PageRank "leak" is a misnomer because you will not lose any PR due to the link, unless the link leads to a site in a "bad neighborhood" or is bouncing back to the same site (internal link). If the outbound links are simply reciprocal links, then neither site will gain any advantage. |
That is not correct at all. When you link out you pass
PR and it is divided by the pages you are linking to.
And if the link is reciprocal both sites can gain from it. One site more than the other.

Where are you getting this from?

Are you just making this up as you go along?

Content wins for the long tail but you want rank for a competitive keyword without links.
