I have someone with a PR0 site that is linking to me. Will this harm my site or only if I have a large number of PR0's linking to me?
Thanks,
Jon

IMHO it will not influence your site no matter how many PR0s link to you because some silly webmasters could put links to your site on their PR0 sites and destroy your PR with that. Google wants to avoid that, so this will not affect your site's ranking or PR.

In bound links from a PR0 site shouldn't harm you unless you link back. I have a site with about a hundred sites linking to me and most are PR0. I have a PR6 because I only trade links with equal or higher PR sites.

That is good to know and a relief too.
But, what is all this talk then about avoiding sites with a PR0 link?

It would be too easy if an Evil Webmaster could destroy your PR by linking to you from a PR0 site. Usually, PR0 just means the site is new and doesn't have enough rank to get even up to PR1.
