Linking to the authority websites means engagement into the particular issues, which is more natural than keeping the blog/website reluctant to link out.But of course this should not be understood as "giving a go" for link-farming, which is obviously not so good from SEO point of view.

I mostly organize links by type, as “family links”, “online buddies”, “previous posts”, etc. I hope that’s useful too. Anyway, thanks for the tips!

What you said is right. Her strategy is not always getting high PR backlinks or always dofollow links but to get backlinks from internal pages of those domains with very high PRs.

As you may have noticed, I do forward linking (from old to new) only if it's a series of posts like the current one. From the footer though I am linking as high as 10 posts for SEO and marketing purpose. But linking from posts will make sure that, beyond SEO, it is visible in the feed as well.<strong>@Richael</strong>, you are right. Relevant outbound links - especially to popular blogs - will only increase your visibility because you are in the good neighbourhood. As for the forums backlinks, well they are good but you need huge number of them.... @Kim, yep linking to older posts is something that I need to do more often.

@Nihar, Any circular linking or three way linking is not going to confuse the spiders :) In fact, if your pages participate in three way linking it’s supposed to have double the benefit (though I don’t know how to prove it).

And I used prawl intentionally :)

I would Like to stress the importance of internal linking, especially to old posts. The bots usually crawl the first 300 (or 100 or all depending what SE) links and therefore internal linking is useful for re crawling older relevant posts that usually get a small boost out of it.

This is a great post. It will help lot of ppl who may get confused between follow,index and nofollow and no index.

I would like to ask one more thing. what if we have posts and has recursive linking. for ex:
Post A -> Post B -> Post C -> Post A

What will then Search Bot do?

Please correct the spelling on the third line. prawl to crawl.
