I have found some contradictory sources .

 

There is no reputable source mentioned in that article. Nice try on the link bait

This blog has one post and this is it. There is zero creditable sources, waste of my bandwidth. This is lame link bait and spam at best.

-REP

 

News Flash...

Search results in Google do not count as creditable source.

 

Could be linkbait and spam...but the explanation seems logic to me

 

Can u please explain to me in detail about the outbound link?

 

Why is every one so worried,,,,get out of directories if you have them and start focusing on content and specifically relevant links

 

I think you're right, but I won't burn a red rep on him.
I would send you some green rep, but I need to spread it around first.

 

For now, it's just suggestions which not confirmed even unofficial by google.

 

I think in future it will announces officialy.

 

Sounds like a decent argument, but the lack of creditable sources kind of soils it for me.

 

That's a first, someone using a search result as a source

 

regardless of the source of this story, I am suspecting that outbound links may have been used to discredit a site in googles algorithm recently

it is unfortunate that google would do it that way..... actually the whole linking system as a relevancy factor pretty much sucks

 

The idea makes sense. It's possible that Google is using it.

 

Hoping so. And google should release a concrete expanation on what is the basis for the PR leak system.

 

Question for all you Guru's this sounds pretty logical to me as I added a news feed to my site which added about 30 pages of semi-relevant info to my site, but as these are RSS feeds they all have links to the full stories, 2 days after adding this I have dropped out of the top 10 for all my keywords

The problem is my users like the news feature, can I put something in my .htaccess or on my template like a nofollow? will this decrease my outbound links?

 

Lets post on matt cuts blog and ask him

 

Very interesting.

I have experienced something similar. I think RSS feeds are a bad thing for a site anyways, as they are so abused by spammy no content types of sites where the lazy webmaster sets up a site and lets it run on feeds with the hope that they will get indexed for next to no work.

I think this might be something we have to accept as a necessary evil, as they need to do something to de-index all the garbage content that is out there.

 

I didn't actually do it, I just wanted to scare him a bit
