Niche Related backlinks or high pr?

[ThunderC]

what kind backlink do you guys think is better seo wise?

a link from a not niche related site which is pr3 and has a good DA/PA authority with a low OBL
or a site in the exact niche as mine, with pr0, low DA/PA and med-high OBL?


would love to hear some opinions

Ideally, what you want are high PR, editorially granted, niche-related, in-content links. Since these are the coelacanth of backlinks, order of importance is (generally speaking) as follows: 1.) High PR (still) --> 2.) Relevant, niche-related --> 3.) in-content links comprised of unique copy (not "Copyscape passed"), that have been editorially granted by the site owner.

If you can get all of those in one, understand your niche's link graph, and how your competitors did what they did, you're on the bullet train to #1.

Niche relevant link are good for long term, if you can get both that will help you boost your ranking as well as get long term results.

thanks for the replies, but if you could choose 1 of the above, what would it be?

High PR links.

I cannot emphasize this enough. No matter what anyone tells you, it's basically about PR.

 

[keytenx]

i would prefer the niche related one over the high PR.

 

[saonbd]

Depends on your goals, if you need long term rankings then go for niche relevant links, but if you need quick rankings but not for 1 year+ then go for just high pr backlinks.

Relate niche backlink its for your serp, Hight PR site backlink for encrease your pagerank, relate niche site with hight pr backlink is much better, just combine them both...

 

[The SEO]

The weight and value of niche related backlinks are more than high pr backlinks, because they will increase your SERP instantly generate decent amount of traffic as well.

High PA/DA related niche backlinks are the best but hard to find for non-overused niches. In my opinion PA/DA > PR; I'd choose a PR1 with DA 39 over a PR4 with DA 20. Or if you have the money build a private niche related blog network and backlink it, best links you can have.

yeah, i was actually thinking about that, but it's way too time consuming, as i'll need diffrent hosts etc

I would choose the niche related but really depends if the page has backlinks.

I'd go with niche related links if I were you - I've been penalized before for having links from "high" pr sites that weren't niche related. If it was a site you really cared about, I'd also study the content and S.E.O strategy of the sites you want to link to yours.

High PR and a couple niche realated ones.

If I could only get one or the other though I'd take PR anyday. You can always do forum sigs on niche related places to substitute (yes, still works)

High pr with niche relevant anchor links will do very well.

 

[Stizerg]

I would get niche relevant link only if source site is somewhat big, not just a couple of pages, and again, domain has some PR. It doesn't give much SERPs improvements, but a bit of traffic. Niche relevant directories work the best for me.
And links from high PR pages to boost authority, PR and SERPs.

High PR links.

I hope this is not gonna work in long run. I surely doubt that google is gonna introduce some other update to kill the sites which have irrelevant backlinks. I would like to stick to niche backlinks thinking of long run. I am already hit by panda and dont wanna get hit again. Wanna keep this natural and ethical this time. Though they are low pr niche links but they have the impact on search results for sure.

i believe only niche related links are future and totally safe

i never use anything but related links and never had any problems
