One external link from a PR5 site can boost your SE page ranking. My question is this: how many external links from PR0 sites would it take to boost your SE page ranking the equivalent? In other words, how many little guys does it take to equal one big guy, always assuming you're in your niche, etc.? What I'm getting at is if you can boost your SE page ranking by doing a lot of blog commenting on PRO and PR1 sites? (I'm a PR0 right now.) Has anyone done this?
In general, a PR5 link is better than a ton of PR0 links. However, the number of outbound links on the page should also be taken into consideration. If the PR5 page, for example, has 1 million outbound links on it, and the many PR0 pages have no outbound links on them, then it could be that the PR0 links pass more linkjuice.
It depends on the niche of your site and niche of the PR5 , PR0 site. But i always prefer 1 back link from pr5 rather than thousands from pr0.
It's always very good to have websites link to you that are related to your site's niche. It's one of the small things that put you above the competition if your competitors have a bunch of random links and you have a bunch of targetted, on topic sites linking to you.
Makes sense. But I wonder if the reverse is true, i.e. if it would be better to have 50 PR0's from your niche than one PR5 from a non-niche?
Here's the thing I've noticed over the past year: If you get a ton of backlinks from IN CONTENT anchor text links on RELEVANT websites, you're going to see SERP results very quickly. For instance, our site, MyLinkClub.com has PR0, but we're ranked for some of the most competitive keywords in our niche... and our only backlinks are from other PR0 sites. Competitive analysis shows that we're outranking sites who've gotten backlinks on pr4-pr7 sites, but those sites don't contain any relevant content to the anchor text used. So, I'm sure this could be a heated battle, but since my research has PROVEN what I've just said about pagerank and actual ranking.... I'd bet money that PR doesn't matter as much as people say.
This makes a lot of sense. Google, overall, does things based on common sense and it makes sense that if people in your niche are excited about a page, then it is probably a better page, assuming there's no gaming going on of course. Thx very much for the info. I'm going to give it a try - in the blog commeting sense - as my niche has very few dofollow PR3+ sites. I just wanted to know if it was worth the while...
If your goal is to raise your page rank, then skip the PR0 sites and get links from the higher PR sites. If you want to rank better in the search engines, then go with lots of PR0 sites. Just make sure that they are PR0 and not "No Pagerank". All you should care about is that they are indexed by Google. The number of inbound links to your site and the keywords that they link on is much important than the page rank when it comes to SERP.
I'm sure blog comments are good, but in post links are where you'll get a LOT more recognition from Spiders.
I care about SERP and not really page rank. So have you used blog commenting as a way to get lots of PR0 backlinks? Is this the best way to do it other than linkbaiting?
I can say one PR5 link is equal to about one hundred PR0 backlinks. But the problem is how to get PR0 backlinks using blog commenting (which you said you plan to use)? Most of the blogs use nofollow attribute, so they are not passing link juice to your site at all.
no i don't think its useful if your link on 5PR site so it better to 500 link bcz some seo website provide directory submission services so they also get link on 0PR only 500 directory price $100 or more.... so why website owner not buy one 5PR link. also we SEO's have good resource for submission 5 or 6 PR but we do directory 4000 or 5000 or more... why? bcz its useful in SERP, PR, traffic and ranking.
PRO dofollows are MUCH easier to get than PR1+. It's because they are just starting out, I guess, and want any traffic whatsoever, including some poor slob like myself logging in for blog commenting. And it's not a bad idea: I've found some pretty good PR0 sites that I keep in mind from it...
