I have found that people are creatures of habbit, people who start reading articles at a low pr site continue to read from that same site. So yes, you will get clicks from them. I use submission services, so it is not a big deal to me. and sometimes they do ger reprinted from them.

the downfall of low PR directories is because the directory is doing something wrong, this is why they have low pr.

What they do wrong is put a no-follow tag to rob the writer of the link to prevent PR bleed. Now, most seo companies (mine included) build links to their article pages. And i will not bother getting links to an article that is published on their directory if the have a no follow tag. so they are killing their own pr by trying to save pr.

But you may get some clicks anyway, i just do not make the extra effort to make sure there are a few dozen links to the article page on the directories site.

I know, you are wondering why i would build links to an article on someones directory. Well, it is simple. If i place a couple dozen links to an article, it will gain PR, and if they have a pr3 page in a directory, it will not be removed in 6 to 18 months. Would you delete a PR 3 page from your site???? Plus it give me a higher pr link that = more powerfull link for me.


and the pr 6 means nothing as far as the link you get from the article. Value of the link is calculated from the PR of the page the link is on, not the pr of the index page, so all new articles are calculated as a pr0 from the start, as that articles page grows in pr, so does the power of the link.
