Is the power of a link measured by the site's PR or the page's PR?

If I were to go register at a forum with a PR of 7 and then go into my profile and leave a backlink (but my profile page had a PR of 0) how powerful would the link be?

--What is the most powerful way of backlinking with no investment? Participate in relevant forums and put your links in signatures. Create your reputation there and people will follow you.

Thats the best and easy methods.. but do never spam there. I've always wondered the exact same thing. Without investment all the SEO work obviously has to be done yourself and where you can leave a link, leave it. But do follow rules else your efforts will be useless. PAGE rank. It does seem that a high PR home page will leak PR to inner pages (like profiles) over a lengthy period of time, but Page Rank is still most important....it's not site rank.

That being said, another important and largely left out aspect is the number of outgoing links. 2 is a heck of a lot better then 100. To answer the original question...The PR of the page your link is on is what is important. Additionally, whatever link juice that page has is divided up between all of the outgoing links on that page minus the links that may have a no-follow attribute attached to them.

It is helpful. Quote: Originally Posted by thebitbotdotcom To answer the original question...The PR of the page your link is on is what is important.

Well, then it seems the only way to get high PR links would be:
To comment on a blog post with high PR and lose link power because the excessive amount of comments with links in the blog post.Rent out links on high PR pages.Guest blog post.
So, if you have no money and such at writing blog posts, you're screwed. I come to conclude now that forum signatures/profiles are worthless considering that they are all PR0. So it's not worth making them.

Would the power of a PR3 blog post with 100 comment links be more than a PR0 forum signature? The determining factor starts with the PageRank of that specific page. Although it goes a step further and looks at the PageRank and TrustRank of that specific domain. If all things equal, a backlink from a PR7 domain is far stronger than one from a PR0 domain. Well, I just came to a realization that alllll of the forums that I backlinked at in my signature probably weren't as powerful as I thought they would be when I was looking at the domain page rank rather than that of my profile page. So now I'm a little bit bummed out.

I need a more effective way of linking. Quote: Originally Posted by Scissorhands If I were to go register at a forum with a PR of 7 and then go into my profile and leave a backlink (but my profile page had a PR of 0) how powerful would the link be?

--What is the most powerful way of backlinking with no investment? Hi,

1. I think the PR juice would mainly come from the page with your contents and links but not from the domain you put your links.
2. Blogging and social bookmarking would be the most effective channels for building backlinks.

Have a nice day, When you create profile to a high pagerank domain, your profile page will only have PR0 so best hing to do is to create backlinks to your profile page.

--What is the most powerful way of backlinking with no investment? Forums links are countered as deep links,actually forums internal pages links back to forums home page so that Home Page get PR higher and if you get a link from internal pages is not bad. Even though the page itself is 0 it will eventually get higher because the juice from the main page will leak into the profile page. Ive seen some profile pages with pr 3 or higher.

I need a more effective way of linking. There are some great tips for attracting links here:

Let’s Go Fishing! Whatcha Got For Link Bait?

Here's my tip: forget about self-service links and work on attracting editorial/citation based links. A page gains pr from links to it, so an internal page with a link on a strong homepage site will leak seom pr to that inner page if that page is linked well.

Also depends where your link is on that page, an how many outbound links there are.

And remember relevancy - anchor text, page wording, all part of the seo analysis.

But in short - yes it does help but how much depends on the sites individual make up, links etc. A link in terms of traffic will always help regardless of PR or follow/nofollow. If you can get it, go for it! Quote: Originally Posted by MarketingDude A link in terms of traffic will always help regardless of PR or follow/nofollow. If you can get it, go for it!
Well, I don't backlink for traffic!


My theory on this subject is that SITES have authority, not PAGES. So if my link is on a page wit PR0 but the site is PR9, there is NO WAY Google will see it and give me no more power than that of a PR0 link.

So if www.site.com has PR9, and I leave a link on www.site.com/here that is PR0, I'm sure the link will have more juice than that of a PR0. Quote: Is the power of a link measured by the site's PR or the page's PR? Both! It is very complicated, noone can say how exactly.
