What is PR Leakage?
I have read this statement somewhere:;

"Make Sure that you don't have Outbound and Inbound link on the same page....or else there will be PR Leakage." Is it Ture

If you did this, how would you navigate between pages of your site?

This is yet another bizarre statement with no backing whatsoever by a so-called SEO expert who doesn't know his/her *** from a hole in the ground.

First of all, PageRank is one of a whole bunch of factors that make up search engine rankings. Its importance is becoming more and more overstated.

Second, the "leak" caused by an outbound external link would be divided amongst all the PR leaks caused by all outbound links, external or internal.

Third, linking to a USEFUL resource can help both your users and search engines as they get an idea of what your site is about and what type of character it has based on the sites it links to.

Note the word "useful" in that sentence. It's the key word in that sentence. Link to something that is useful and your users will thank you for it.

So while PR leakage may be possible, it's not anything worth worrying about when it comes to the larger picture.

Sure, people make a big fuss about pagerank and so on but so long as you site is search engine friendly (i.e. Uses friendly urls, is not Flash based etc.) then there's no need to worry too much about SEO: you normal linking activities shouldn't affect your google rank (unless you have about 5000 links )

Could you explain that a little better? I thought an outbound link was a link on a page that points out to a different site, and an inbound link is a link on a different site that points at your page. By definition, it's not possible to have both of these on the same page.

LMAO

AND ... because search engines rank pages not sites every link on any given page is outbound.

<a href="#">Not this one</a>.

based on the title ask, i start to realise that leakage is possible in some situation. because i setup 8 sites for different testing on early this month, and some site perform much better than other. although the seo effort is more less the same. internal link and outgoing link to where, play some role as well. IMO

I knew I should have added a rider for named anchors

And this has what to do with PR??

It's perfectly normal, every site is different. Using the same formulaic approach to every site is a futile exercise.
The real skill (art) in SEO is knowing what to apply and how to apply it to any given page/site.

AND

PR doesn't leak, dissolve, dissipate, diminish, reduce, shrink, weep, seep, evaporate, escape or go down by linking out from a page.

You forgot: distill, decant or procreate...

Well if PR doesn't procreate, I guess it doesn't evolve, either, then. Which means it was intelligently designed. That actually matches up with what the history books say about Google having invented PR. And so if that's the case, there can't be any flaws obvious enough for it to leak out of.

Honestly, SEO experts are pretty smart. They convince people who run web sites of all kinds of rubbish, and then people are too confused to be able to compete.

Bulls**t baffles brains? In the SEO world? No way...I don't believe it.

In my opinion, the idea of PR Leakage is both strained and strange. The mathematical reality is that, on the page with outgoing links, the internal links are circulating just a little bit less PR to your other pages than they would have. This is just as a bucket in a ocean of PR, unless your site consists almost entirely of external links

What leakage?
This forum is PR6 and if leakage was a real issue, it mustve leaked itself to its death as every poster has outgoing links in their sig.

Tut Tut. There you go

Ruining a perfectly stupid myth with irrefutable logic.

Yeah, how dare you let facts interrupt a good SEO BS myth.
