title says it all, i have lots of inbound links and im getting more. Do search engines really care about me having some outbound links?
There has been a long debate about outbound links. Some SEO said that it requires outbound links (to authority site) to show the search engine that you provide a value to your visitors by referring them to the authority site. Well, my take is, the outbound links will do neither good or harm. Just link it when you feel like it
So linking to authority sites doesn't necessarily help, but linking to black hat... bad sites will hurt, right?
linking to a banned site will do you harm. black hat sites is not very secure from being banned. so try not to get outbound links from those sites that have black hat and link farms. link to those site that has your visitor might need and cannot found in your site.
