Hello all, I am currently looking into building a website and I came across the term "outbound link" and it seems to me it has to be handled with care. As I am a novice, can anyone enlighten me about "outbound Link" as I intent to build my site using Wordpress. Just want to avoid landmines while building my project so all advises are greatly appreciated! Terence
They are simply links from your website to another. Link to pages you genuinely like and don't sell links and you should be fine
@sarahk pretty much summed it up. In the SEO world there are "internal links" and "external (outbound) links"...An internal link would be a link from your website to your website. Basically, linking to your "About me" page from your homepage would be an internal link. External (aka: outbound) links would be a link from your website to a website on a different domain. For example, if you had a link on your homepage that went to Google.com - that would be an outbound link.
Outbound links are the links on your website for 3rd party websites. It will not benefit you but it will build links for the 3rd party website and improve their SEO.
Hi, If you are looking to build a website try to choose your theme, plugins carefully from trusted developer and see their reviews. Nowadays lot of developers use outbound links in coding which refers their websites without user acknowledgement. check whether outbound link is related to developer website or support, if not then you need to do something.
