    How did it affect your serps omaryo? I know they'll nail your PR to the ground if you're caught & do it badly, but don't usually see the same sites drop in their actual rankings

    As long as they don't find out you will be fine. If they do, you will get penalized, usually you will get a PR0. don't sell to many links on one site, it will look spammy.

    too much outbound links is not good for SEO.. little numbers is not a big problem

    in search engine eyes, inbound link make your site better, and outbound link punish your weight in google so selling link is consider as outbound link so better to avoid

    if the outbound links are in the same niche that will not affect your ranking !
