Chauncey: Yeah, I can. First of all, outbound links are links that link away from your website to somewhere else. Their main question is, do they make a positive impact?

Joe: As a business owner, I would wonder this, and I answer this question to my clients often. I don't want people to leave my website; I want to stay on my website and buy from me. So is it helpful to link them away from my website somewhere else?

Chauncey: And at the risk of sounding rude, ultimately, as a business owner, the little things that you want are irrelevant. What you want is success.

The answer is it does help you. You have a primary goal and that is for your customers to give you their money either by purchasing your goods or buying your services. Having a primary goal implies that there is a secondary one. The secondary goal of businesses is for your visitors to go about their merry way across the internet. They used you as part of the highway.
