PR 7 Link pointing to my PR 2 Site.

I just got a PR7 which is relevant to my site and topic pointing to my website. As a matter of fact I' am the only link on the whole site. When do you think the next PR update will take place, and how will it affect my PR 2 site?

good work. it certainly cant hurt your rankings.

That's pretty cool for your website.....

Yea, I hoping to see a PR Jump...just don't know when..

Yeah it's good for your website.....but to what extent this single link will influence your PR, i am not so sure.....

Watch their page to see when google caches it and track your SERPS from that point on. PR flow is immediate once the page is cached, so ideally you should see an improvement in your sites keywords searches (for the link anchor text especially so) but a general improvement too, as soon as the link goes live into the algo.

toolbar may take a while to show any changes. how gutted would you be if they nofollowed it though?

The link is http://icestandard.org and they don't intend to no follow the link.

Sorry don't want to seem like I'm hijacking this thread but I am also in a similar position. I have just had a link added to a PR8 website which is frames based, it points to some tutorials on my website.

How can I tell when Google has crawled the PR8 website, and is it likely to be a draw back that they are frames based?

My site is also a PR2 so I was very happy to get this link! Hopefully it will benefit the rest of my website :-D

The PR7 page was last cached on 27th Jan. And is your link 1weddingsource(.)com. That is showing an error "Sorry the page is not active"....at least when i checked.

The website that linked to you might be relevant to your website... but the links into that website... where are they from? If they are from a dog food site you might not see much SERP benefit.

This seems like you have paid them good amount they have placed your link on Top with quite Competitive Long tail Keyword in Anchor Text.

Any ways I'm sorry mate your site is not working : 1weddingsource.com

Following message appears:

"Sorry this page is not active.
IP ADDRESS:122.161.15.226"

Hmmm this is a very interesting statement. I have never really come across this before. I take it you believe that themed relevance is much more than a single link issue from one site to another.. It does make sense. I s'pose this is where co-citation comes into the algo in terms of relevance.

Would you think carrying on from you above example that if the links into the wedding site were from mainly dogfood sites that a link from the wedding sites would be more benefical to a dog food seller then another wedding company? Just following a train of thort I wonder if you can make a link more relevant by poniting other relevant links at the site you have a link from. Would for example if you pointed 100 low quality golfing links the wedding site would you make the link from the wedding site now relevant to a golfing site?

As to the original poster I would assume if you were the only link from a PR7 page (and the PR juice is being transferred) you could expect a TBPR of 4 or 5 at the next update.

AS for effect on SERPs of the link that is anyones guess. But from my experience full link power takes a couple of months to start showing up on the SERPs of you site. Ive seen many say 3 to 6 months.

My site must have been down when you were checking it. The site is back up though.

haha cheers for the url, im off to email them for one of those babies ;) (joke)

clare do the site: search for the page the link is on and look in the Google cache of the page to see if your link is there.

if theyve put it inside a frame, unfortunately its probably going to be worthless to you PR wise, but you may at least get some traffic.

G cant (or dont) read inside frames.

thats what its showing here at the moment too.
