Quesiton about Google PR linking

[clickhappy]

I asked this in the main forum but it dropped like a rock lol

Should you buy links on sites with high PR but no traffic?
I bought some links on sites who have good page rank, but that have no traffic. Theyre sending me nothing so far. Its been about a week.

I dont understand getting linked by a site who has a high pr but low traffic.

Am I better off just buying traffic, or keeping these links going?

If you get a link from a high PR site back to yours, it can help raise your site's PR. The amount raised depends on how many outgoing links that site has. If it has tons, then you won't get much of a boost, but if its just a few, it could be helpful. Higher PR should get your listed higher in Google, and help with the traffic.

check that sites backlinks first, the amount of pages indexed etc, then make your decision, you'll quickly realize whats quality and whats not.

It depends if you're after a short term gain, or a long term one ...

Exctly what Cash said.

You'd be better using money to pay for SEO on your pages (if you don't wanna do it yourself) and getting your link plugged on a ton of high profile blogs. That way you won't have a ton of oncoming links 'overnight' but they'll definitely be seen by the bots surfing by...

yup, thats true, fast growing incomming links are bad.
also, make sure that not all of your incomming links are high PR, as the bots will understand that they were bought or something.
so you need to have like 1-2 PR4, 5-10~ PR 2, 10-15 PR 1 etc.
