Need advice about Pagerank

Hi,

I am a new reseller. My site's got pr0. An SEO just told me I need PR links badly.

Searching for "web hosting reseller forums", the #1 link i came to was "Resellerboard.com". Seems to be a growing community of close to 2000 members.

My question is : should i buy a link with them? they are PR6. And seem to have a good market for my new biz. Also, they seem highly ranked on all engines.

As pagerank is very confusing to me, can anyone also tell me if their charge of $35 per month for a PR6 link is reasonable? I know I saw textlinkbrokers sell their PR6 links at $45 and above.

Hope to get some advice from folks here. If not, I may just go ahead and try for 1 month.

Thanks in advance for all replies.

PR is just a measure of the amount (and quality) of your inbound links. What you do not want to do is rush out and start buying high PR links, Google does not like it when your website goes from "zero to hero".
If your site is new then it is highly likely that your are suffering from the "sandbox" effect - this is where Google automatically devaules a new website until it thinks it can "trust" it - how long you stay there is really a "how long is a peice of string" question...

My advice would be to start a slow / long term link building strategy - submit to lower PR web directories (free ones) and you will soon see your PR jump to PR3 / PR4 - this is what I would call normal.
To get higher is where you need to start getting better quality backlinks - these you will need to pay for usually but make sure you pay for links from relevant websites and not just any old website.

In addition Google is suffering a massive lack of credibility due to the many garbage they display after its own Adsense programme encouraging ads farms.

If your are concerned about pagerank link exchange could be work, unless you are linking to irrelevant sites in your quest for better page ranking.

I really, really, wouldn't advise worrying about PageRank at all.
