"A single post on Techcrunch is worth more link wise, than a million PR1-3 blogs posting about your latest link bait strategy."
I don't have a link to provide as proof but I'm pretty sure based off of my memory and anecdotal evidence I've read on the web that links from the big Nerdy Tech Blogs actually drive little to no converting traffic.
So in that case, I would much rather take the million links in the hope that the people who come along that chain will convert better than the half-literate TechCrunch commentators would.
- vaksel 17y agowe are not talking about traffic here, we are talking about SEO, and link juice is logarithmic, the difference from PR4^10 links = 1 PR5
- bjplink 17y agoFirst of all, based on my own personal experience, I don't buy that formula for one second. Secondly, a link on a TechCrunch post is by no means a high PR link for any decent length of time. You MIGHT get your link on their front page for a few hours before it rolls off into the archival abyss. Maybe if you're lucky, over time and with enough inbounds link to that post, you'll get some juice out of it. I guess my point, which was lost because I didn't clarify well, is that a link from TC (in terms of traffic or SEO purposes) is probably overrated.
