I recieved an email today about being listed on a PR 6 site for 20 bucks for the year. Seems to be valid but is their any benefit from that? Will it raise my pr which is three to higher?

Isn't there something like the more external links on a page, the less pr power juice it gives to them? Seems like having 100 links like that would be spammy.

Hi,

Something wrong with those sites.
Check backlinks, yahoo explorer and google.

Sorry to Hijack your thread but how exactly is that site PR6?

I know it's PR6 because the google toolbar says so but....

It has 4 backlinks, all are PR0 and one is nofollow.

Is it possible the sites got banned from google?

Right now the PR update is still happening so in a few weeks you'd know for sure the final PR for those sites. I get these types of emails a lot about buying high PR links but i never do that.

It's not banned from google but the domain is over 7 years old so that might count for something.

I have a feeling the domain was a drop and someone just picked it up and its still a PR 6.

I serisously would save your $20

I thought it sounded fishy which is why I posted it on here first.

I wouldn't pay a buck for either link for a few reason.
1. the first link has 47 OBL, the 2nd has 33..They are selling the links relatively cheap to the public..Google will not like this and their pr will drop... You can see for example, this site was bragging that it was a pr6 as well.. if you look at the archives and check the source, you'll see that it had a similar pr images even.. "/images/valid-pr-6.gif" this is the site, you can check yourself..
2. Google and Yahoo both show only a few if any backlinks to the domains.
3. it's a link farm, you wont get any visitors from these sites.


I bought into a couple of these sites when I first started out. None brought any referral traffic, and once the latest google update that killed all the site selling links, all those sites are now pr0 and no traffic.


anyways, my two cents..
