Ok that's a question not a statement, but it made you look. Seriously, has anyone ever managed to get a link on one of these mega PR sites? I'm talking any page by one of the biggies...CNN, MSN, etc.?
Not quite CNN but recently I got a link from FHM through a linkbaiting campaign. Using PR firms we've also got links from the BBC and several well known UK magazines.
That's not too much of a surprise, to pass a large quantity of PR a page has to have very few outgoing links, a blogs blogroll tends to divert a lot of that. I;m sure the links was still more than worthwhile though!
Use CNN search. site: yousite then put the search link on another page and google crawls it and you get a link from search.cnn.com
Yup, I agree and well I ended with a PR 3 which could have been by he virtue of my homepage PR itelf The traffic was what gave me the satisfaction as you rightly stated
That's been around for ages and been done hundreds if not thousands of times. I'm pretty sure that any search.cnn.com pages don't pass any link weight.
Well the theory still works Becuase I get backlinks from thies types search sites. The only reason it exist is to pull google serps while serving adsense ex: http://www.clipartweb.info/vr/
good content that gets exposed to them - or just pay for a link, forbes sells 'em but they don't pass PR
