Speaking of rehashing [a persistent but erroneous myth]. What is wrong with reciprocal links? Especially relevant reciprocal links?
I am always in favour of relevant reciprocal links. They will always have importance, just because of their genuine meaning (Recommended sites or links). For increasing link popularity reciprocal links are BEST AND CHEAP.
I think I have very good example about the topic: site name: http://www.jkcpublishing.net/ PR4 Created: 24-nov-1999 Not listed in Dmoz.org No Alexa Trafic report back link - 18 (google.com) original 147 back link Only 11 outbound link [had reciprocate]... All outbound link Page rank is <3 Site has following SERPs: #9 SERP on key-phrase "Custom Web Site Design" in google.com ------------------ Unique Backlines 147 Anchor text occurrences 90 times not found 39 times web site design & hosting service - jkc publishing, inc 37 times custom web site design & hosting service - jkc publishing, inc 36 times custom web site design & hosting service - jkc publishing, inc 10 times timeout 2 times http:www.jkcpublishing.net 2 times www.jkcpublishing.net 1 times home 1 times site map 1 times preview 1 times jkc publishing, inc. custom web site design & hosting service ------------------------ note: max inbound link Page rank are <4 Two thing is very much clear: 1) Outbound link do not carry any weightes in PR as wel as SERP 2) Power of Anchor text. Thanks
Yes.... I agree. Infact the I am feeling that power of anchor text is what to use for fast (in single crawl) and persisting results in SERPs
This a bit off topic of outbound links - there is a discussion that I started about the merits of anchor text.
I agree that PageRank is not affected plus or minus by outbound links. Otherwise innumerable web directories that contain innumerable outbound links would NEVER have been able to retain a PageRank that is greater than PR0.
I have a site with PR6. And I have offer of $50 per month per link on home page. And $35 per month per link on inner page. I am thinking to go ahead, should I ?? (The traffic diverted from those links will not that big because of site design and guys wants to have links for getting good back link only and not traffic)
