What is better PageRank or Backlinks? PR5 with 600 backinks or PR6 with 20 backlinks?

As above.

Imagine both have similar names and both .com endings.

Which is best?

 

best for what?

resale?
SERPs?
traffic?

 

if Serps then PR5 in my opinion

Thanks

 

i would take the pr5

 

i would also go for the pagerank 5,

 

Links on PR6 worth more

 

you can check it for some keywords at: http://www.shoemoney.com/serps.php

and you should analize the backlinks, you can't compare forum signature links with links on home page.

 

I'll take the 20 x PR6

and let you guys fight over who gets the 600 x PR5

or the 10.000 x whatever

 

what do you mean by these terms
resale
serps
trafic

 

I believe the following is what is being referred to..

Resale - Resale Value if you were to sell the site

SERP - Search Engine Results Page - placement/position in the results page

Traffic - Traffic flow into the site

... and I would also be more interested in the pr5 site.

 

PR5 because 600 backlinks for a PR5 is good as most of reffers should have PR at least 1, so it's good! Google doesn't really like websites that have 5 PR9 links, also he doesn't like a website with 18918391389 backlinks PR0, he likes average!

 

I would take the pr6 because the site has higher quality links pointing to it. I guest it depends though on which site has more related sites linking to it.

 

I suppose a big question then is, how hard is it for a pr5 to become a pr6?

 

my personal preference is PR+ indexed only.

PR without index is no good in my openion.

Thanks

 

In order for a site to recieve pr it has to be indexed, unless you are talking about fake pr?

 

Is it even possible to fake the PR of a page?

 

If I were to use the PR6 to rank in Google would it rank faster then the mentioned PR5?

 

Some of those 600 PR5 can become PR6... or PR4 I'd go with the 600 PR5

 

i would choose pr 6 . links on pr 6 have more value than the others

 

I suppose this is a trick question, as not all variables are disclosed. Remember PR is not shown in real time - it is a snapshot of a particular point in time. PR hasn't been updated in months and Matt Cutts says it will be several weeks or longer before the next one. That site showing PR6 could actually be a lower PR TODAY than the one showing PR5. Frankly, PR is a useless measure. What is important is the actual page that a link resides on. Specifically the number of links going to that page and the relevance of that page to your site. I have a hunch that PR is dead, just like "supplemental" tags, but Google hasn't bothered telling us yet.
