SEO Outbound Link Relevance
You know search engines evaluate a site based primarily on the links going to it (inbound links). The PageRank of the sites on which the inbound links are located, and the anchor text of the links, matter a lot. But if you're like most webmasters, you don't appreciate the value of outbound links.
Outbound Link Relevance & Anchor Text
The clearest way that outbound links can affect SEO is through their anchor text.
Outbound links' anchor text affects a page's search engine ranking in much the same way that inbound links' anchor text affects search engine ranking. Anchor text of inbound links is arguably the most important factor in search engine rankings for particular keywords. For instance, if ”fuzzy keyword” is in the anchor text of a link to a webpage, that webpage may well appear in SERPs for ”fuzzy keyword” even if neither the word ”fuzzy” nor ”keyword” appears anywhere on your site.
Outbound links' anchor text works the same way, though it is slightly
less powerful. If you have a particular keyword in the anchor text of a link on a webpage, that webpage will likely show up in search engine results Comments |
