It is the tendency of most SEO’s to avoid linking to other relevant websites, as they think by doing so they are doing nothing but voting their potential rival and they fear to loose their potential visitors on their personal websites. So they are only in a mood to acquire valuable links for their websites. Though acquiring quality links will no doubt increase your site’s status, but outbound links also help you rank well in SEO as it satisfy one of Google’s algorithm to rank your site.

What does outbound linking do for you?

While linking to relevant page of other website, a SEO expert is doing 2 things. It is the way of casting a vote to the credibility of that site and in turn doing SEO for own site by increasing the relevancy to the Search Engines.

Because if we would consider from the Google Crawler’s point of view then the scenario stands showing our own site’s benefit.

While Google Crawler” crawls to your own site and notice some quality outbound links there, then it will be much easier for search engines to understand in what relevance your website fits most and rank your website accordingly.
This is all because Google has already authenticated the site you are pointing to, so it has become easier for Google to understand more quickly what your website is all about.

BUT few care factors are there while out bounding ….

  • The links should be kept relevant ( linking to irrelevant page of other sites will affect negatively)
  • Be selective about the sites you are linking to, sites with higher PR is advisable. Linking to spam site cause your site to be considered spamming too & affect negatively to the health of your site.
  • Using appropriate keywords while hyper linking is must and ads positive result.
  • Build a separate page for outbound links because sometimes those cause dilution of self page rank.
  • Take care that such actions will be done sparingly otherwise it will be considered as link farming or Black hat SEO
