Do Outbound Links Affect PR?

Good Afternoon,

Could anyone please tell me if a sites outbound links affect their PR? For example, if a site has more outbound links than inbound - will this have a detrimental effect?

I provide links to several pages that don't return them to me, they have a use for the customer (only slight) and I'm thinking of scrapping them unless I'm sure they cause no harm.

Thank you

Dean

Re: Do Outbound Links Affect PR?

Yes. It doesn't really matter who links to you, but you must be very careful with who you link to. A link is a vote of confidence, and you don't want to promote sites of poor quality or no content...

Ok, I think I'll visit all the links and remove any that aren't of good quality. Thanks for your time Spinal007.

Re: Do Outbound Links Affect PR?

Yes, they do! I would suggest you to link anyone based on content relevancy and not to exchange links.
