Yes. No. It depends on a bunch of factors, some of which none but Google are privy to. (Such as, have they imposed a manual penalty on the domain to prevent it passing PR). Stop submitting to directories purely for PR, because that way lies heartache.
No, it depends. somehow now google implement a penalty score.>> check out> http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=367523
Yes you can get PR if you submit to PR4/PR5/PR6/PR7 directories... It will depend on the PR of the page where your link is placed.
Yeah. God hates PR. God will punish you for trying to buy PR. or perhaos google is god. google does not like paid links. but yes, submit to places like alive, big web links, aviva, dd, and the others, you will get a PR4 at least
Go and submit to 3 PR7+ paid directories available on the net -- http://www.excellentguide.com - PR7 $79.99/year ($49.99 -special offer now) http://dir.yahoo.com -PR8 - $299/year - http://www.business.com - PR7 - $199/year -($159 if you use code as Aviva) I am not aware of any other paid PR7 directory -- So you spend - $478.99 in total for the year and be happy with PR2/3
Lol--sorry -- yes you have those two -- http://www.bigweblinks.com -- $50 http://www.webdirectorybid.com --$10 --with the power of these two --you may get PR3/4 ( never play around with PR --though PR is the main marketing point)
Did you read John Scott's (SEO-V7N) experiment? 5 paid directory made greater impact on PR and SERPs than 700 free directories
Submit to directories over 2 years old, Google may take note that these have intention of staying alive rather than PR chasers.
