PR no longer PR - 1?

Rule does not apply for my website

[djgreg]

I have a website which has backlink from a dmoz category which has PR9 but my site only has PR7?
It should have PR8 shouldn't it?

[FleaPit]

Not if there are lots of links in the category. PR is spread between links on the page therefore you are getting a smaller piece of the pie.

and it may be a low pr9 and you now have a high pr7....id be thankful for that personally..seeing as its the result of a single link..theres people out there begging and stealing links and getting pr6 with a couple of thousand backlinks!....

WHAT ODP category that has listed sites is PR9? The ODP home page is PR9.

djgreg,

Off topic:

Just checked your profile and the site list has a PR3, Maybe your note helped... Or it was just not a penialty at all.

I can't see the logic of Low PR v High PR, if you obtain a PR link PR9, with one/two links on the page, you should get a PR8.

It makes no difference if it is high PR9 or low PR9, you will end up with low PR8 or high PR8?

IMHO relevance of links plays an important part. I do know many disagree.

But I do know many sites are now selling "text links"

Some are new with very few links out, before you part with money, check the PR carry over.

The latest site/page I found offering links is PR8, the cost is $1000 per month, so far it seems relevant links PR does carry over, ie PR7.

Yet the none relevant links, Viagra etc stuff loses two or even three points, PR5/6.
The site in question has 5 links on the page.

What I'm saying is a PR8 link does look tempting, but you probably will end up with a PR5 or even less, a complete waste of money. You need to be on topic for big buck links.

Or a sole link

Oops sory no relevance to the original Q, but while I'm here what is the DMOZ cat with a PR9?

There isn't one, is there?

If there is, you have won the lottery

[FleaPit]

Sounds a little odd to me...

rfgdxm1:
yes now the ODP has 9 but some months ago it had a 10. And in the google directory where the site is listed too has a PR9. So I should receive a PR8 from them.

FleaPit:
There are about 15 links in the category.

CCowboy:
It is obviously not the site in my profile which I meant ;-)
