I'm new here and have a question

[justamom]

Hi, I'm Quin and Ive just started a website within the last month. I have about 50 inbound links now and over 100 outbound ones. All site related. My question is what exactly do i want to avoid when linking? I know FFA sites are bad. And link farms are bad. Is there more? Thanks in advance!

Welcome to WebmasterWorld.

Well, assuming that you're looking for enhanced PR then I'd say don't select sites to link to that have a lower PR than your own.

Personally, I'm not from that school. I feel that if the link adds something to either your site, or theirs...go for it. Quality links does not equate to PR as some might expect and I've seen some real crappy pages with decent PR.

So, if it's PR you want....go with PR.

If quality links is your bag, then by all means link to whomever you wish.

As time goes on, there will be others who have more to add.

Nothing further to add... Good advice.

You can link to low-PR pages without problems, but be sure to avoid pages or sites that show no PR at all, they might be banned without obvious reasons like being in a link farm.
