Citation:

• A citation is a reference to an entity. Citation: quote, mention, reference. Citation in the context of the web usually means a HREF link to a location. A Citation count is the count of references to a page on the internet.

I use a lot of citations on my websites, and the reason is really two-fold. There are some theories that this does help your page rank, so I do it. But the MAIN reason I link is just because I want to make references that are easy for my readers to see where I got my information and go straight to the source if they want more information than I provide. It’s just some extra validation to what I throw out there.
