    OBL = Out Bound Links

    It is links from your site pointing to other websites.

    That is a total numbers of outbound links. 112 OBL mean there are 112 links pointing to other sites from your site.

    An outbound-link (OBL) is a link from your website to another website.

    An outbound-link (OBL) is a link from your website to another website. This is the link that should have the "nofollow" attribute added to it.

    The outbound link must be less on your website. The outbound links are the other websites added on your websites.

    @ bestseoexpert and seongpinas Really!!! I was wonder to here with it PR and Ranking increases.Where did you got this idea?

    @catanich Who told you or where did you hear that an OBL should have no follow attribute?
    Do you know why no follow attribute is used for?

    Abbreviation of OBL was posted above very clearly(Out Bond Links) and that means external links from your web page which are pointing to other domains or web sites.

    Links from your website to another website or webpage. The visitor generally has to leave your website to follow an outbound link.

    Out Bound Links...

    If you are buying links on someones page, their PR juice may be divided by the number of out bound links...

    So, if you have options of a link on a page with 100 OBL, or one with 10 OBL, if all else is equal, go for the one with 10 OBL ;-)

    be sure that your out bound links are linking to quality websites.. otherwise, you are putting your site authority to jeopardy.. if possible, there must be less OBL from your sites..

    OBL stands for Out-Bound Links. It is the link that points towards your site.

    I wonder why so many people are repeating over and over the same response, that OBL means outbound links? Are they so desperate to post?

    Finally, one comment that makes sense. Joliber is right You SHOULD have OBLs on your site if you want to be taken seriously by the search engines, and NOT ALL should be "nofollow". Just the contrary: Links to quality sites will enhance the status to your site (even if in theory you reduce your PR because of the outgoing links) in the eyes of the search engines. Don't overdo it, but a few quality links on each page provides credibility. Avoid links to "dubious" neighborhoods and affiliate links, or at least add the "nofollow" attribute to those...

    OBL is "Out Bound Links" -- these are links from your web site to other web sites. IBL is "In Bound Links" -- these are links from other web sites to your web site. Inbound links are also referred to as "backlinks". Inbound links are very important in SEO (Search Engine Optimization) because inbound links raise your Page Rank (PR), which in turn raises your SERPS.
