I've heard you want your backlinks from a PR3 site or greater. So yesterday, I did about 4 hours of research and found 500 sites that are PR3 or greater in related topics to my current website. I split them up into blogs, forums, article directories, etc. Anyways, my question is about the actual difference between page ranks. So how many PR1 backlinks would equal 1 PR2 backlink? or how bout a PR10 backlink? Im sure there is no exact definition for this but I would like to understand the system a little better.

Thanks in advance!

    The difference between PR 1 and PR 2 is not worth the effort. Google doesn't take links below PR5 seriously.

    To equal PR 5 you would need 17,000 PR 1 links or 3000 PR 2 links.

    To equal PR 6 you would need 93,000 PR1 links or 17,000 PR 2 links

    To equal PR 7 you would need 509,000 PR 1 links or 93,000 PR 2 links

    Also PR6 and above are regarded as authority sites, so few big PR links are vastly more useful than hundreds of low PR links.

    I just spend a while trying to find a website where you could "calculate" how many pr1 links a pr2 link is worth etc.

    Can't seem to find it though, will keep looking

    You just wasted a entire day that you could have been posting to sites instead of doing research. PR means nothing and the only search engine that "half" uses it is google. There are a great deal more search engines than google.

    If you spent that entire day just posting on related sites and not worry about what their so-called PR was then you would be seeing results already.

    People really need to stop listening to bad advice about pr/do-follow/no-follow - The more you listen to your competition about these myths the more money you will continue to make your competition...
