I totally agree.

Give credit where credit is due and link to good content when you find it.

That is quite a compliment coming from what I consider one of the best writers (style and content) that I read! Thanks man!

I have to say bro that I am pretty excited about the fact that you stopped by to comment on my blog, I always visit blogs of my contributors and honestly 75% of the time I hate the blog. I like your writing style and how you present your content here, bottom line I’m happy I added your site to my reader.

Keep killing it bro.

I have heard matt cutts say that part of google’s algo recognizes good out going links and it helps too, so outgoing links are definitely important too

Good point, and that includes letting those links get into your comments as well (spammy site links).

Linking out is a great strategy. Not only for the points mentioned above. But it also lends credibility to a story or fact. It shows that this is not you sucking things out of your thumb, but you can back up your argument with evidence.

What I like about what you said is that it is all about giving your readers the best possible experience you can. Who cares if you link to your competitors, as long as it benefits your readers. I like.

One thing of caution though. Don’t fall into the trap of linking to so called bad neighbourhoods, you know, Link farms, Gambling sites. It is my understanding that Google penalises this type of linking and you could get banned by association.

Bring on the criticism, funny how it’s okay for people to criticize directly at me on here but should I criticize people in general, my remarks get removed. The point is I don’t have to justify myself to anyone. I didn’t give him a link because I am not getting caught up in excessive cross linking. My website doesn’t have comments because no one wants to read a bunch of trash like this. The articles speak for themselves, I don’t care about anyones 2 cents, all y’alls can save it for your kid’s college fund, because most bloggers are just wannabe SEOs anyways.

It is a debate because some people still see your site as a balloon filled with water, and every link out creates a leak letting out precious PR (PageRank), and it simply isn’t true.

I warned you his writing style is unique, Will is a friend and colleague, my main point was that he got PR to a site that literally had only outgoing links, so don’t be afraid to link out.
