Question Will outlinking to lesser sites pull down my PR?

I just read somewhere that having many outgoing links will lower my PR? Is that because Google might think it's a banner farm or full of spam?

Any outgoing links will lower your link-power. It won't lower your pagerank per se... plus, forget about pagerank.. they are no longer important.. haven't been for more than a year now...

don't have more than a hundred outgoing links, unless your site has a good reason for it and is established.

What about blogs who link to the source on every post? Their link power must be dismal.

You will only lower your rankings if you link to off-topic sites. You can link to a million sites if you want, but each destination will get 1/1,000,000 of a vote, so not useful to them.

There is no such thing as PageRank leakage - it is a loose expression used to convey the above.

Your PR is based on who and how many link to you. A million off-topic links won't do you much good but ten on-topic sites with good PR will help to raise yours.
