SEO Experts Answer This One

Short term the PR 2 page would be better. Over the long run that PR 6 has more juice/authority to pass. If I had a single choice, I would go for the PR 0 page on a PR 6 domain. Although this is dependent on other factors such as verifying the health of the Website, is the PR 0 page cached (normally if PR is assigned or 0 it is), etc.

Although the OP offered a hypothetical question, I personally would resolve the matter by getting a link on both sites.

 

Well, as for me, as long as you are linking to a related site, whatever PR the page is, its a NO BIG DEAL for me... Its still a QUALITY BACKLINK.

 

Hi, I am the number 1 SEO expert in the world. I cannot answer the question with seeing the 2 urls to evaluate all factors, one important factor would be the internal linking to the 2 pages in question...

 

If i wud go this then i wud like to find how deep this page from home page. If it's available after two clicks from home page then fine but if it is available after more than two clicks then i wud not go with this page.

In earlier condition my preference goes to this page. Otherwise PR 6 is better.

 

Everybody STOP - the number 1 SEO expert in the world has given his opinion, everybody's else's view is redundant

Oh - the number 1 SEO expert in the world doesn't seem to know the answer

 

I would go for the PR0.

 

It's a simple case of which is better than the other. You need to study the context of the pages and the website in general in order to determine which is more valuable.

For example:
- Where are the sites hosted? If you're targeting the UK market and one site is hosted in the UK and other in New Zealand then the UK hosted site is 'better'.
- Out of the two sites, what is the outbound link equity of both pages?
- Where is the link positioned on the pages' of both sites? The header area is preferred rather than footer as bots consume a limit of bytes per page.
- What is the context of both sites? If one is related to your site's product and the other isn't then the related backlink is better in my opinion.
- Does one of the sites use any blackhat tactics or sell links? Could they get penalised for any infractions? Their PR6 may not last as a result.

So it's not just a case of which is better. Context. Context. Context. But all things being equal between both sites I would take the PR6 backlink.

 

The PR of a webpage isn't determined only by in-bound links. It also depends on the content and the age of the page. If a page is still new, its going to have a "gray" or PR0 ranking.

 

Why would you think it's hard for the PR6 to grow? Are you speaking strictly about PR? Google PR has changed quite drastically since a year ago. Nowadays, it's pretty hard to obtain a PR6, so I think any site that is able to achieve this has done a good job.

Google has done a good job of deterring link buying by raising the bar on Google PR. If you visit most directories now, almost all the subpages have PR0. Looking back just a year ago, many directories/sites had high PR subpages. So now, I think PR is more realistic than it used to be. However, you have to take into consideration the age and content of a page. And, perhaps Google has a "sandbox" on PR now.

 

PR is not the deciding factor... if the PR0 page has not been indexed then it will have no value, and if it has been indexed but has few links it will have little value while the PR2 might have a great deal more value even though it is only a PR2... so in answer I would take the link from the page which is most related, is most natural an which offers the best placement... i.e. in content instead of on a free-for-all links page.

 

I think PR6. The PR6 will be crawled more frequently and deeply than the PR2 page. you can check backlinks also which site homepage and inner pages have more backlinks.

 

Hahahahaha the #1 seo expert in the world... I am willing to bet nobody has even heard of you till now. Don't be so arrogant, I am not sure even Rand Fish or Aaron Wall have claimed that title and if anyone deserves it it is one of them not a amateur like yourself...
If you were the #1 seo expert in the world your services would be worth approx $1000/hr

 

How wrong you are visio. I am very well known and Google agrees with my comment because I rank top for all the SEO Expert related terms I have targetted. I was offering help, if the poster wanted to take it further he could have pm'd me with the URLs. I wont make the mistake of doing it again! You too should think about who you are talking to before letting of steam, you dont know who I am .

 

Your right I don't know who I am talking to... but if you were the number 1 seo expert I would cause I know who the leading seo are and your not even close.
You don't rank for seo and that IS the TOP "seo expert related term". You rank for fairly easy phrases I can be quite sure. It never ceases to amaze me how arrogant amateurs can be at times.

 

Visio,

You are embarrasing yourself. Be quiet there's a good boy. Your envy and frustration because you will never achieve my heights is just pathetic.

Have a good weekend,

T

 

You should acquire a backlink from both. If your paying then you don't have a choice but to listen to SEO experts advice.

 

Your height of what? Stupidity? Nobody here believes your the #1 seo expert, had you claimed you were a seo expert you probably would have got some votes(albeit I would still disagree) but claiming to be THE one and ONLY is simply arrogant stupidity.

I will leave you with Albert Einstein's famous saying:
“The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits.”

 

Dude, your argument is flawed. PageRank is so called because it was invented by Larry 'Page' - the name doesn't mean anything.

 

it depends, authority of the site matters alot. I will take a PR0 link from a newspaper site on any day over some random PR2 link.

 

The page rank of 6 on the home page will do nothing for you if the link page is a 0.

You should go with the home page rank of 2 with the link page rank of 2. Search engines like Google will consider this a better link.

Truth be told I would sign up for them both because there is no such thing as a bad back link as long as it is in your niche.
