Few High PR links vs. Several lower PR links

[Dan]

As per post title which do users think is better in there experience for PR?

Is it only worth submitting to high PR directories? Obviously the more links the better, but is submitting to 300+ directories actually worth it for the time it takes, when several directories will collapse fairly rapidly?

What are your thoughts.

I think it would be worth the time, I mean, it doesn't take that much time to submit to each directory. I pay people to do it for me though, $10 for 100 directories, not bad.

Who do you use for that kaabi?

I'm pretty lazy when it comes to stuff like this, I hate monotonous work such as this!

[Kaabi]

Well, on DigitalPoint.com, there are plenty of people out there who will do it. I think people are doing 100 for $8 now, if they are, I think I'll buy another c-note.

Usually, for SERP improvement, it is better to have a lower PR relevant site than higher PR sites that are not relevant. Other factors also enter into it, e.g. number of outgoing links on the page that is linking to you, is the link text keyword rich, etc.content also play a role. A unrelated site yet quality content may pass more value than a related link from a links page or otherwise low quality section. Don't base it on PR. Base it on relevance and link position.

Gracia that makes a lot of sense. I would have thought that even if it is low-PR, lots-of-outgoing links, if it was highly related, you'd get a lot from it.

Dan, do not revive old threads. This thread is over a year old.

I would give it a try if I was you. My company does that but with more bang for your buck. There are services out there just look around. It is definitely worth it I think.

@Xav: As far as I know, now we are allowed to revive old threads, as long as you add something of value.. I'm not sure if that post falls under that category.

Anyways, last summer I worked as a SEO/SEM Person.. and instructions were:
Every website that is related is OK
Unrelated Websites need to be high PR to be OK...

And I guess that is the best way when it comes to backlinks!
