Will hi level PR dissapate linking to lower level PR sites

anyine have the answer?

Lets say a PR6 site links to a PR 0 site. I understand that PR 0 gains somethnig. But what does PR6 gain (or lose )

[Uniterra]

I can only speak from personal experience, but I linked four totally new domains (PR of 0) from a site with a PR of 6. The new sites were indexed almost immediately by many search engines but the site I linked them from dropped almost immediately after the last Google update.

Not only has my site maintained PR, but it has maintained that same PR6 since PR (Page Rank) became an issue...for some.

I currently link out to over 5,000 educational sites and have never lost any PR. Never.

Uh, that's five years worth of 'never'.

The PR6 page loses nothing except the ability to transfer that PR internally to another page on the same domain, or another site of yours.

Your users, however, will gain a lot (and you will gain their respect) if you link to a good resource for them.

Win win situation.

If you link to a bad neighbourhood (a banned page in google) you risk the experience of the first post in reply to yours.

hi penancist,

but has your PR increased fopr all that link exchanging?

[pendanticist]

I don't exchange links, per se. I select which site(s) to include based on my personal criteria of that academically focused site.

To answer your question directly, no. Quality - to - Quality is the key.

Unlikely the 6 will lose PR. I would definitely attribute the drop to the linking, though. Especially if they are on the same IP base. Cross linking is a touchy subject.
