Outbound Links:
- A link that points away from your website.
Outbound links are a great way to receive some link love from the recipients, but be careful. The more outbound links are on a webpage, the less value the links have. You don’t want to make the outbound links more attractive than your own content or visitors will not stay on your site long.
A good tip when placing outbound links is to make sure they open in another window or tab instead of redirecting the visitor completely away from your website. To do this, add TARGET=”_blank” within the HREF tag in the HTML to open the link in a new window.
