Do you realy need PR?

The PR factor is really important when it comes to selling links on your website. But, I don't belive, by having PR0 can prevent you selling links.

Although they might not be accurate, there are websites, such as http://www.submitexpress.com/linkpop/, would show number of backlinks to a site. You can have general idea about the quality of those backlinks by studying them for 5-10 minutes.

Another thing you can do is, share your stats. Show people the amount of visitors you get. Also show the source of your traffic.

So, I belive, you can still sell links (maybe bit cheaper), eventhough you have PR0.

 

I agree. but you'll probably get less for them, unless you have a LOT of traffic

 

PR is an indicator that a site is around to stay at least for a while, by virtue of the fact it's already been around for a few months to accrue the PR in the first place.

It can be harder to convince people to buy links from you for a long period (say a year) if your site is PR0.

It's probably best to sell them per month as a starter until the site becomes more established.

 

Ofcourse you won't get lots of money, but atleast you can make some money. Because, i came accross withsome site owner, who waits for their site to get PR to sell links.

My point is, you can still sell links without PR. But, I agree that, you won't get lots of money for a link.

 

Not all webmasters are crazy about PR as far as i'm concerned. Most would still consider buying links if your site has high relevant traffic.

 

PR is only good imo for two things.

1). PR4+ is a great way to help you get Brand New Sites Indexed.
2). Selling text links for residual income.

There's a few other things it's good for, like if you're an SEO company it wouldn't look too good if your main page was PR0

PR has no effect on your rankings though.

 

PR is for trust rank. If you want to sell links PR is very important. The chances that your site will sell links if you have PR0 is very little. Yes PR is very important in selling links.

 

I'm quite sure most of my sites from PR0 will hit 4-5 most likely 5, and I would not sell a link before hand. Not because I can't make profit, but because I can make more later.

 

Good decision. I agree on that.

 

If you ever decide to trade links, you'll find that PR is also good for:

3) getting trades.

 

That is my point aramik. There are people out there would sell links for sites like yours. I respect your decision completely for waiting to have PR and sell links for more price.

But some may and can sell links for PR0 sites that is expected to have good PR in next update.

I personally bought links from PR0 sites for resonable prices. But, I study my lesson before hand. I check their backlinks and the quality of those backlinks.

 

Well PR is only important if you plan to sell links .. but If you have the Traffic then you can still make some money via allowing others to advertise on your site..and yes by also selling links ( some will surely buy links for traffic if the site is relevant ) though they will be cheaper then the high PR ones .
PR aint everything

 

PR is not vital, but it certainly helps!

 

Actually

The higher the pr, the more frequently it will pull up on the first few pages of googles search.

I mean you could have a hosting company or you could have a directory, but when you search for say web hosting or directory or web directory, I think Dreamhost or Dmoz will probably appear before yours.

Mainly because they have a high pr.

 

imo its better to have good PR in all cases. its makes easy to convince others

 

I don't agree at all. have you ever done google search on directory or online diretory. See the first result and check the page rank .

 

Of course you need PR. The Toolbar is six months outdated. You don't see the "real PR".

 

LOL online diretory is a spelty wrongly thats why it has no PR search for online directory I see 6-7-8 all over the page
directory is all page PR8


Why would you want to reinvent the wheel ?

PR is the widely accepted value of a web site. And it is very unlikely to change in the forseeable future unless some one else comes up with a better idea that they can get more than 50% of sites to accept & impliment.

Traffic Stats are of little value alone, they can easily be manipulated. PR is harder to manipulate. A PR 0 is exactly that Zero. A site considered to be brand new. or one that has no backlinks at all.

Hop over to http://www.text-link-ads.com/ a quality company that knows about links, Register your PR 0 as a publisher & see if they accept it ?
Truth is they will not accept it because it has PR0
Another truth is all zeros are in fact Future PR3 after a period of time unless they do something stupid one single back link to an honest site will get you PR3 at the first or second update if you have 0 then your site is new or has no backlinks at all. If it is a 1 or a 2 it is doing something wrong in the eyes of G A PR3 Is actualy the minimum for an established honest site.

 

PR is useful in terms of link building.

 

I think traffic is the key more than PR or Alexa
