Regarding high PR links If you get a couple of high PR links it might help you. But it depends on the site. How many links are there on the page that your link appears on? What position in the HTML does your page occur(not on the displayed page)? Is there a nofollow attribute added to your link? In many cases, it could possibly benefit you more to get 150 or 200 PR0 links than 4 or 5 PR8 or 9 links. For example, w3.org sells links for $1000.00, but places the nofollow attribute on all of their links, making the link, as far as SEO goes, worthless. Having a high PR rank will not alone increase your traffic. If you have 1 or 2 IBL's from high PR sites, then what ever keyphrase's you are targeting will not experience much change in the SERP's(search engine results position), especially if those sites are not relevant to the content that your site offers. It would be more beneficial to get IBL's from sites that are similar to yours in content than it would to get links from higher PR sites. If you are considering purchasing text links on high PR sites, then I urge you to reconsider. High PR sites charge a lot of money for links and you could accomplish the same thing for a lot less money, plus get higher in the SERP's. My best advice, hit the search engines, find websites that are similar to yours in content and request they add your link to their site. Some sites may require a reciprocal link, but not all do. Ignore the PR of other sites, get links anywhere you can, after all, a link is a link, and any single one of them could help drive more traffic to your site. posted by jumpenjuhosaphat
