maybe you leaked some page rank outside your site. did you rel=nofollow it?

There are good reasons for nofollowing an affiliate link... but the idea of not leaking PageRank outside your site, IMO, is not a good way to think about linking.

Not wanting to take this discussion off topic, but I couldn't let this one go. There's a new discussion about "leaking" PageRank here...

How do I protect the ranking of a page with 30 outbound links?
