      If a site has a Google toolbar PR of 2 and a Mozrank of 5, does that most likely mean that the site is penalized and a link would probably provide little value.

      I know that Google rarely updates toolbar PR so I suppose the site could have also earned a lot of quality links since the last update.

      Thanks Mozzers!

        You understand this.  It is an important consideration.

        I suppose the site could have also earned a lot of quality links since the last update.

        If you thought that one email message would get you a PR0 link on loc.gov you would not want to pass it up - even if that page had zero outside links?
