Your exercise seems to makes sense based on the fact that search engines themselves link to hundreds of millions of websites and don't get as many reciprocal links; yet, they still have high PageRank (i.e. Google's PR10 on its home page).

It's good to work through all of the rumors that are flying around the SEO forums. God knows, if you followed them all your head would be spinning!

So, are you saying that it's okay to link to as many sites as your heart desires, and it won't affect your PageRank? Based on that approach, are you implying that the only way to gain higher PageRank is to get inbound links from high PageRank pages - regardless of the number of outbound links on your site?

Along the same lines, will it hurt your site to have, say, 100 outbound links on a page? Is there any truth to this "link farm" idea that says you should only have 25 links on a page?

Thanks for clearing things up for me!
