Thread: PR and directory listing question

Hi guys,
I run a couple of sites and want to clear up a question I'm unsure about to see if anyone can offer any advice or opinion.

We're all careful where we submit our websites to making sure that directories are relevant to our site and can give appropriate backlinks in relation to the sites niche if applicable, but what if the sites pass on your link to other directories that are not of relevance? Can too many inappropriate backlinks (and by inappropriate I mean irrelevant) damage your sites PR and rankings?

Secondly, if a directory is - for example PR4 - and you submit, am I right in thinking it is only the homepage of the site that is PR4? The page where your link appears will not be of that higher PR? I ask because if you have a PR4 site and all the links in the directory are PR0, surely that causes issues and drops your rank?

Any advice would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks for sharing this information.
