Whoa, good luck with that Tapanti! How much do PR8s go for nowadays, if you don't mind me asking? Now this thread is getting me all depressed with my low-on-the-totem-pole PR6

Thank you! I'm still waiting for the next Google BL & PR update to see what happens, but honestly, the PR value is not very important to me, since I'm getting top positions for most of my high level target keywords. For me, having a high PR is more kind of an ego trip.

The price of the PR8s nowadays can vary very much from place to place, but the minimum price will hardly be below $200 per month for a single-page text link. But some sites charge up to $500 for a link like these.

But on the other hand, there are a few tricks that can get you a few PR8 backward links for free! And since this is a learning forum I don't mind sharing a couple of them with the community.

The 2 examples I'm going to give just require a few hours of work and some creativity.

1- Go to spreadfirefox.com, register if you haven't yet, and contribute by submitting a wall paper, some artwork, etc. You can put a link to your web site on your profile, but you have to contribute in order to have a link from a public place to your profile, and allow spiders to find it. Profiles on spreadfirefox.com have PR8. Of course; it would be great if you also help SPREAD FIREFOX!

2- Go to csszengarden.com and contribute by creating a design. All designs submitted have a link to the page of the creator and they are PR8. And boy… you can learn serious CSS from that place! There are some simply astonishing designs.

You have no idea the difference a couple of PR8s can do to your SE positions.

Hope this helps, and if you have some other tips like the 2 previous, please share.

PR5 on most major content pages and index page. PR4->PR2 for forum pages. Of course PR doesnt matter a damn unless yer selling links on your page or if you're a member of the digitalpoint ad network.
