Mealy-Mouthed PR Hunters

[glengara]

I'm getting increasingly peeved at the numbers of PR hunters complaining that G isn't recognising their high PR, "quality" links.

Here's an example I came across today ".. these are permanent text links appearing on the navigation menu on each site's home page and throughout the site."

Who's meant to be fooled by this rubbish, Google?

The sooner all this dross is identified and nullified, the better.

I just received an email asking for a reciprocal link... first the other site was not related to my own site's topic. Then the writer claim his site (hosted on a free service) had a PR of 5, but I check for myself and it actually only had a PR of 4. When I tried too look in the Google cache for that page, it was blank. The link pages to his reciprocal links was inside frames and trying to open up these pages into a new window shows 0 PR. Is there any benefit to trading links with such a site?

What do you mean by PR of 4 or PR of 5? What are PR hunters?

Thanks.

Greenthumb: PR = Google PageRank, read about it in the Google News forum... but if you read older posts, be aware that PR doesn't have the impact that it used to and that the rules for the flow of PR may vary.
