any thoughts on ticketweb {dot} com's home page.. PR8 and promotes their partner sites below footer . it's kind of, or actually maybe it is, link buying. Would you do that on your site(s) to bring up the PR for newly developed sites ? ** I think it is being done ** how about websites that are unrelated on the home page that has good PR. I understand related sites and related outgoing/incoming links are best, but this method can only help the lower site..corrrect ? OTOH, will it negatively affect the PR8, or PR6 site, giving links on its homepage to unrelated sites..? should those unrelated sites have at least a PR3 or PR4 or better ?
