Its simple BUY your way out. This is the link strategy of on steroids. Passing down of PR is counter to googles strategy "the cream will rise to the top" and they have outsmarted themselves and saved us the trouble of outsmarting them. This has and will always be the problem that google has - THEY ARE NOT BIGGER THAN THE INTERNET. The sooner G understands this is the sooner the link strategy will fail to become relevant.
Here is my link strategy on "link building on steroids"
Simply create your website....Make sure you have say 100-150 pages of solid content.
Throw it up and get a IBL from a PR8 website but be prepared to hold it for a year. How do you get that BUY IT of course just make sure its related, even though G,Y and M cant tell the difference
Once G has noticed you even before you submit and grabs your site map it will index and pass down page rank throughout your website. Then turn around and sell links. Thats right to the same company you bought from or another company who cares..!
Use this revenue to buy other medium PR links 4-5-6 and hold them. Your PR should continue to go up to at least close to a PR8.
During this time continue to add at least three (YES THREE)pages of good content each day - more if you can.
IMHO this is what SEO companies arent telling us and can do so well. Once you have the content why pay huge fees say $150 per hr to solicit links "HA" are these guys 4 real...
Anyway I would love some feedback on this link strategy guys Am I wrong or am I wrong
Buys a link for USD$100.00 per month from a link broker and his/her PR automatically goes to PR6 with so much optimized content race past the next dummy (ME) spending 600 Bucks to that SEO company and working tirelessly to get natural back links. Linking is just about how much you are willing to spend.
Tell the guys in the forum the truth its about buying links and about being smart about it!
So G and Y and M are really just an advertising farse really and link building just is actually link buying...
Your thoughts
What SEO companies really do for their clients is link acquisition. They are the Link Broker companies main clients. Further, many SEOs have a network of sites they can point to their client sites, others have in-house link building programs, and others go out and buy links for your site. Some SEO companies do all three.
The SEOs fill a needed service, most people are clueless on how to get good links and the SEO companies do that for you. However, if you want to save lots of money, and not be tied to an SEO company forever, spend a week learning the few simple rules of onsite optimization then learn how to buy, trade, and beg links on your own.
If you have tons of money, hire and SEO and focus on your money making ideas.
You can get top serps rankings without so much focus on PR.
its about buying links and about being smart about it!
If that's the extent of your understanding, you need to slow down and read the Link Dev Library.
;)
But if that's what some companies are offering you, I'm not surprised. I think that's due to a lack of imagination. There's a ton that can be done, but if $600 is expensive for you, you may not be able to afford a competent proposal. So you get what you pay for.
"Google uses OBL to determine PR but uses IBL to determine popularity and placement in the SERPS - This is why purchasing links is not just about PR"
That MHO. If thats the case then its perfectly logical to assume that SEO companies really are just broker houses for IBL. I am in the process of discussing this plan with a popular company and I will keep everyone here posted on the outcome
Are we making it harder than it really is?
Maybe, depends on how you're doing it. But obtaining quality inbound links is not easy. Which is one reason (of many) why some turn to shortcuts.
I'd have to say that the links work, assuming you have good content to offer.
Case in point, one of my so called competitors is using my keyword in tons of text links all over the net, to point to an article on his website. When in fact, his actual product is very loosely related to the search term in question.
He also uses a heavy recip. link strategy. So yes, i'd say the link thing works.... and the only reason I say that is - My top competitor, who literally does have the right to be #1 and I do respect them, is now #3. My top competitor not only has the content, but also has a truck load of one-way links to back it up. He's simply thrown down just because of the SE's crappy 'text link' theory in the algo. resulting in this second rate hack with recip links to take #1 with a dumb article that does nothing but blabber on aimlessly.
Sorry... for guys like me working so hard at doing this the good, honest way... it's just frustrating to see some second rate hack take first place. Then listen to google flaunt how intelligent they are, and how they can spot this, that, and everything else.
oh boy... sorry about that.

Let’s keep apples to apples here as well. Outside of a few minor valuations (selling text links and minor research work) Page Rank has little in the way of recuperative value. It’s SERPs and moreover, targeted traffic that is important. I can show you PR0 (yup, flagged for accidental DUPE content) that ranks number ONE for a term with an excess of 410 million in competition. I just checked for fun, and there is a PR8 that is 2 spots below it. So what’s the point?
Your theory is ‘true’ but limited and wouldn’t have the kind of results needed for more competitive markets.
