I've been asking site to link to me and many have but they are showing up as "related:" sites, which I believe does not count to ward PR.

What can be done, should I email google.com

I believe that these sites are showing up as related because Google has found these links on pages that also have your link on them.

Related sites has no implications in terms of PR. These are unrelated concepts with nothing to do with each other.

Hi steveb

I believe that this does count towards PR, google talks about same/related sies in there filed Patent.

So I believe that this is taken into account, maybe I'm wrong.

Well, believe what you want, but first of all if you are talking about the Hilltop related stuff, that also has nothing at all to do with pagerank.

Sites that link to and from you tend to show up as related sites. That is the basic point. There are no PR implications in that at all.
