Several SEO questions

1) What's so bad about reciprocal links?
2) How does PR of the page your backlinks are on effect you?
3) Approximately how many backlinks do you need to get a PR 5
4) What is so good about .edu backlinks
5) Is a PR0 backlink any good?

Thanks

 

1. Reciprocals are unnatural and made to manipulate the SERPs. Google doesn't like them but I still use them.
2. A high PR means the page has more linking power, a link from a high PR page is better than a link from a low PR page.
3. A couple of PR6 links would do it. Or 20 PR5 links. Or 50 PR4 links.
4. Nothing. Just that .edu websites often have lots of backlinks/PR/authority.
5. A tiny bit good.

 

Thanks a lot. I'm going to add to your rep

One more question, would 1000 PR0 backlinks be good?

 

Maybe, are they going to be relevant to your sites content? Will they provide some referral traffic? Don't limit your backlinking decisions based solely on search engine results.

 

what a top answer without all waffle. very refreshing, more rep still

Concerning the PR-related questions 2), 3), and 5) — remember that PR is a Google thing. Yahoo, MSN, and others don't key off Google's PR. So the PR issue is irrelevant for many search engines. For those other search engines, just keep getting good backlinks from sites from which you don't feel nervous or embarrassed about having a link to your site.
