Back Linking for Quality?

Is it better to have many back links from PR0 sites or just a couple from PR6 sites?

Dan

If we are talking about relevant content sites in both cases then a couple of PR6 is usually better. But it is good to get a variety of keywords from different PR ranking pages. This way the search engines will not trace the linking pattern as easy.

to sum it up...

Depends on your purpose.

If you are trying to gain PR then - relevancy is not a factor,go for any kind of high PR sites.

If you are trying to gain some good ranking in search engine - relevancy is the important thing,focus on that.PR is an added advantage.

If you are trying to gain some traffic - focus on any of the above mentioned kind of links, but relevant sites can drive loyal visitors to your site.

Now select which one you prefer.

I'd take the couple from the PR6 sites (pages) myself.. Links from PR0 pages probably give very little LJ benefit as far as google goes even if they are relevant. PR0 pages tend to be in google supplemental index or are likley to go there soon.

There are exceptions of course..... But it is quite difficult to get a link from a PR6 webpage so I certainly would not be knocking one back.

As to relevance you can make a link 'more relevant' by linking it to your 'most relevant' interrnal page. So if a good link is on offer consider writing an article that combines the relevance of the two sites. ie a PR6 link from a dog food site to and education site can have its relevance increased if you add an article on the education site abount 'educating your dog/ dog training' and than get the link to link to this page.

Just something I always do now is if I get a new link from a PR0 page I go and social bookmark the page the link is on. This is a way of getting someones elses page out of supps.

no need to worry if there's alot of backlinks coming from PR 0 sites, especially if you wanted to get high rankings for aslong as it is related to your site .

Don't worry about PR, i think better alwasy this about relevance.

Its better to have PR 0 from a related site rather than PR 6 from a non relevant site.

IMO that is complete rubbish.... A PR0 link gives you nothing (unless we are talking about direct traffic). A PR6 link gives you PR juice. This juice is very useful for a) keeping pages out of supps b) making it easier for you site to find good qulaity link exchanges (both two way and threeway). It is also as said earlier possible to make a link more relevant. Relevance is a 'relative' concept. PR6 links have value. PR0 links donot (with exception of direct traffic, or new pages that do not yet have PR assigned, or from authority sites and a few other reasons) BUT in the end if you have a chance to get a PR6 link take it IMO.

well, the very best is a combination ... get a lot of variation, remember your link profile has to look natural ;-)
