Unsolved How to Improve OBL Score for My Site?
-
I've been working on optimizing my website, and I recently noticed that my Outbound Link (OBL) score isn't as good as I'd like it to be. I understand that OBL scores can impact my site's overall SEO performance.
Could anyone share tips or best practices on how to improve the OBL score of my site? What should I focus on when adding outbound links, and how many are ideal to maintain a healthy OBL score?
Also, are there any tools or reports in MOZ that can help me monitor and improve my OBL score effectively?
I am new to blogging. your help will be appreciated

Improving your site's OBL (Outbound Link) score can be done by focusing on quality over quantity when linking externally, ensuring relevance, and periodically auditing and updating your outbound links to maintain relevance and authority. Additionally, consider using nofollow attributes for links that are not crucial for SEO purposes to retain more link equity.

As a website developer (you can see my work here), I've spent time optimizing outbound links (OBL) to improve SEO. Here are some key ways to boost your OBL score:
Link to Relevant & High-Quality Sites: Don't just link for the sake of linking. Connect to reputable websites that complement your content and provide value to your users.
Contextual Links: Integrate outbound links naturally within your content, using them to support specific points or provide further information. Avoid random link dumps.
Variety of Links: Link to a diverse range of sources, including industry leaders, academic journals, and relevant news articles.
