This may be a little late but thanks for this great article that clears up some questions I have had about this “linkerati” concept. I am going to be following the links that you have in your post and see what I can do to use this effect

Wayne: Hmm. I’m not familiar with Justin Rose. But I stopped watching golf after Jack Nicklaus stopped winning :)

Good attitude, though. We’ll see if Google’s new algo pemits sites to easily retain their lost PR. Although since they’re so secretive, good luck to all of us who lost PR.

Oh, I’ve no doubt that I’ll make it back where I was.

If golf is to be the analogy, didn’t Justin Rose make it through a few years ago, even though he didn’t have the standing to begin with?

Wayne: Yeah, it’s a tough game sometimes, especially with a blog with “low” PR. I constantly have to think of different ways to build links for new sites – mine and that of clients. Sometimes, though, that comes simply from writing from the heart, not with expectation of getting links. No intention of being mystical – simply stating an observation.

Not too helpful, I know, but hang in there. It’s like a golf swing: so many things to get right, but when you get it, and follow through, you know it’s right.

Hi Raj!

As you know from the last time I commented on one of your articles, I was PR 5 up until about 3 weeks ago, when I changed web addresses.

So depending on how people come to my ‘blog, I’m both very low and relatively high.

I ran an article today featuring feedback from other ‘bloggers. I gave them all the chance to specify what anchor text they’d like from my article to their ‘blogs.

So I’m all from spreading a little link luv.

Over time, the ‘up link’ from me to them might be a little more evenly balanced…

@Wayne: All back-links from “good” sites are good. Ideally, you want lots of links from high PR sites, but “natural” linking evolution would suggest more low-PR links in the early history of most blogs. So there’s the temporal factor, too.

Brad: It’s one of those persistence things. You have to pick the right people to write about, link to them, and keep at it. However, you shouldn’t write about the linkerati just for the sake of doing so. Add something into the mix, some unique perspective.

Here’s a weird thing. I’ve done this on both high PR and low PR blogs, and linkerati will most likely respond if your PageRank is high (4+). (Sounds like a dilemma, so you have to find your way to a certain plateau first before climbing to the next plateau. It really is exponentially harder to get to higher levels in the blogosphere.)
