I believe --upto PR6 --its is normal --invest cash --and you are on. But the problem is after that. Aviva and alive have close to 100 PR5, nearly same PR6 and many PR7. Still --- After PR6 -- I think G becomes serious and award PR not only on the basis of counting --but also many other things. That table shows--that you can easily get PR6 with a PR8 backlink. Wel Dave you have the coolest PR8 link with only 12 OBL along with few PR5 and 6 links. Are you 100% confident you will get PR6?
I would say those figures are pretty accurate maybe less PR8's though, I have seen it done with one PR8 site-wide and other links as well but all 6 or less and not that many.
You git, why don't you just tell everyone Yes I do think I will get a PR6 might have to wait untill next time for the 7.
Well Saad -I agree with you there 100%. I am hoping PR 6 for my 2 months old blog with only 7 PR6 and one PR7 pointing from Amit's BLOG I reckong--G differentiates sites based on their niche--- I can see that all webmasters, hosting --internet related forums are either PR5 or PR6. Do they build backlinks like directory owners do it ? I don't think so.
Lol Dave-- you were enjoying the sweetest of linksjuices alone! Only your advertisement on a PR8 page --Wel I won't tell anyone and I do not have the capacity to list mine there
As I mentioned on my first post --I am not revealing it -Sorry Amit-don't want to get into trouble. --lets just have fun without the URL.
Can you share it with me Dave E and I can share some of mine ? Anyway whatever Sensei gets this update 5, 6 or whatever theres always a next round.
