      Is there a minimum Page Rank that we have to be aware of when looking to get a link from a webpage?

        Page rank is not what you should be looking at but how strong the domain authority , page authority , and how relevant it is to your site. You should also try to get links you expect people to click and go to your site from not just for the link.

          Let me rephrase the question by adding "if the domain is strong and relevant to your site". In my mind that was obvious...sorry.

            Not particularly, is the answer. A link is still a link and carries worth.

            If it's relevant, then fantastic! The thing you want to avoid is getting all of your links from one place, for example: 250 directory links and 10 websites. This is not natural and Google will be know this too!

            I usually only get links from 40 - 50+ Domain Authority sites. I'd recommend the same.

              As long as the site is relevant and isn't spammy then I wouldn't worry too much about the PageRank; even if the link does you no good it certainly won't do you any harm.

                Hi

                In addition of David & Paul i would like to say is try to get the links from Unique Content. I follow this factors to get any links :

                1. PR - min PR2
                2. DA - min 30 DA
                3. OBL - Less than 10 - 15
                4. IF sites have more no. of dofollow blogroll links, footer links, link exchange page, etc then i will not consider that.
                5. Backlink Profile - Is the backlink profile are good or not, because nowadays most of SEO's are purchasing old domain with good PR so we need to check whether backlink profile are relevant or not..
                6. Social Media Profile (not mandatory)
                7. Unique C Class IP
                8. One link from one website.. If the website are highly authoritative then more links from same website is good.

                Hope this will helps...

                  Hmm....Sanket, could you please explain me why point 6 is not mandatory? I would put a lot of weight exactly on that one!

                  best,

                  Jungles

                    Yes Jungles its a very important part & i consider that very much...  But if some sites don't have much social media and have other things good then we can get a link from there & that would also be the worthy...
