Hi everyone, I have a few questions about PR and how it works in certain situations: 1. A blog has a PR of 6 on it's main page, but the post that relates to my keyword (where I want to comment) has a PR of 0. Does google go with the PR of the page or the site in this case? 2. My site has a forum with a PR of 0. I have put a link to my main page that has a PR of 6 in my signature. Will this bring down my main page's PR? 3. I want to put a link from my site of PR 6 to another site of PR 2, will my PR go down or be affected by this? Thanks in advance.

I have put a link to my main page that has a PR of 6 in my signature. Will this bring down my main page's PR? No, it will be fine 3. I want to put a link from my site of PR 6 to another site of PR 2, will my PR go down or be affected by this? That's will be OK if you control the outbound link
Thanks for your super quick reply! I have another question, this one a bit more complicated: Say that I have an English site in the US with a PR of 6 and I have a friend who has a French site in France with a PR of 6. If he gives me a link on his front page to my site, how will google treat that link? I mean, will links from non-English speaking countries affect google's PR and rankings for English queries that are done at www.google.com (vs. www.google.fr for example)? Sorry if my question is a bit difficult to explain and understand.
Maybe how two sites relate will come in effect but with both PR6, it will be helpful for the one that receive.
If the link is dofollow, sure it will helps on your PR. However, it might not helps much on SERP since it is in different languages.
Don't you worry about the placed of your link you must choose a related site even do if it is PR0 because eventually it will have a PR after 3 months.
don't get caught up in pr so much. Over analyzing will make your head explode. Just keep getting links from reputable sites and vertical sites.
As simmonsunrest above me has stated, don't go getting caught up with the pagerank thingy. This could eventually be something that brings your site down. Go about your business and work it like you mean for it to be a real success and everything else will follow.
Good questions, I am coming to the conclusion that page rank does not matter as much as it used to. Its a general marker not an absolute . It used to be that page ranks were awarded 3 -4 times a year . In between it was carved in stone. Where you ranked in terms of page rank seemed to affect everything Now there are sites where my page rank has somehow disappeared Yet these sites rank very well for my chosen key words Page rank seems to be a marker. That is if you are working on a site with seo and you never get a page rank -its not a good indication that google is catching your work As per your questions - go by the general page rank of your blog - individual pages when on page one seem to get that rank bled to them - page rank mojo does bleed onto pages it is pointed to. What is most important is to focus that power onto a limited amount of pages - create a google webmaster account watch what links google awards credit to. This is what counts most - for highly relevant links i have seen examples where Google awarded link status to what it considered to be highly relevant links for a new site within a month or so of the site being created and put up This would not of happened several years ago when google page ranks were awarded only several times a year The process seems to be much more fluid now
