I had this question brimming in my mind that what factors can really count for your PR. I understand that getting one way links from high PR pages can play a major role.
But, is it possible that you get a decent PR by investing in one way links? For example, I plan to buy 15-20 high PR links from PR4-PR8. Of course, I will have good content on the site as well.
Would I be able to get a decent PR in a month's period if I spend considerable time in SEO, and getting high PR links.
Just a thought, I would like to see what others have to say on this topic?
You can achieve higher rankings within a month but the PR Google toolbar likely won't reflect your increased PR for a few months. However, keep adding pages and unique content to your site and adding inbound links as you have started to do and you will see better search engine rankings.
Thanks for the reply. I will be adding fresh content almost every day. Upto 5-6 things a day. Also, I plan to purchase lot of high quality relevant high PR links. Lets see where it goes.
Make sure you make those link acquisitions from really respectable sites if possible with a PR 6 or better. Looks for sites that are somewhat related to yours but there are arguements about whether related is really necessary with inbound link...search engines realize that any site can link to any site. (this is likely a thread of its own). Hope this helps.
Contributors and readers of this thread might be interested to read the following (rather huge discussion) regarding buying and selling of links in attempts to increase Google page rank.
It would seem that Google are already well on the way with their plans to attempt to put a stop to paid links affecting Page Rank. In concise terms, Google do not want page rank skewed by the selling and buying of links - their aim is to disregard links that have been bought/sold in terms of page rank. Therefore, buying links for that reason alone is probably ill advised. Buying links for traffic is another matter entirely. This stance from Google is not new, they have always advised that buying links solely in an attempt to increase page rank is not a strategy they like or condone. They have advised for some time that paid links should include a 'rel=nofollow' tag and it seems that they are moving ever closer towards ignoring paid links as a PR determining factor.
I picked this up from another thread here on the forums that steered me to a blog post about John Chow's fall from Google grace - many seem to feel because of paid links - that is just a rumour however and I don't personally believe it stacks up.
This has opened a can of worms alright, with recriminations and accusations flying everywhere, but the arguments from webmasters and Google themselves make for interesting reading and will maybe help you in your future SEO plans.
Google page rank, as Larwee has already pointed out in his earlier post, is not any kind of guarantee of a high search engine ranking for a particular keyphrase or keyword search.
Likes are rated By the Title and content and the PR of the page, not the site it comes from, so You could get a PR7 page linking to your site and it not have any of your keywords in the title or content and it will be next to worthless, and it is a violation of the T.O.S. of all major search engines.
Buying links is risky, at best.
