PR vs. OBL in backlink profile - what are the stats that matter?
- SEO |
Thought it would be interesting to see what opinions there were out there about the relative value of backlinks in regard to the page they are on, especially re: pagerank and no. of OBLs - be it a domain you are planning to buy (which is why I am currently thinking about this stuff again) or just different pages you are looking to drop a link on.
Which provides more value, would you say, out of these (domains in this case - and lets assume all other stats not supplied being equal, like relevance, domain age, dropped or not, contextual or non-contextual link):
Domain 1:
Has 5 PR3 backlinks, but they are all on quite high-OBL pages (directories, linklists, bookmarks, that sort of thing - not spam)
Domain 2:
Very low link value (i.e. no high-PR BLs), but has a contextual PR0 link from a major newspaper (root domain PR9)
Domain 3:
Has just one PR link, a PR6 from a .edu (legit, not a spam blog comment, but pretty high OBL, 500+, on a resources page)
Domain 4:
Has several PR1s BLs where it shares the page with only 2-3 other OBLs, plus a PR5 with a lot of OBLs
Domain 5:
Has sixteen PR3 BLs, but all off the same domain due to a sitewide, plus a PR5 from a large linklist (high no. of OBL).
All these sites would typically have at least several dozen low-to-no-PR BLs as well. None of them have gazillions of BLs, especially once sitewides are discounted.
OK, there are plenty more examples of these kinds of dilemma faced when assessing domains to buy (or pages to drop/buy links on) - what do people think about these factors, which of the above types of domain do you tend to favour?
