How do you define outbound links?

I count "clickable areas". A HPA can have many slices so it doesn't make sense to count <a> tags. If the supporting (linked) text for a banner isn't immediately below/above I might count it as two. It's a judgement call.

Me too...but I know from my free site submitting days that at least one script out there does count <a> tags, because it would not take a submission I had built using multiple <a> tags to produce different link and mouseover colors in one block of text -- stopped at the script submission end, not denied by the owner if that wasn't clear.

And like Useless I treat hubs as an outbound link.
