I would like to link www_googlestore_com, but I noticed that it's PR0.

Can I be penalized?

BTW, is there any affiliation program?

Interesting, i went searching for a Google affiliate program and came across this link:

[google.reporting.net...]

Appears to be Google's old affiliate program where they used to pay webmasters that put a google search box on there site $.01 cent for every search.

Or maybe since the site is still up and running, the affiliate program still works?

We used to be a member of the reporting.net affiliate scheme, which I beleive was cancelled several years back, at least for the 1c payment. In fact I think at times, Lycos and AV offered these programs as well, and at times up to 3c per click, when they were trying to monopolize the market! I think i remember signing up at 3c per click to both the AV and google schemes. Maybe it still works, but there is no payment.

I wonder why the site hasn't been removed/deleted then. :o

I distinctly remember getting a $25 check from Google via reporting.net. As I recall they ended it due to the "success" of the program.

Ok. And can I be penalized if I link www_googlestore_com?

I highly doubt you will be penalized for linking to the store.

I'd say that http://www.googlestore.com is at least PR8, judging from the links to it. It's a 302 redirect to https://www.googlestore.com though, and the Toolbar doesn't show PR for SSL URIs.
