    You guys think it matters the quality of the outgoing links?

    For example, if your site had 1000 PR7 and PR8 Outgoing links, do you think you would be higher rated PR or get more traffic, than if all your outgoing links linked to PR0 and PR1 sites?

    Just a question :)

    First if you reach a level of 1000 PR7 and PR8 Outgoing links on a Directory, you will have reached a milestone, where your Directory will more than likely be very well established and a known brand name in the Directory Sector.

    Thats my opinion as over 1000 PR7 and PR8 sites will have paid to list with your Directory :)

    excellent to know though guys!

    Thank you much, that it makes 0 difference if you have good or bad sites. Well, as long as their not Adult or Piracy related I'm sure.

    On PR doesn’t make a difference some theories are contrary to this thought.

    What I think everyone agrees having links to bad sites kills your user experience, and engines spot this and they will penalize you.

    Adult sites or gambling doesn’t mater, bad and god sites matter.
    So what is bad sites, sites with no content, full of ads, pop-ups, redirects etc. Get it!

    Exactly!
    But isn't it hard to find 1000 PR7 or PR8 sites? :(I would like to add some to my directories.

    Contrary to popular belief, relevant outgoing links have helped me....

    Most people dont know the power of outgoing links and think they pass along PR, and thus reduce a site/page rank. Not in my experience...


    Food for thought kids-:cool:

    In my opinion, and just to let you know I have probably not been doing this as long as some of you, but I think it does matter with at least the quality of the sites, pr is important and pr in some respects add a trust factor to your site. I also think that not all pr0 or pr1 sites are bad, but there are many of them that are lacking in quality and content. But to be a well rounded site you have to have a mixture of all degree of pr sites. This is just my opinion.
    Thanks cindy

    Well Played... I wrote an app that gets the highest PR Sites for that category or sub-category and auto-adds them to my site to that category on my site. Grabs the Title, URL, and Description. God it's good being a programmer, lol...
