Personal preferences would apply there I would think.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I`m gonna ask anyway: your own PR is useless, but backlinks from sites with high PR are worth more than links from sites with low PR?

only to the people who think it is important and of course the money grabbers who are more than willing to pander to their foibles.

[sarcasm]
Wow, that made everything so much clearer!
[/sarcasm]

No really, is a link from a high PR site worth more? Or is it more important that the link come from a site within the same niche?

NO and No and a link from "the same niche" is not the "valuable" either.

So what kind of link should one try do get then?

Useful ones that will send qualified visitors

Looks like we`re talking about two different things here; putting your link in a place that will get you the "right" visitors is good, but I`m talking about links from a climb-on-google perspective.

they are the same things

begging pointless links because of the useless imaginary PR "value" is just a waste of effort.

Question being is WHY do you want to "climb-on-google"?

Why I wanna be on top of Google? You really have to ask that? Makes me consider going elsewhere with my questions. If I really have to answer that question you obviously have no idea what you`re talking about.

Are you saying that some random link that "send qualified visitors" even if it`s PR0 is worth just as much as a, say, PR5 link from another place that "send qualified visitors"?

Yes.

Because I do not know what YOUR motivation is.

Why, O, why do you have to know that? Money, off course. Whattahell ye think?

And why would you think that being "No 1" or even on page 1 would bring in money?? because you are wrong.

Over the sites that I have or look after there are many "page 1" rankings, very few of those bring in revenue and the pages that do bring traffic and revenue are often don't appear in the SERPs for the words/phrases that they get clicked through for. And there are more direct links that bring revenue without a search engine being involved anywhere at all.

Because I`m already making a ****load of money on #3? And with only 1 of my keywords ranking, with a site that is less than 2 months old.

Ok, digging for a clear answer: exactly where would you put such a link if you`re in, say the credit card niche?

Where people might be looking for such a site. But the useless toolbar PR wouldn't be a consideration in the decision

Because I`m already making a ****load of money on #3? And with only 1 of my keywords ranking, with a site that is less than 2 months old.

And how do you know that is because it is #3??

What you see as the "ranking" is not necessarily what others see.

And where would people look for a site like that? Google, maybe? No?

Erh maybe I`ve got statistics that show me where my visitors come from...? Oh and you know what, 95% of them comes from G00gle. After typing in my phrase, mind you.

95% from Google. Hmmm! that's a very bad ratio, leaves your income extremely vunerable to the vagiaries of the search engines.

And less than two months, so that will be about two weeks away from taking a sudden nosedive.

Be sure to keep us updated when it does.

And why should I be taking a "nosedive"?

"extremely vunerable to the vagiaries of the search engines"? While leaving your link in a place that "send qualified visitors" gets you rock steady traffic, right? Haha...
