Thread: Does linking to google.com improve PR?

Save everyone the trouble of voting... no it doesn’t help in the slightest, however do link to Google it’s still a cool search engine in my books.

You can put a link to them on your homepage and ask for a link back on the top left of their homepage. Fair swap init, link for a link.

(Yes I do get alot of those emails 2)

There is more to this question than meets the eye.

To Google - pos. To other high PR on topic sites I would say yes. It has given some of my pages a boost when comparing onpage and offpage factors.

The topic open to debate but I would say linking to ontopic sites is of benefit. Herasy they say - well its better than Heresay!

Agree with getvisible, linking to other high PR on topic sites definitely gives a boost to your rankings, its increases your worth in regards to relevance to google. But it also increases their PR as you are giving them a pat on the back.

Got one big company who is dominating your results, pool together with all the lower ranking sites who can't compete, exchange relevant links with good link text, bring the big one down?

Linking to google just for the sake of it does not help in the slightest.

Why else do you think Google has such a high PR? Because other websites link to it. :-)

best

PS, I don't for one moment believe that google staff might 'hand tweak' their results to give themselves a high PR... :-))))

I heard linking to my sites will give u mucho PR.. link away boys
