if there is two sites A,B in the same nich. A have 1k backlinks and B have 200 backlinks, given the quality of both backlinks are simlar. but A have 80 outbound links and B have 10 Bound links. which one is better for get a link from?
1000 - 80 200 - 10 1000:200 = 5 80:10 = 8 So it's better to get a backlink from B. However we can't compare inbound and outbound links just like that so basically nobody could say what's better except Google.
I'll probably take it from B. There are other factors too- traffic and quality of the sites they link out to, for example. SEO isn't mathematics, it is more of common sense.
I'll surely get it from B. Due to huge number of outbound links -site A might have already drained its link juice. So.....
