Hi,

I saw a lot of high PR sites offering & selling links.

However, I see that his/her site has like more than 20 outbound links.

Was wondering what is the maximum number of OBL / site for not getting marked as linkfarm by google ?

    I think you are looking at this all wrong. I site can have 5 OBLs and be a link farm (in google's eyes), or have 120 OBLs and not be a link farm (in google's eyes).

    One thing to keep in mind in my experience it matters a lot whether or not the links are contextual or if there is just a big list of links (either in a blogroll or just straight down the page). You can 100s of OBLs and if the links are contextual, you are usually good to go. If you just have a big laundry list of links, I wouldn't expect much benefit.
