lot of people have some question about open source , like; what is “open source”, why does it exist, and who is responsible for it?

i collected here some  info, in order to reply this questions, so:

This normally means that you pass your changes back to the main project who incorporates them and the piece of software improves with changes not from one company, but an entire community. There are heaps of software projects developed in this way a few of which are, our favouriteFirefox, Apache, Linux, Wordpress and Silverstripe. Read the rest of this entry »

 my understanding of the outbound links is that a link to your site from another site (or vice versa) is a vote of confidence for that other site.

Links from similar pages help indicate to search engines that users think this page to be relevant.

Now inbound links are obviously strongest - a link to your page from a page of similar content will increase the value of your site and its position in search results. An important point is that links from pages of dissimilar content will not be regarded with much value - if at all, therefore getting a link on someones link page is pretty much useless.
