I often link out to good quality sites that are related to my content, but limit to 2 or 3 per page. I have them open in a new window so that people still have my original page in their browser if they haven’t finished reading it they can continue later on.

Absolutely correct with the points you made Nick. What you didn’t mention, is the additional benefit of making friends on the web. If you link to another website or bloggers post as a reference, they will likely notice it from their referral analytics or a google alert.

This will probably cause them to check out your post, click around your site and very likely get a future link pointed back at your site if you continue to create quality content. Creating quality content and building relationships on the web is a powerful way to build links.

I find that linking to niche authoritative websites (especially .edu and .gov sites) when appropriate reap benefits with both users and search engines.
