Relevancy or Page Rank?

PR alone is pretty useless, unless you are trying to make Google index all the pages of your brand new site faster.

Always go with relevancy.

I have no idea what helps.
I am very poor when it comes to link building or link popularity.

I chose what i would have had chosen myself.. PR 7.

What i think is higher pr sites linking helps... am i wrong?

 

trust is the most important factor relevancy was like 2 years ago

 

Did I get it right, are you saying that theme relevancy is no as longer important as it used to be?

This is horse manure, excuse my French. Due to the very nature of search engines, theme relevancy will always be one of the key factors. Because human users want it. And search engines are striving to serve human users better.

Also, I'm sure you know the new Google could simply ban your site for linking to unrelated content. This will not happen overnight, but this is definitely a possibility.

Only you could answer. PR7 would definitely be just one of the factors I'd use to evaluate a site as a source of a link.

Anyway, just don't get too many unrelated links with high PR, or Google will think your site belongs to a different theme, and you don't want that.

One link wouldn't hurt, though.

I would go with relevancy, a good rule of thumb when building back links is does this link belong on this page? If the search engine algorithm is doing it's job then it should value links that appear more natural, for example if there is a page that is talking about student loans and different lender options and there are links to lender websites these would have high relevancy and should naturally appear on this page. I believe that these links are of the most SEO value.

 

I'm all for the relevancy game but PR7 is really hard to get. I don't think people realize how hard. PR3's even relevant ones are a dime a dozen. I would go with the PR7.

 

Relavent link backs are the most important for any website.. Another things to consider is:

1... am I going to get traffic from this site or am I going to get lost in the links

2... does the site have good alexa ratings and google pr

3... *is the site listed in the major search engines besides google

 

Toolbar PR is not something you should look at and draw conclusions. And no one knows the real PR. I've read that Alexa Rank results are heavily skewed towards techies.

And, last but not least, you can fake both Alexa Rank and Google PageRank, pretty easy, too.
