A matter of fact, i do not really focus on building PR because it makes a webmaster loses focus on performing SEO. My advice: Do not spend too much time studying the PR because everything changes over time, however real and informative content stays permanent.

Hola Ibiza – I used to use forum links all the time. It’s identifying the strongest pages on the forum that’s the time consuming bit. Oh, and at the time, I didn’t care the post was a year old sort of thing – i was ‘mining for pagerank’.

I don’t linkbuild via forums for Page Rank any more – only topically similar forums for anchor text relevance or discovery links and even then it’s so small scale.

I just don’t think forums pass that much visible PR these days.

Toolbar is not really to be trusted though – it’s too buggy (and they made it that way on purpose)

hola Scotland.

there doesn’t seem to be much reason in the way it works lately at all does there? we have pages you’d expect to have greenery still greyed out, and some you wouldn’t expect much from at PR4.

I’ve always thought the best link out from most forums is from your profile, and the RSS feeds on posts might still be useful.
