Outgoing Link Strategy

Looking for a good strategy for outgoing links

[RobinL]

I've done very minimal outgoing links on my content pages in the past. I know that Google values outgoing links. I was thinking of adding them to my pages, though I would like some suggestions at good strategies. I have very long pages, sometimes 8-9 pages of printed content. I was thinking I would add them at the bottom? Is there any good tips on link text that people have?

The 'ideal situation' that was mentioned a few times in this thread that "The ideal situation is to have no outbound links and loads of inbound links". This would seem to hold very true, for example, Microsoft would have very few links pointing to external sites, yet would have millions pointing inward to it.

That depends on what kind of site. I couldn't imagine DMOZ.ORG without outbound links.

No of course not, I am speaking of Web sites excluding search engines, directories etc.

I think it helps any site with a lot of useful reciprocal links to categorize them and put them on separate pages.
