Make links to internel pages is not outbound links and it wont harm to any site... I thing this is issue from SEO may be not doing proper SEO on th esite...
thanks for the story I have noticed search results sporadically bouncing out to near zero and then for no apparent reason coming back several weeks later Are the algorithms changing or is this simply an artifact ?
The lesson learned here is if you're already ranking high, dont mess around!!!! I figured adding those links on my homepage would get me more traffic because more keywords I still think having tons of links devalued my homepage, and passed power to the subpages....... and since the subpages had the targeted keywords in the Title Tag.... those now ranked ahead of the homepage
I got my ranking back but it only last for two days! Now the traffic decreased again for about 90%+++
