When adding outbound links to a site, what kind of effect does it have on the weight of the site's pagerank value. I'm not talking about the actual outbound value, but does the value of the original site change because it has an irrelevant outbound link? I'm trying to get the sense of relevancy. I know it's always better to have relevant outbound/inbound links, but what kind of effect do they actually have? For all SES, not just Google.
If you have inbound link in respect of outbound link, it worth, otherwise that will help to reduce the popularity of your site..
If you do not have any outboud link............[better] if you have only INBOUND link ...........[Nothing is better than that] If you have only OUTBOUND link ...........[Worst] if you have INBOUND and OUTBOUND link, i.e. reciprocal link [Good]
Hhhmm... so your saying that sites with no outgoing links rank better? From my experience sites that link (outgoing) to highly - related sources rank better. a site with content and related links are lot better.... IMO. Also from a users point of view, If you go to a site about HTML tutorials... then at the end of the tutorials there is a list of other html tutorials, then that is abviously better for the user.
All your inbound or outbound link should have good and relevent content. If you are getting inbound or giving outbound link to any spam or bad site, you will be lossing your respect on net. which make your position down in all search engine.
They link for the user point of view, If you see from spider point of view the senerio wiil be differ. Pr calculation on the basis of cross-link, back link and also outbound link.. so in that case outbound link will be treated as minus point..
The "value"? Not sure what you mean. PR doesnt change. The "definition" of the site in terms of what is and what is not relevant will change as the page content changes - as you add outbound links on one or more different themes, the theme of your page will shift in that/those directions. No. No. Probably, yes. No.
You mean to say that related site outbound link count plus on PR calculation.. Suppose I have a Travel related site.. and I given outboud link of top 20 travel related site, and without having inbound link I could get Page Rank.
No. By definition, PageRank requires inbound links and is not affected plus or minus by outbound links.
I was 99% sure of this 2 months ago. But, at Pubcon someone suggested to me that this might not be true. I've since been running some tests (only 2-3 week old sites) and it *seems* that the relevancy of outbound links is making a difference. Now, it could just be that the existence of the outbound links bumped the on-page score higher than the other site in the test and this is what accounts for the difference. To nail this down I am going to do some new tests where I link to highly themed sites but with no anchor text so I shouldn't be affecting the on-page score. At this point I'd say I'm still a skeptic that the outbound links matter (other than the anchor text helping in on-page scoring), but I'm now more open to the possibility. In a couple of months I'll hopefully have a better read on it.
I have lots of example, they all have >6 page rank , do not have any outbound ink, but all have inbound link also they have very good SERPS on competitive Key-phrase.. you totally wrong that outboud link play any type Of added advantage to get good PR.

Excuse me? Re-read what I posted please. I did NOT say that outbound links add to PR. I said the opposite. Then go read your own posts. You were the one taking that position previously...
I think we should think by common sense. If outbound links are there which are going to highly reputed site, it simply means better. What I have seen is giving link to PR9 or PR10 helps (in PR and SERPs). It gives a sense that this perticular site has very good friend circle and hence given more value by search engines. [ No one knows what exact algorithms, GYM are running] Think by common sense and keep on doing experiments
Common sense or not, I think those of you who think that outgoing links add to PageRank better go find the original paper where PageRank is defined. One last time: PageRank is determined by incoming links. PageRank has nothing to do with outgoing links.
Stop talking about the PR because Minstrel's dead right and there's no doubt about it. There is IMHO still a question about whether the url (not anchor) on outbound links can help your serps. I had never believed it to matter but recently someone at Pubcon that I have a lot of respect for told me he believed it does matter. I attempted a test but the test was flawed and I'm just starting a new test which will take at least a few weeks and probably longer to see any worthwhile results. The tests I did (these aren't really just 2 sites but for ease of discussion I'll discuss as if they were): Sites A & B - identical for all intents and purposes, but site A had the addition of 3 outbound links to relevant themed "authority" sites. In this test, the A sites are consistently outperforming the B sites. So, at first it seemed like maybe the outbound links to themed authority sites really did help. But, I have such a hard time believing that, I looked for another explanation, and it was easy to find: I used strong anchors in the links and maybe it was just the on-page optimization of those anchors that improved the SERPS of A over B. In other words, it may have been the anchor text and not the actual url destination that made the difference. So, the revised test I am running with new sites, let's call them C and D, is as follows: Attempt to keep all factors of C & D identical with the following exception: C will have 3 outbound links to non-themed sites and D will have 3 outbound links to themed authority sites - but, both sites will use the same anchor text. I think this will be a much better test and my bet is that this time I'll see no consistent difference in the SERPs between the 2 sites. But, you never know ...
outgoing links ar good if they are related and not reciprocal, this is the idea of an useful web, good content and eventually links to other related good content.
