Just got approved for free permenent link in PR6 dir!! On a PR0 page What a waste of time. Will this link be viewed by Google as PR6 (the main domain), or PR0 the actual page. I decided to try to "play the page rank game", and I'm quickly getting the idea it's a waste of time! Any thoughts on the value, or even harm, of the link to a PR3 mainpage? Thanks
Unfortunately the PR that is passed to your site is a fraction of the PR value of the page your link appears on. So in your case you will get a percentage of 0 PR. I know tat sounds bad, but its a good investment. PR has a way of trickling down throughout a well-designed website, and the fatc that the owner is creating more content pages is a good growth sign. Wait a couple cycles and you should get some value. After all, a backlink is a backlink!
Thanks, for the answer. Those lists of PR6-7 directories real don't seem very useful anymore. Oh well, I plan to avoid counting on Google and their Page Rank game.
