Thoughts on potential link benefit from SopaStrike.com?

    I'm 110% against the SOPA bills, and recently blacked out over 200 domains for 48 hours, losing a good bit of money in the process... Just to get the word out.

    However; always recognizing an opportunity when I see one, I jumped on the chance to get listed on the www.SOPAStrike.com main page, as I foresee this site hitting an easy PR7 (Possibly, but very unlikely, 8?) with all of the recent backlinks from media, blogs, pretty much everywhere.

    I was able to get a half-dozen of my sites on the main list (a few with desired anchor and a few with the name of the site (properly formatted) as anchor... In which I always include keywords / keyphrases anyway).

    There are a lot of links, degrading outbound link power potential, but I think the benefit will still be measurable.

    Any thoughts on what the PR of this site will end up looking like soon? How beneficial these links will turn out to be, factoring in the number of outbounds on front page?


    Of course there are many unknown variables as of yet, such as how long they'll leave the site up after SOPA comes to pass, or if they will for some reason nofollow links (doubt it), as well as link quality and benefit algorithms.


    However; there are promising certainties. Amazing viral presence amongst all corners of the internet, leading to vast increases in mentions and therefore vast increases in inbounds to SOPAStrike.


    And, there's always this:
