php include scripts

I have some outbound links on my pages which will be the same on a number of pages so I've chosen to put them in a php include file.

These outbound links are, debatably, good for SEO. Will putting them an include file rather than on the page directly affect this?

Cheers,
Chris

    I don't see how they would affect the SEO efforts for the page - by the time the page is rendered the resulting HTML would look the same as if you hadn't used include pages.

    Just my 2 cents, but I think it makes sense!

    • This is correct. The pages are generated before being presented to the user or spider so there is no discernible instance of the include file.

      I have found some SEO gain by linking out to authority sites in the past.
