Yahoo page rank

Is it just because it's Yahoo?

[giggle]

For our other web sites we rank well on Google on nearly all our key search phrases.

I'm in the process of submitting a new web site to Yahoo knowing that it's central to getting a good listing within Google.

When I click on www.yahoo.com it has a PR10. Then I click on Asia and the PR drops to 7. Click on Thailand and it drops to 3 drill down to the appropriate folder and the pagerank drops to zero!

Surely it's bad to have a link from a PR0 site or is it just because it's Yahoo?

Nothing wrong with having a link from a PRO page.

As it seems, even Yahoo has pages with PR0, which can be a natural thing when going down deep in categories.

Not really. I've not paid for any inclusions at all since they sidelined the directory, and haven't suffered one hoot with any of my new sites.

If the cat is very low PR, I'd spend the money elesewhere if you really want to spend it.... IMHO of course.

it's not bad, it just wont do you any good. that's all.

I might have got my maths wrong, but aren't the number of PR0 pages always going to be vastly greater than the number of PR1's, PR1's greater than PR2's etc..? Why avoid them - it's not contageuos! ;)

If you have lot's of littePR links they'll do the same for you as fewer-higherPR links.. and the link has more value than just the PR flow.. I don't think I'd ever advise a client not to get relevant links wherever they can...

Of course you have to pay for Yahoo.. - but then I'd not reccomend most people to pay for Yahoo soley for PR anyhow? - if you were going to pay for the yListing anyway, IMHO you shouldn't be blinded by the PR..

Question: If the googleToolbar didn't have a little green bar, would you have payed for the listing?
