I am well acquainted about inbound links but I don’t have much knowledge of outbound links. So if anybody knows about outbound links then please let me know.
Ya I am not too sure about the outbound links, but if I were to put outbound links on my website, I would put highest quality links.
Well I can't say if it REALLY helps, but I do it anyway. Your website probably looks more legitimate for Google AND it can be useful for your visitors.
Outbound links (to legitimate sites) is a natural part of presenting quality content and providing a good user experience. Do things for the user, not the SE bots.
Just make your outbound links worthwhile, don't just throw a bunch on there so they are there. Link to quality, higher PR sites and make sure they are relevant to your content. You might end up getting some quality backlinks out of the deal too.
Linking to high quality sites (outbound links) is o.k. What is detrimental is linking to low /bad quality sites e.g. porn sites, "bad neighbourhoods" etc.
Links to quality sites are valued by both visitors and search engines. Avoid linking to "bad neighbourhoods". But don't overdo it, it is better to have just four or five quality links per page or post than one hundred.
I read about it could help your ranking if you link to a really relevant site so you could put your keywords in the link that way your content will be more stuffed.
Outbound links to authority / quality websites on your blog / website can boost your organic rankings in Google and other search engines
Outbound links are also important in increasing traffic to our site. But remember they should be quality links paste in perfect category related to the site.
Outbound links are helpful for our site. these are those bounds which we put on other sites. These are important step which helps a lot in seo process.
No. Provide quality links to reputable sites, but do not use your own keywords, as in that case you are strengthening the competition (the anchor text -in this case, your keywords- is associated to the linked site, NOT to YOUR site!). Example: If your keyword is "multilingual websites" and you want to reference my site, you should write for example: "issues related to multilingual websites can be found in the SEO Translator blog". Thus, you would link to me but retain your keywords. However, if you write: "issues related to multilingual websites can be found in the SEO Translator blog" then you would credit ME for the keyword "multilingual websites". (BTW, that's ok for me )
