Do 0 PR links lower your sites PR?

    For example if you have 100 5PR backlinks and that gave your page a 1PR rating would it go back down to 0PR if you gained like 5000 0PR backlinks?

    Sorry for the noob question and thanks for your input in advance.

    Just because they are 0PR they wont devalue your own PR, unless ofcourse it turns out that you got those 5000 0PR backlinks via black hat methods.

    All links on an indexed page are worthwhile if they are in good neighborhoods and don't appear to be purchased. Keep plugging away and get all the links you can.

    Hope that answers your question.

    Well I really don't know if pr0 backlinks can help a lot to your site, but I'm sure that they won't do any harm ;)

    Any link wont harm you unless, like stated above, its in a bad neighborhood. Avoid links on forged PR sites as well!

    If a link in a bad neighborhood will hurt your site, does that mean that anybody can purposely harm your site just by building bad links in bad neighborhoods?

    the quality of linking to the links pointing back to your website's has a tremendous amount of value over the Internet if your question is how many back links from high ranking PR websites you need in order to See traffic coming into your website then that question could be a long update.

    updating your metadata tagging and search engine optimization for keyword coding should help with the traffic also work on your key phrases as far as traffic coming into your website because back linking helps but it doesn't guarantee traffic:eek:

    If they did then your competition could start sending hundreds of PR0 links to your site to lower the PR. I don't think so.

    think it's kind of hard to say if you have PR five back links and Google gives you your own that she didn't remain a factor as far as reading your website go. does Google page rank PR five back links pointing to your PR page rank Google one page....should not affect how traffic oversees your web data application....

    I still feel as a search engine optimizer that quality back links pointing to a well optimized website with a form and a WordPress blog has a lot more power focusing on back links could corrupt your application

    If a PR 0 link is cached, it has some value greater then 0. Even if it's 1/100th of a PR 1, it still helps.

    Even links from bad neighborhoods won't hurt as Mia noted. If they did, then everyone would be getting such links to hurt their competitors.

    No i dont agree on this philosophy, no backlink hurts, its just that it cant add more weight to your site.

    STOP WORRYING!

    PR is not the God-like entity it seems to be given status to on here. worry more about your content and your traffic.

    No even thousands of zero PR links will not affect your website. The PR can get lowered if you decide adding outgoing links to tens of sites quickly.

    thousands of zero PR links if each of those zero PR pages has PR 0.001 or better and yours is the only link oin page should give you PR1 assuming NO other links to your page so saying they will not affect your site is not quite true. At least that's my understanding of PR.

    Related question: if google shows PR 1 - is the result of googles calculation 1.0 to 2.0 or 0.5 to 1.5?
