I am (re)considering selling links on my PR7 (probably strong PR7 (*))

Do you think PR transfer was prevented last time? Looked like it.

As far as I know, no.

Did you see any of the pages you linked to move in PR terms? I'd
expect to see at least high PR5 pages and realistically PR6 from a
site wide link.

But I prefer the links to be more related, and only
limited to the front page.

Site wides are a very bad idea.

In my experience lots of lower PR links from many sources work better
than a few (or one) high PR link for increasing rankings even when the
one link passes more PR (though not several times more) overall!

You'd be better off with adding affiliate stuff, it will rank quickly
and you'll have complete control over the content added.

I am looking further into that, I might email you next week (if the offer
still stands :-) ).

Yep, no problem :-)

(*) might be 8 next year, or at least I hope so, and I am working on it
:-)

Good luck with that!

I'm spreading my PR out, I'd rather have 8 PR5 sites (home pages) than
1 PR6 home page, can make more money that way.

My "problem" is that I probably get more ibls than I can spread out :-)

That's a nice problem to have :-)

(If such a thing exists, I still haven't read PR papers). Or: I am not
hoarding PR to get that 8. I guess it will just happen.

The PR you get is spread to wherever you link to, you can either
concentrate it on a small number of pages (useful if after really hard
SERPs) or spread it out over multiple sites or pages.

Lets say all your links go to the home page (no incoming links to
internal pages at all). This means all (ignoring intrinsic PR) your PR
for other pages of your site are derived from your home page through
your linking structure.

With an average PR7 page and working with a base of 8 and a dampening
factor of 0.85 you could link directly to about-

7 internal pages making them each an average PR6

50 odd internal pages making them each an average PR5

over 400 internal pages making them each an average PR4

BTW quick way of working this out here
http://www.seo-gold.com/tutorial/pagerank.html

The links don't have to be to internal pages, so your PR7 home page
(assuming it's an average PR7) could make 50 PR5 home pages or 400 odd
PR4 home pages.

So how you link determines how your PR is spread. It's a little more
complex in the real world since not all links will be to the home
page, but doesn't really matter as I'm sure you get the big picture.

Based on what I've been doing the last couple of years I'd rather have
a lot of PR5 pages than a handful of PR6+. You are stuck with your PR7
home page because you don't control the incoming links, but you can
determine to a degree the PR of internal pages and could make quite a
bit of money from your site without using a fraction of your link
benefit. Basically PR5 home page (or main page for a new section) can
be more than enough to do really well with a largish site.
