The design of backlinks must be done in such a fashion that they apprear to be organic in nature . If you go out purchase nothing but pr 4's or 5's it will look as if the design has purchased links which google frowns upon. I having done seo for 10 years now I know that 0's through 5's will attian rank and look to be more of a natural re occurring design as the likelyhood that in the order of things you would wind up with nothing but 5's. below is the break down of PR which google uses : 1. PR(Tn) - Each page has a notion of its own self-importance. That’s “PR(T1)†for the first page in the web all the way up to “PR(Tn)†for the last page 2. C(Tn) - Each page spreads its vote out evenly amongst all of it’s outgoing links. The count, or number, of outgoing links for page 1 is “C(T1)â€, “C(Tn)†for page n, and so on for all pages. 3. PR(Tn)/C(Tn) - so if our page (page A) has a backlink from page “n†the share of the vote page A will get is “PR(Tn)/C(Tn)†4. d(... - All these fractions of votes are added together but, to stop the other pages having too much influence, this total vote is “damped down†by multiplying it by 0.85 (the factor “dâ€) 5. (1 - d) - The (1 – d) bit at the beginning is a bit of probability math magic so the “sum of all web pages' PageRanks will be oneâ€: it adds in the bit lost by the d(.... It also means that if a page has no links to it (no backlinks) even then it will still get a small PR of 0.15 (i.e. 1 – 0.85). (Aside: the Google paper says “the sum of all pages†but they mean the “the normalised sum†– otherwise known as “the average†to you and me.
This is all very well. But a little too complicated for me. I like page #1 listings in google. As I do not understand so much of the mathematical details, I just get one way back links that have a lot of PR juice and enjoy my rankings. Also I have not read in Google's papers that I should buy links. So, I just get them for free. That is what Google wants. It still costs money, as it takes time to collect free links. But I am not buying links and google is happy. But maybe I did not really understand the post. In that case, sorry for the confusion.
Okay, so does this mean that ANY backlink to my site, even from the lowliest pr0 page will get me the same benefit as if I was the only link from a page with a pr of .15? If this is true, then 40 such links from low pr sites is equal to one link (if I'm the only one) from a pr6 page. Since I'll probably never be the only outbound link from a pr6 page, and it's hard to come by those links anyway, I could try to get 40 very low value links instead, right?
Not exactly. It means that you don't just look at PR by itself when determining the value of a backlink. you have to look that things like then umber of outbound links it has, the pagerank of the actual page your link is on, the number of Google backlinks the page to link to you has, and more. If a pr6 site has 1000 oubound links on it, the it absolutly could be worth as little as a PR0 page with only your link on it.
Interesting stuff indeed - does the above info make more sense after seeing this image... http://www.google.com/patents?id=cJ...nking+in+node&source=gbs_selected_pages&cad=3 or does it just continue to peck your heads as much as mine... the spirit of the law would dictate that your backlinks will fall where they may (considering organic-ness) -- hence i wouldnt concern your self with TB page rank as such...

Paid linksPrint Google and most other search engines use links to determine reputation. A site's ranking in Google search results is partly based on analysis of those sites that link to it. Link-based analysis is an extremely useful way of measuring a site's value, and has greatly improved the quality of web search. Both the quantity and, more importantly, the quality of links count towards this rating. However, some SEOs and webmasters engage in the practice of buying and selling links that pass PageRank, disregarding the quality of the links, the sources, and the long-term impact it will have on their sites. Buying or selling links that pass PageRank is in violation of Google's webmaster guidelines and can negatively impact a site's ranking in search results. google.com/ support/ webmasters/ bin/ answer. py?hl=en& answer=66736
so google does state buying links is in direct violation of Google's webmaster guidelines , call me a fool but I can build my own networks and provide links to my sites and not create a seo pitfall by buying links. More to come ... Thanks for your repiles
