My question - do you recommend hosting a blog carnival on your topic niche? As I notice, Blog carnival page gets a kind of exposure to SE. please advice Lining to Authorities - I haven't done it so far as i wanted to get organic traffic (Now the site receives 2000 page views a day) so it look like the right time to start linking out to the authority sites on my niche. I take your word and start linking out.

I thought linking out reduces the PR of your page and I guess it does. Didn't really think about the positive aspect of it you mention here though.. makes sense that if google considers your linking neighbourhood then if you link out to quality sites that should benefit your own ranking too. Does it matter if these links are nofollow or dofollow links from your site though? Hi.. thanks for clarifying this – I’m a bit of a newbie at SEO.

I tried it after commenting and it transferred to that page, instead of opening a new browser window. Try it in your Squidoo lenses and on your website, and I guarantee it works. I use it every day.

I always use html so a new page opens, though. After they explore the link, they can close it out and return to my page, which is still open. Just insert target="new" inside your a href bracket and it'll work fine. For example: <a href="http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/seedplanter" rel="nofollow">Seedplanter</a> See? Wasn't that easy?

I'm always linking out to other folks sites and blogs and such. I guess I kind of make a hobby out of posting other peoples links on my sites. I had just written a post about this yesterday.
