How can they help - do you mean if they see it and decide to link back
to me?

Hm... yes thats a good point; however, I don't know how that could be
operationalised.

That's probably true. However, I had some outbound links to do with my
site's statistics and html validation on every page, which I could
easily neutralise in my ssi-file.

That's true.

Your site is about Spanish right? Those links should have link text(anchor
text) to the other pages with Spanish or something related to it. Link text
is weighed more than normal text. Your page will be more related or relevant
to Spanish also because it will be leading to more content.

Site stats and validation....just remove them. You don't need to put them in
you page. For what reason would you want to do it? One, your stats could get
indexed....then those spam referrers will get links. Unless you have the
rel=no follow...but it might be already indexed. Two, it is easy for someone
to see if your site validates or not...and your visitors are interested in
what your site is about not if it validates or not.

Thank you that's helpful, I didn't know that. I only thought it would
add relevance to the sites I linked _to_.

Your are welcome and it helps the other sites also. 🙂 You both benefit for
relevance if the sites are related.

Yes, so what's the point of having 100 (!) unrelated links on a webpage?

Maybe you should try to stick to the thread instead of making things up
(oh, wait, you can't).

Maybe you never wrote a paper in your entire life, but citations are
normally related to the paper.

John, I feel sorry for you. You are in the manic behavior huh?

You need to stop twisting what people are saying! (oh wait you can't, that
is part of your behavior!)

Like I said, they get you credit for being a site people can go to to
find links to associated sites.

No, you also get credit for doing the linking.

Well, that's a good thing.

Good if Google actually evaluates if the links seem relevant.

You were again stating the obvious. You either do that, or make things up.

You have no clue about what that is.

Google has to evaluate pretty much everything it can get its hands on
otherwise it would have no way of distinguishing between sites.

And you were again not following what was said and twisting.

Hmm, let's look back at what I said. The OP asked *"I just recently learned
about how outbound links can affect the total PR of a site."*

I said:
*"Yeah, not that much though. It all depends how much you have going out."*

Roy said:
*"I never knew linking was a 'crime'. Pages without links are poorer to the
reader because they are a narrow. Imagine yourself a paper without
citations."*

Hmm, let's see he was referring to a web page like a paper. And stating he
didn't know linking was a crime.

So, I said in reference to a paper also(Which I have wrote some papers BTW,
and wrote some BOI's(Branch Operating Instruction) for the USAF), and that I
didn't say linking was a crime.
*"Never said it was a crime. Say you have a paper with 100 non related links
going out. Not good for your paper for someone wanting to read it or someone
wanting to publish it."
"So, it depends on how much you have going out!"*

Then you have to come and twist things around! A website is not always
indexed because of certain things. It could be to many links going to bad
areas etc. Even a paper with loads of non related c**p in it isn't worth
reading or publishing.(Although, I just seen a paper today with 45lb
toothpick woman marrying a 450 man. The photo was fixed! LOL).

It depends on how many links are on pages etc. , and there are sites with
loads of non relevant crappy links that aren't going anywhere!

And that is not obvious to the OP or he wouldn't have been asking period!

Is this a true statement? Yes. Did you miss the smiley? Yes.
