Does a PR7 domain alias to a PR6 domain help the latter site?

[irock]

I don't know how to condense the subject. So my question is simple: if I buy a PR7 domain that is extremely relevant to my own my site & domain, and choose to do a domain alias of this PR7 domain to my PR6 site, will my PR6 site benefit from this?

The reason I want to buy that domain is because the other site has a PR9 linked to it permanently.

Thanks.

hmm .. well "if it sounds too good to be true it usually is" is ringing in my ears ...

It may be a great thing to do .. I just have to question if anything is really "permanent" irock ... you may feel the site may be permanently linked to it .. I dont believe that ... and that pr9 for sure is not a certainty .. only one organisation has responsibility for that aspect and they dont offer any guarantees.

Mark,

they have been doing it for over 3 years... I don't see why they would suddenly pull the plug. but I'm not buying that site entirely for that PR9 link. That site also has tons of other links/stuff that I want.

Fair enough irock .. after all you rock :-) but I think the strategy of buying websites is best for those that know what they are about ... if thats you then fine.

I will be speaking to a prospective new customer later today who bought a site from a business thinking that it was a great way to get onto the internet quickly with a relevant site.

He did not it appears know what he was doing because what he now owns is not worth owning - and the associated "developer" has it appears failed to do anything that he has asked them ..

Mark,

i'm sorry... i have difficulty understanding this line...
