Which site is better: Higher PR/higher link popularity OR site more indexed pages?

[Michel32]

I would like to buy 'text link ad' on someone's else Web site. My link will be placed on all pages of particular Web site. Therefore I am wondering what is better for my search engine optimization (building back links, PR, etc.) - 2 scenarios:

1. Placing my link on a PR 5 Web site with 17,500 pages indexed with google & 529,781 back links (= link popularity) OR

2. Placing my link on a PR 3 Web site with 224,000 pages indexed with google & 150, 204 back links (= link popularity)

Regarding my opinion Scenario 2 will create me much more back links (224,000 pages) to my Web site, but Web site Scenario 1 has a higher PR & Link Popularity!!

What is your opinion Here? Which Web site should I choose for my 'text link ad' to buy?

Let me know...

Many thanks!

Go for the PR

I would definately go for option 1.

The fact that it has 3x more link popularity means it's PR is probably on the up, where as the popularity of the second option might be slipping. Plus Google isn't only concerned with how many backlinks you have, it's also how many backlinks your backlinks have, so to speak...

I would do both. Everything helps. Just don't go for PR.

Senerio #1 sounds like the way to go. Getting backlinks on a site with a high PR is the best.

In this case, the PR seems legit so go for #1...but just to let you know that fake PRs are showing up more and more.
