Outbound link is a key element in search engine marketing. Outbound links are composed in HTML code. An outbound link is defined as a link that directs users to another site. E.g. when site A links to site B, site A has an outbound link and site B has an inbound link. Outbound link send visitors away from your website. Some site owners still link freely. Some refuse to link at all, and some provide links that open in a new browser window. Outbound links can add value to your site by providing useful information to users without you having to create the content. The number and quality of the outbound links is of great importance. What is more important when creating outbound links is the quality of the site that is linked? Fewer high quality links are much more valuable than numerous low quality links. There are several items to consider when determining the quality of a link. First, links that have been for a longer time and have a good standing with search engines are looked upon with more favor. Another important thing that determines the credibility is the domain name extension. Links with extensions like .gov, .edu, and .org have more credibility because of their content. Links like .info and .biz has less credibility. Links are the skeletal system of the web, without them, it cannot stand.
