Short answer for : low‑PR links can still help, but "PR" from the old Google Toolbar is no longer a reliable indicator — the public Toolbar PageRank stopped being updated and the visible meter was removed. Focus on the signal the link actually gives (relevance, editorial context, traffic), not a single toolbar number. (searchengineland.com)

Many responders here (for example , and ) were on the right track: what matters is topical fit and editorial value, not an arbitrary metric. When you evaluate a weak-looking link, ask: is the page topically relevant; is the link placed in the main content (not a footer or paid widget); is the site indexed and getting organic traffic; does the anchor text look natural? Those human-value signals are what experienced link builders look for. (pageonepower.com)

Avoid shortcuts. Buying or otherwise trading links to manipulate rankings is against Google’s guidelines and can cause manual actions; large-scale guest-post campaigns or repetitive, keyword-stuffed anchors are exactly the kinds of patterns that draw attention. Treat paid or manipulated placements as risks, not opportunities. (developers.google.com)

Also be aware of link attributes: Google now supports rel="sponsored" and rel="ugc" in addition to rel="nofollow", and treats these attributes as hints rather than absolute blocks — so a nofollow/sponsored tag usually prevents a link from acting like an editorial vote, but such links can still have discovery or indirect value. Use attributes correctly for paid or user-generated links. (developers.google.com)

Practical next steps: audit your profile with Google Search Console and an SEO tool, try to remove obvious spammy links by contacting webmasters, and only use the Disavow tool after genuine removal attempts or if you face a manual action (follow Google’s disavow guidance). In short: low‑PR links are not toxic by default — relevance and legitimacy decide value. (developers.google.com)

In my own experiences, backlinks from lower PR sources would be also helpful for your sites' PR if only they are decent and dofollow. :)

Have a nice day,

If you post your links to higher PR sites then it will increase traffic to your site more than the sites with lower PR. But it wouldn't have any negative effect.

Sure! Low PR links from a relevant and "authoritative" resource is much better for your site than high PR links from non-relevant resources.

All in all though.. i wouldn't put much weight in Google Toolbar PR. It has no bearing on how your site will rank in the search results pages. It really boils down to quality of content, optimized on-site components, and relevancy.

You should build normal back link, it means whatever PR should be got

Still the low PR links carries value to your site but it is less than high PR links. I don't think it will do any harm to your site if you are getting less PR links. Instead, it will give you some more benefits in traffic. However, make sure that you are getting links from NON-SPAMMY pages.

Any link is a good link. It adds to the overall recognition of your site, of course higher pr links are better, but as long as you have the relevant anchor text it should contribute something to your site possibly increasing your sites pr.

Member Avatar for memejerommel

Low pr links still have effect to your site but not that much as like. But you don't have to ignore low pr site because every backlinks are counted as backlinks.

I too find the links from low Pr sites, but relevant, are not taken negatively by Google
