Inbound and outbound Links

[prmptn]

what should be the strategy towards Inbound and outbound Links in the site to making page rank high.

[mjtaylor]

Do you mean the PageRank high? Or do you mean to rank highly in the SERPs? I will venture a guess of the latter.

I suggest you start with the stickies in the SE forum, such as: SEO, Where Do I Begin?. You'll find lots on links and navigation there.

And there are loads of excellent references and tutorials here: All you need for Search Engine Optimization (SEO).

I would be interested in knowing if anyone would suggest a good ratio of outbounds to inbounds that would show a balance. I use to see a difference on pages that had outbounds vrs only inbounds, in that the pages with the outbounds would rank a little higher. I just naturally put outbound links in where they benefit the site users and don't concern myself with the loss of link juice. But it would be a interesting thing to know.

Chuck, that's a question that I had myself, some time back, and I did a little research on it. I found a WIDE disparity of opinions on the question... anything from "two in for each one out", to "it doesn't matter". One thing that's never lacking in this industry, is a lot of different opinions.

From what I've seen, and from what Matt Cutts has said in his videos, I don't think that Google looks at the ratio, per se. Matt says, build your site for the user experience, and make sure your in and out links are valid, not spammy, and relevant. That is the approach I have used, simply focusing on the user experience. Perhaps I'm wrong, but for me, that's been a good approach.

Thanks for weighing in on that Doc.

A little off topic but I did alot of web 2.0 recently at a particular search term and it is no where to be found, which doesn't make alot of sense. Is there a particular SWAG on how many inbound links before you hit I am guessing some sort of roadblock filter. And if you do trip the filter is it fatal or just move back to the starting point?

Thanks Again.

Backlinks are very important because they are supposed to be a measure of the popularity of your site among the Web audience. It is necessary to say that not all backlinks are equal. There are good and bad backlinks. Good backlinks are from reputable places - preferably from sites with a similar theme. These links do boost search engine ranking. Bad backlinks come from suspicious places – like link farms – and are something to be avoided. Well, if you are backlinked without your knowledge and consent, maybe you should drop the Webmaster a line, asking him or her to remove the backlink.
If you are not heavily backlinked, don't worry - buying links is an established practice and if you are serious about getting to the top, you may need to consider it. But before doing this, you should consider some free alternatives.

First, look for suitable sites to backlink to you using the Backlinks Builder below. After you identify potential backlinks, it's time to contact the Web master of the site and to start negotiating terms. Sometimes you can agree to a barter deal – i.e. a link exchange – they will put on their site N links to your site and you will put on your site N links to their site - but have in mind that this is a bad, risky deal and you should always try to avoid it.

How would you avoid (bad) backlinks that are beyond your control? A good se shoul filter out the effect of such IBLs.

I have seen sites that get huge amounts of links like 15000 to a single page. I have received 2000 links but it is alot of work. How does anyone achieve that level of incoming links

[moonheart]

Outbound link should always be low and inbound link should be more for get higher rank on search engine.

I was going to delete this message because you seem to be posting for count, but on consideration I would prefer to let you know that your suggestion is incorrect.

Outbound links can establish the authority of a site. And there can be other instances in which outbound links might outnumber inbound links and not have a negative impact on SERPs.

Hi,
Inbound links are important to achieve good PR but also we need outbound links .We make sure that to get more inbound links from blog/site related to our category.

[janestewart]

Inbound links and outbound links both are important for a site. Outbound links determine the amount of PageRank juice you're giving a site you link to. If your site has 10 outbound links then your page's PR is divided by 10 that is by the number of outbound links on that page.

The OP has never clarified this or otherwise participated in this thread. Until that changes, I have to conclude that the question was not genuine, but a post for count.

[dorothykinder]

The number of inbound links to outbound links ratio should be around 70:30 as you need to have 70 inbound link sand 30 out bound links from your website to the website being exchanged with.

Where did you get this idea?

[jsimon]

what i know about ...there is no ratio combination in pagerank. links should be relevant. don't make your site for out going links. it should be for user experience.

[Xsecror]

There are a lot of paid and free courses on the net where you can learn what to do about Link Building, one good site for this information is: SeoMoz, there you can find GREAT free information about Link Building and other stuffs. That site also have some paid stuffs like SEO Guides but they're extremely expensive.

I recommend you to take a look at that site, is great for SEO Learning.

[Jom321]

I am following this thread very carefully as some good information is available here. and Xsecror thanks for the site name, checking it out and I like so far what I have seen.

Please do not pass along unverified information that someone you know told you. One of the reasons a forum works is because we get a chance to find out whether the members actually have experience and know what they are talking about. That's why we have rep points. If you are passing along information you heard, rather than learned from your years of experience, it would be better if you simply lurked.
