A Question About Link Trades

I read somewhere that when Google sees a page with more inbound links than outbound it considers that page "important" because it has more pages linking to it.

That's a good reminder to not trust everything you read.

It makes sense to me unless someone can tell me why it doesn't.

I've built pages with far more outgoing links then incoming links which are noticible SE traffic pullers. Instead of relying on lots of cheap incoming links those pages rely on a few key backlinks and nothing more.

Also, I've noticed some pages get a sudden favorable treatment from Google for a short while after I added one way outgoing links to "high quality" pages. That doesn't tell me linking out will get me SE traffic, but it does tell me that I shouldn't be afraid of adding relevant outgoing links.

That being said, I think adding one way incoming links from your freesites IS a nice little SE bot attention getter, but having fresh content show up on our LL gives them something to actually chew on. Just $0.02

I have an SSI recip table on about 400 older AVS sites that links back to 5 of my main sites and a few friends sites, about 75% are one-way, and it seems to boost my PR pretty quickly on the new sites I add to the mix, but that's about it. Doesn't help rankings for keywords, phrases, the important shit. Some of the one-way sites have high PR, some don't, some have good rankings, some don't, and the two don't appear to be related. I don't spend much time thinking about it
