What is it called when you link to another website?

External Links are hyperlinks that point at (target) any domain other than the domain the link exists on (source). In layman's terms, if another website links to you, this is considered an external link to your site. Similarly, if you link out to another website, this is also considered an external link.

Is it OK to link to other websites?

A link can take the user to another page within the same site (an “internal link”), or another site altogether (an “external link”). You do not need permission for a regular word link to another website's home page.

Is it fair to put hyperlinks in your website that lead to another?

Generally, it is permissible to provide a link (or “hypertext” link) to a third-party website, but it is important to check to see if a website has indicated that linking is not allowed. Anything more than linking may lead to liability. The two common ways websites connect to other sites are linking and framing.
