    None... it of course will be reported, but it can then the actual purchase can be written off as an expense, so it ends up being a wash.

    Amit's probably vexed because "ami" means mother/mom/mummy in his native language :)

    What I don't find fair is those of us who made the largest donation last time around have been pushed off the PR7 page to the PR6 page with a much larger amount of links out further diminishing the value..
    I think that page should have stayed the same as it was a PR0 to start with and we rode it through the updates.

    A new page should have been set up for this round of donations.

    I'm not really whinging about it, just don't think its fair.

    Most people are "donating" to help offset the cost of the new servers. ;)

    Actually, there are less links on the legacy donator's page and the donation page was PR6 before (so PR hasn't changed).

    I think the links being unrelated and so many really kills any transfer in PR. If you are donating $500 for the PR, PM me.. I've got some PR4 sitewides for $400. ;)

    Are you seriously comparing a site-wide link from a PR4 to a PR7?? Also, are you selling them for $400?!! I am selling site-wide links on my PR4 site for only 20 bucks for 3 months. Maybe, I should up the price! :rolleyes:

    Anyway, getting back to the servers as Ros said most people are "donating" to help pay for the new servers and not to get a backlink. Having said that, the PR7 link is a really good bonus! :)
