Link Hoarding
A method of trying to keep all your link popularity by not linking out to other sites, or linking out using JavaScript or through cheesy redirects.
Generally link hoarding is a bad idea for the following reasons:
many authority sites were at one point hub sites that freely linked out to other relevant resources
if you are unwilling to link out to other sites people are going to be less likely to link to your site
outbound links to relevant resources may improve your credibility and boost your overall relevancy scores
"Of course, folks never know when we're going to adjust our scoring. It's pretty easy to spot domains that are hoarding PageRank; that can be just another factor in scoring. If you work really hard to boost your authority-like score while trying to minimize your hub-like score, that sets your site apart from most domains. Just something to bear in mind.
