and receive a commission for any resulting sales, you should use the nofollow attribute.

User-generated content: If you have a website or blog that allows users to submit content, such as comments or forum posts, you should use the nofollow attribute on links within that content.

Low-quality content: If you link to a webpage that you consider to be low-quality or unreliable, you should use the nofollow attribute to indicate that you do not vouch for the content.

It's worth noting that using nofollow links doesn't prevent the links from being followed by the users visiting the site, it's just a way to indicate to the search engines that these links should not be used as a factor in determining the ranking of the webpage.
