Lets say I have a new site, and I don't have enough backlinks to get into PR4. So instead if I buy a link at a PR6-PR7 site. Will it atleast give me a PR4?
Submit daily to free directories for 2-3 months and i bet anyone can get a PR4.. But why not spend some and try for PR6-7 thx malcolm
Depends on the quality of the PR6/PR7, number of outbounds, etc. Achieving PR4 is rather easy, and one PR6 maybe enough, but you never know.
I can't tell exactly (i believe no one can tell either exactly) how much PR6-7 backlinks you need to get a PR4, it really variates. I have a site that back in the days had backlinks from 3 solid PR4 pages and gained PR3 on the update, while another site had the same amount of backlinks from same PR sites but received PR2 only. It depends on many things, the outbound links from the site of which you receive a backlinks, the quality of the PR of the site from which you receive a backlink and other factors.
Do you make Google's PR algo? With 3 PR7 links --you might get PR in between 0 to 7. Only Google bots can decide this.
It's all about Quality of links instead of Quantity. You can get PR4 even from a single PR4 quality link.
It does matter for those who: 1. Link exchange with big site (usually they do hardlink exchange if you have PR5 and above) 2. High PR = more $$ for sponsored review 3. Sell link space
It really depends on the site from which you are buying the link. You can't precisely tell what PR you will get from x links. The number of outbounds, current PR, stability of the PR all play a role.
In my opinion you can have PR 4 if your site is internally optimized(referring to coding and onsite optimization) & have some related backlinks of same or higher PR.
some people even said got only 1 PR 7 cna get you PR4-6 but that might be a rumour though. try to get high PR and as much as possible you will get high PR too for sure XD
and in the field we call that a "guess". Bare in mind you are only viewing Toolbar PR, so when PR has been converted onto this rickety 0-10 scale, the range of authority a PR7 link can have is massive, as the scale is logarithmic.
