PR - Quantity vs Quality

Discussion in 'Google' started by SEOjr, Aug 28, 2007.

    While building BLs, we know we should look for sites that have a high PR. It is not easy to get a free PR 7 or higher site. So I'm thinking to generate quantity to offset the quality.

    Has anyone done any research to figure out the quantity and quality relationship?
    e.g. 1 PR 7 sites = 10 PR 6 sites = 20 PR 5 sites, etc. THis is just an example.

    Anyone knows the estimate / rough figures?

    DO you want Pr or rankings ?

    If you want rankings look for authority related sites.

    10 authority PR 5 related sites can give better results than one non related PR PR 8 site

    Again, sites don't have PageRank. Pages have PageRank. The PageRank value of any link is roughly equal to the PageRank score of the page where the link originates divided by the number of links on that page. While Google may include other less tangible qualities when it judges a link, in terms of pure PageRank value, these principles are good guides to judging the value of any link.

    There are few researchers which can give straight answers. the best results are coming from your own experiences. there are niches where you can gain good serps without having backlinks from related websites. it depends also for what keywords do you want to rank.

    Well no body knows for sure except for Google it self, but we all know that quality links from high pagerank and relevant website using your keywords in the anchor text is the best you can get, So try to get the best...

    Its an old wives tale. Learn to manage your anchor text and work with the free directories. It takes a little bit longer for the spiders to get around to your links but hell this is a long term thing anyway.

    High PR is not where you want to be right now. I also question relevance. If it means you need to find a category in a directory thats listing sites with similar content that makes some sense. But does Google measure the relevance of the link? I dont know and I dont think anyone does.

    PR has zip, nada,nothing to do with serp's. You might be lucky and get a boost from a high PR site but is not because its got high PR. Back links are back links. That is until you start getting links from governmental, educational and other genuinely recognised sites and this is when you are supposed to get those turbo charged jobs. Not in my league and certainly not from any site you will find here.

    quality first then quantity...but if you can both concurrently consider it as a bonus.

    My site is: www [dot] cruisevacationworld [dot]com

    It is a new site. I mentioned it once in one of the forums and Google found it.
    Since then, it keep indexing pages. It is not even finished. I'm still working on the Home page. So far, I only added a few BLs.

    Any comments are welcome.

    I got a sitewide PR7 links from a quality, related site for my business blog (lots of PR6,5, etc. links included in that) completely naturally. My PR blog also gets quoted and linked to often enough naturally by some top authority blogs in the niche. I don't believe in wasting my time worrying about quantity. The key is just writing something worth linking to. The good links come naturally. If they don't, you're doing something wrong.

    Wrong on several fronts.

    1. Pagerank does in fact have some effect on SERPs. Go right to the source:

    - Source

    or

    - Source

    2. Government and educational sites don't necessarily have more weight (a .edu backlink isn't automatically more valuable than a .com or .net backlink). It's all about the authority of an individual site; not the type of site or URL structure.

    Low PR and high PR both gives you a juice but surely high PR gives an emphasis. Quality PR is good but make sure it is relevant to your site.

    PR is not important, a massive volume of backlinks are.

    Aim for cheap PR2-4 links from this forum. Avoid buying pernament links, as they are probably a scam.
