When choosing a site for reciprical links, which do you consider, the pagerank of the "main index" page of the site or the page where they will place your link?
Also, if the main index page(home) is pr6 and the page where your link will appear is pr4 is this a good link exchange?
Which will push the pr to my site, the pr6 page or the pr4 page?
Well,... please explain. I really need your guys expertise.
Thanks guys for your help:)

The pagerank of any other page on the site does not matter.
I have another question i hope you can answer.
I have seen some sites with only a couple high pr5,6,7
links on their sites. If i have a pr3, pr4, and pr5 link on my site for a specific page, will i receive the highest pr from the pr5 link or will it be averaged out?
Or should i just drop the low pr links and keep the high pr5 link for this page?
Again, thanks for your help ken_b:)
I appreciate your help:)

The only use of PageRank for me is a verification that that page is indeed being indexed by Google.
I would not reject a link from a page just because it was a PR4, or PR1 for that matter.
That said, PR is a poor reason to be looking for links in many cases.
A link on a PR0 page that sends a bunch of well targeted traffic is worth more to me than a link on a PR5 page that sends no traffic.
But what about sites that have only a couple of links on their entire site? I have seen one site with a directory that only has about 35 links total and their site is pr5 on the index page. Why such high a rank for this site?
>>Also concerning linking, I have also read that linking campaigns where the website has thousands of links are no longer looked at as good. The engines are supposed to be now looking for only links from quality resources and not the total amount of links for the site. Advice?
>>>I agree with what you said ken_b about receiving traffic from pr0 sites but how does one know if a site has been penalyzed and now has a pr0 from this?
Linking to them might pose a problem? Advice?
>>>>Also, i was told to get only high pr links from sites. So if i only got high pr links, would this increase my chances of ranking high on the engines results pages? Or will getting all pr links be better for receiving traffic and ranking? What would be the better choice if i wanted to be shown on the engines results pages placing highly?
Again guys, thanks for your help:)

The only thing that I can tell you is that the above belief is not universally true.
>>>I agree with what you said ken_b about receiving traffic from pr0 sites but how does one know if a site has been penalyzed and now has a pr0 from this?
Linking to them might pose a problem? Advice?
PR0 is a quick way to detect the deterrence when it comes to scarcity of time. However, this does not mean that all PR0 sites or links are bad as ken_b suggested. You can easily find out whether the site is penalized or not by checking the site or page in the Google index.
For example, find the unique words or phrases of that site or page by site:thatdomaim.com those phrase. You have no reason to link to that site if it was not in any search engine's index.

You would be better of if thinking in term of anchor text. PR higher the better, though not necessary.
