PR Distribution

a PR 5 or a PR4 Link?

[GoldenRanker]

Hi Guys,

I need your opinion. I have a choice of either receiving a link from a PR 5 page with many links on it or getting a link on a PR 4 page containing hardly any links at all. Which would distribute more PR to my page?

There are upwards to 30 links on the PR5 and 1 link on the PR 4 page.

Thanks for your help!

Which page is more likely to bring visitors to your site? Roll with that one.

What ever choice you make, get the anchor text right.

pmac is right

I would go with the PR5 one to increase my PR and/or try to get good anchor text to increase my page relevance.

Why not both pages?

GoldenRanker:

AFAIK, the PR5 page divides it's 'vote' between all 30 links. That means your link only will receive one-thritieth (thirtieth? Is that a word?) of the vote. The PR4 page with one link will give it's full vote to the link, or factoring yours in (2 links), it will give one-half the vote to each link. So you'll probably get a better vote from the PR4 page. I could be mistaken though.

Obviously, links from both sites would be best. To choose one would be difficult, because page rank numbers are not really 4's and 5's. Page rank is actually more of a range of numbers. If the 5 is at the upward end of the 5's and the 4 is at the lower end of the 4's then the link from the 5 could be better. You should look at the formula for page rank to understand what I'm talking about.

I just came across a website that has a page of PR 7...It has about 35 links, but they are all Insite Cross Links (this site builds a custom web page for all of its advertisers which are hosted under the same domain).

I think I can talk them into giving me a link to my outside website...if so, would I get the full PR 7 for this page? (Would Google split my link with all of the other cross links?)

Also, they want me to put a banner on the page... is there a way to add anchor text to a banner ad?

Also, they do a redirect thing with their banner adds where the link actually points to their domain, then redirects to my outsie website...does this void out the Google ranking for this link?

Thanks!

alt text should work with a banner ad.

The redirect would nullify the PR as I understand it.

Hi GoldenRanker,

>>> I have a choice of either receiving a link from a PR 5 page with many links on it or getting a link on a PR 4 page containing hardly any links at all. Which would distribute more PR to my page?

Both of these pages are good as everyone has suggested, but if you have only 1 choice, then you may like to make the best decision.

What I think you should consider is the nature of those PR5 and PR4 pages - whether they are the internal normal pages for deep links or the link pages for normal trading.

If the link you got on PR4 page is a deep link inside ordinary internal pages (not the link pages for all links exchange), then it is a very good choice and much better than PR5 page where the page is for link trading.

If both of these PR5 and PR4 are link pages for trading, then better go for PR5. Bear in mind that today you might be the only 1 on PR4, but what's about tomorrow. A drop of PR by one level in the future should also be taken into the account; then at least you are at PR5 minus 1 level down.

Count of links is a variable issue, today it's 30/1 and next month could be 30/40 or 60/2.
I would consider what page has more exposure (thinking in referrals) and probably go for pr5.
Anyway, a link from a pr4 changes nothing individually.
