Another False Google Fact
People take this shrewd piece of information as fact and it is pretty absurd. Some people think by giving external links that it hurts their own PR. External links from your site has nothing to do with your PR. If you have 10 external links on a PR5 site you are dividing the PR you send out by 10. If you give a hundred links you are dividing it by 100. Yet this does not harm your PR, you are not giving yours away, you use your clout to vote for other sites. Nothing more. so by having more links your vote does not count as high but you do not hurt yourself in anyway. You could trade 10,000 links and still have great PR, your site would be full of crap and look bad but it would hurt you none..
