2 dumb "links" questions

[Paul Burke]

Hi all
Sorry if these sound like a dumb questions.

1: If I have a lot of quality outbound links (PR4 or higher) and
they do NOT link back to me, does it help *my* site with page ranking?

2 If I am appearing on someone else's site and their home page has a
page rank, but the link page that I appear on is not page ranked.
Does that affect me? Or is it best to only link from people that have
a PR on their "links" page ?

Thank you for any help. And if possible please reply before tuesday
(I am moving and will not be online for a long while)

plh

From what I can recall, they might contribute just a little bit. Someone
else can surely give you a better answer.

2 If I am appearing on someone else's site and their home page has a
page rank, but the link page that I appear on is not page ranked.
Does that affect me?

The effect is probably proportional to the PR.

Or is it best to only link from people that have
a PR on their "links" page ?

It's a rhetorical question, I think. High PR -> More crawling -> More visits
to your site.

last thing: pack computer.
first thing: unpack computer.

you can easily move several hundred kilometers and no one notices you're
offline.

I didn't know if a one-way outbound link would help my site.

The effect is probably proportional to the PR.

No idea. I will look. Thank you,,

Makes no difference. See below.

Totally wrong. Its over 5000 miles. Different country. Different
electric supply. New monitor needed. New ISP needed.

Thanks anyway

Of course not.

2 If I am appearing on someone else's site and their home page has a
page rank, but the link page that I appear on is not page ranked.

Google doesn't have a concept of "sites" for *page* rank. If a highly
ranked *page* links to one of your *pages* it will receive pagerank. If a
PR0 *page* links to your *page* it will only make a small difference.

Of course not.

I am not entirely sure you are right. Of course having hundreds of links to
big sites won't help, but I think having no links makes your page a 'dead
end' that's not worth crawling.

It is not a bad idea linking to some 'authorities'. It can result in weak
associations, I think...
