An outbound-link (OBL) is a link from your website to another website. Outbound links can add value to your site by providing useful information to users without you having to create the content. It is difficult for a single website to be comprehensive about a subject area. At the same time outbound links are a potential jumping off point for users and also provide PageRank for the target page. Some search engines algorithms actually place value on sites with many outbound links. These are dubbed authority or expert sites.

It is increase the utility of your site. outbound links are value to your prospects/customers. For your prospects/customers, outbound links build association between your site and provided resources/outbound links. Thus, you'd be very careful with outbound link selection. You are bound to have quite a few outbound's if your site weren't the primary resource for the topic.

When you placed a link of another website from which user can move on that particular website than that link is considered as outbound link.

Outbound links are the links which points to another website. We create it using link exchange.

It is difficult for a single website to be comprehensive about a subject area. At the same time outbound links are a potential jumping off point for users and also provide PageRank for the target page. Some search engines algorithms actually place value on sites with many outbound links. These are dubbed authority or expert sites.
Outbound links send visitors away from your web site. Attitudes towards outbound links vary considerably among site owners. Some site owners still link freely. Some refuse to link at all, and some provide links that open in a new browser window.

Opponents of outbound linking argue that it risks losing time and money from site visitors. This can be a large risk if a site is facing high customer acquisition costs.

Proponents argue that providing high quality references actually enhances the value of a site and increases the chance of return visitors.
Be careful about linking to bad neighbourhoods. These include LinkFarms and heavily optimized sites. These may get your site penalized. Be wary about any site with zero page rank or that can't be found in search engines. Check that it has not been banned for some reason. A single link to a bad neighbourhood is unlikely to cause problems but combined with other factors it could be viewed in a bad light by search engines.

It is possible to open outbound links in a new browser window using the HTML target="_new" operator

<anchor target="_new">

but many users and web designers don't like this as it breaks the natural back and forward control provided by the browser.

Thanks.............

Outbound links are links that exist or are put in a particular website's article or blog for an external source. Though a feature that has many advantages, in recent times many search engines have acknowledged outbound links to decrease a site's rankings on a search engine directory. For a company that needs a high page rank on its website outgoing links are recommended to be used with discretion. Citing credible sources within outbound links on the other hand has been proven to be a good way to increase the quality of traffic. This is true for almost every website that is offering new products and services.
