I am thinking of taking up some of the services available here on DP for links. I have a brand new recently registered site - PR0. There are currently oo backlinks. The services I am looking at are: Approx 800 directory submissions (PR0-8) Approx 150 blog postings containing up to 3 of my links (PR0-5) Submision of 1 article to 400+ Article directories (PR0-6) 1. What will my pagerank be once the backlinks get indexed and PR is updated? 2. How long will it be until the page rank is updated? 3. Are any of the above services not worth it for PR development?
Approx 800 directory submissions (PR0-8) The lines between "link farm" and "directory" are getting thinner and thinner daily... so the return value given today may be more or less tomorrow. While I still suggest using such services, I'd not even begin to hazard a guess concerning how much it will help (or hinder). Though, I can say that 'quality' directories are generally human edited (as compared to robot verified) Approx 150 blog postings containing up to 3 of my links (PR0-5) Submision of 1 article to 400+ Article directories (PR0-6) Article sites & blog networks both run the risk of duplicate content filtering where Google is concerned. If you are planning on such things, do your best to give variances in your articles where possible. This will help staying out of duplicate filters and supplemental results... However, they still have value even if they are all the same thing. How much value depends on several factors (site reputation, traffic, quality traffic, etc). _____________ With the recent changes to PR calculations and with the changes planned to such calculations I think that anyone would be hard pressed to give you a correct answer...though, I'd assume that doing all that work would at least result in a PR3 if not 4...but then, it may take a round or two of PR updates.
I agree with the above, but in personal experience it will depend on what the site is, i think a blog site is much easier to achieve a PR4 Status that say an Ecommerce site.
Thanks for the above. What would you suggest is the best way to get to PR5 in the shortest space of time? I do not want to purchase high PR site links.
Then quality... though, I think being sandboxed may slow you down (but I know nothing about that, my niche is too obscure for such things). Followed by links (link exchanges, links building) and then product recognition.
