Why do this? in a sense its a little deceptive because some bots won’t pick it up as a link. The less outgoing links the more optimized your site is. Html allows for this. Its a little complicated, but if you read up on what the html href= is for you come to realize this piece of code is sometimes harmful.
Also an example of what not to do. I made this mistake and leanrt from it. I have one page with the extention /what_is_online_poker.html my link popularity for this page is zero. The PR for the page is 3.
I speculate that my url extension has stop words in it, such as, a, what ect…
I beleive stop words like I found on your site like “to” could pontentially damage your link popularity.
Most of these ideas I derived from intense study of Google, MSN, and Yahoo straight from the horses mouth.
I am mostly confused, these are the only answers I can come up with to explain why my site ranks high cosidering I went live I June 2005. My keywords for example, on going bonuses is in the the top ten on google out of 6 million pages. But this is happenning for all my keywords I used Microgaming Bonuses top ten on Google. The list goes on. Its all confusing to me.
But don’t be discouraged but taking the time to learn a few things for yourself goes a long way. Good luck buddy and remember my site has errors too! greek39
Greek, without ever seeing what you are talking about, much of this makes no sense to me at all.
I assume you are never talking about the site below.
