    1 PR7 backlink is much better then 50 PR1 backlink....
    1 PR7 is equal to around 230 PR1 backlink

    That seems a great info. So can I know how my PR and traffic will be affected if I have 10 PR7 backlinks?

    It seems some made up info ;)

    Nobody knows how many backlinks of pr1 make up a pr7 link - if anyone thinks otherwise I'd love to see the data they are basing it on.

    I assume this is a hypothetical question, but I'd rather have the pr7 link than 50 pr1's. You can pick up pr1's for $10 or free all over the place, a pr7 link is going to be expensive and hard to come by.

    I'll pick the 2nd. 1 backlink from a PR7 Site will be a lot better.

    1 pr7 backlink is much more valuable than 50 pr1 backlinks.

    I am not talking about getting traffic from those links but just for getting PR. So, 1 link from PR 7 is better isn't it?

    why not have links to both PR7 and PR1? Then you don't have to worry about that.

    PR7 link is always better than 50 PR1 links. No doubt about it.

    That info is plucked from thin air. Not true at all.

    I personally would go for the 50 PR1 links rather than the 1 PR7 link.

    Reason: Because although the 1 PR7 link may give my site a good PR, it is not going to do much for my serps, which is what I really care about.

    50 PR1 links with my anchor text in will give me a good boost in serps.

    Nobody could say that. It depends on many factors like age of the sites, relevance, number of outbound links, etc.
    I would go for 50 PR1 links with slightly different anchor text if they're related to my site.
    1 PR7 link from totally unrelated site won't help you as much as you might think.

    i will go with 50 pr1 links, bcoz of volatility in google's pr update, what if the pr7 today hammerd down to pr0 or low pr, also the pr7 link will provide only 1 anchor text whereas i can use 50 anchor texts in other case which is much better for seo.

    The question you should be asking is which one is easier to get?

    Ditto that sentiment and only if I can pick the 50 pages they would be on. I would take 50 related and varying links over 1 link, regardless of PR.

    Repeat after me: PR does not drive your SERPs. Incoming links and on-page content drives SERPs.

    I do know this. It takes more and more links to reach that point the next day, and it will be more the day after. PR is finite, only so much to go around. Links therefore degrade with time and you need to constantly amass more and more.

    Actually it depends on the anchor text, the niche, the wording around the link, etc... Not all links count the same. An intext contextual link with immediate relevence from a site with a high trust factor is best. For instance, if you had a website that sold cosmetics and you could somehow manage to get a pr7 link off the FDA.gov website that had to do with cosmetic products that would be about the best you could get. Versus a PR7 from a Kuwati newspaper in nonenglish arabic on oil well drilling would not offer you much help at all. When Google determines the trust value for your website, they look at the links pointing to you. If they are like the later one they just don't even count it. If they are like the first one, then you all of a sudden rank number 1 for many, many keywords and get mega traffic.

    Another tip is to look at how much outlinking goes on with the website you want linking to you. If it's a pr7 with 100 outgoing links that pass pagerank then it will count less than a pr 1 with one link - except in the case of a super link (like the fda.gov example above). A superlink that is impossible at best to obtain can catapult a banned domain and completely spammy site out of its ban and put it right back at number 1 (this has actually happened with certain high ranking government websites - greasing palms has become very popular in Washington and elsewhere - money can really buy you anything).
