What is considered a quality link?

    I am not sure what is considered a quality link. Is it PR2 3 or4? Is it a sitewide link in a related topic blog? Is it 200 or 2000 unique visitors a day?

    A quality link is any link that is related to your site. If the other page ranks for terms closely related to your terms it will help you in the SERPs. All other things being equal the higher the PR the better.

    I would avoid site wide links. Google seems to be discounting them now days anyway.

    dont get too much focused on PR. focus on the quality of the site you are getting link from and whether it is relevant to your niche or not.

    Its best to look at the quality issue with backlinks from a human perspective, as that's ultimately how the search engines want to rate a backlink.

    If someone visits a site you have a backlink on, likes what they find on that site, and then clicks on your backlink and likes what they find on your site too, then that would be a quality backlink.

    I think quality links include high PR and uniqueness of the content must also related to your.

    For me quality link is relevant + from a quality website/blog irrespective of the PR the page has.

    A link that is relevant and a decent PR, however do not discount low pr relevant links as one day they may increase pr.

    A link from a nice, clean, relevant page with PR. Not too many outbounds on that page, and the link should ideally be in content.

    A high quality link is a link that comes from a site that is relevant
    to your site, which ranks well for the search terms you would like
    to rank well for, and it's a plus if the site has tons of high quality
    relevant backlinks pointing to it. It's also a plus if the page has pr
    and very few outgoing links.

    It is a backlink going to your site from quality site, not from link farms or sorts of that kind

    A link with the correct anchor text is my idea of a good link.

    Of course, NATURAL LINKS (i.e in-context links which also should be perfectly optimised) are the best in terms of SEO and Page Rank. These links come from sites(pages) related to your site(page).

    So here is what you need:
    A link that is: Natural+Contextual+Of course Dofollow+Keyword Rich+Targeted ==> Maximum Link Juice

    I would see PR as just a rough guide. It's not updated that regularly and if you're aggresively SEOing your site, your site's value will naturally rise but toolbar PR will stay the same.
