    1. Both are important, PR for sales and serps, traffic for conversion.

    2. No, whatever the PR of the page your link is on you will receive a fraction of it depending how many other links are on that page. Read this paper to find out more about PR, scroll down a bit to 2.1.1 and you will see the mathmatical equation for PR.

    * Basically backlinks, and you might experience moderate traffic

    2. Does submitting a site to a pr5 directory means we get a PR5 backlink (i.e. is their any factor like backlink from pages of a pR5 domain that would help )
    * No, u will get the PR from the page where ur listing appears

    For your complete PR query, i suggest that u read this

    Answer:

    1. Both! That is the reason I usually take featured links in quality directories.

    2. Submitting to PR5 directory does not mean your will get a PR5 backlink. Usually high PR directories have better inner page PR compare to low PR directories. Normally PR5 hompage directory will have many PR4 and PR3 pages. So you are likely to get a link from a PR3 or PR4 page. Some directories do offer hompage sponsered listings in that case youa re likely to get a PR5 backlink. ;)

    Hope that helps.

    thanx for reply....good info...

    is there something like link from a PR5 domain(not page) (even page has less PR)

    PR(A) = (1-d) + d (PR(T1)/C(T1) + ... + PR(Tn)/C(Tn))

    got it......so we'll get a share of the directory.....

    Thats tough to calculate from that formula..

    You need to buy a lot of links to get a decent PR..

    All that matters is the PR of the page where your link is placed. I don't think even 1000 PR0 pages can give you PR5 regardless of the home page PR.
