Since 2009, Google counts nofollow links also as outgoing links. What are some alternatives to stop Google counting outside links from my page?

If I make links appear on my page source like this:

<span hrefs="http://link" rel="nofollow" link="true">Link Name</span>

and then in JavaScript replace span with a tag and replace hrefs with href for every span tag that has link="true".

Will this help?
