    On my last thread, people suggested that I fill in the directory with quality .gov/.edu/PR10 sites... but I just wanted to know the point of listing Adobe.com in a new PR0 directory, rather than having it be empty.

    Why is that though? If a page has 5 outgoing links to PR10 sites, wouldn't that mean it sent less "strength" to the 6th link (the one buying a link) than if he was the only one on the page?

    Go to a directory whose internal pages have PR. Click on a category/subcategory with sites listed and then click on a category/subcategory without any listings. More often than not the page with listings will have PR while the one without will not have any PR.

    A general rule of thumb will have Google giving more PR love to a page that has content (i.e. sites listed) so adding at least a couple of sites to an empty category will increase your chances of them getting PR

    IMHO, TBPR has nohing to do with content, it is strictly a function of incoming links to that page

    so even if a page is lacking in material content, it will get whatever TBPR google algo assigns to it

    2 subcategory pages of the same age, both linked to from the PR3 front page with neither one having outside links to the pages, this one (PR2) has sites listed this one does not (PR0). For numerous PRTB updates, my download site's internal pages exhibited the same results and most pages did not get assigned PR until after I had added content. Very un-scientific but what I have experienced personally.

    PR has nothing to do with content but a page with no content will not be indexed (supplemental) and hence won't have any PR.

    Running a directory is not just about the links or how much PR juice it will provide. I would much rather list my site in a category with 5 or 6 links with relevant content than list it in a blank category where I have the only link.

    Also the fact that your categories actually have content will make it easier for search engines to include your pages in their indexes rather than just add it to the supplemental.

    they get indexed, get PR then most of them go supplemental. And even if they have PR check to see if they are not supplemental.
    Instead of writing useless posts you and that green dude, why don't you give your explanations, we are here to learn from you.
