I'm sure it is a late night and jaded outlook, but everything after the 8th word started turning me off. I think if you reword your request, or make it less of an open audition to apply for a chance to be evaluated for approval to trade links it may get a better response.

But then again, you may not. Your links page has a PR0!

Who cares if one of the other pages on your site has a PR5 if you don't put them there.

But then again, because you have the links page set up so that no one listed on it will ever be indexed by a search engine, PR does not really matter anyway.

Since you don't lose any PR, why do you even care about who links to you. If you get high PR, it helps, if it is low, it still helps. Either way, the only ones who can/do get screwed are the ones who link to you.

Sorry if I am just looking at it wrong. Either way, you may find the following interesting.

P.S. There is also one on popups somewhere.

I'm sorry that I have not read the rules first. Anyway, I'm new to this SEO and from lots of the meterials that I have read, some are misleading. Thanks for correcting me. Now I already understand it.

Still I'm seeking global partners to link with.

Robert, sorry that I did not mention it earlier. Our site had been doing SEO these few weeks. The new site just up since this early june, waiting for the crawlers to crawl. PR will be updated soon. The banner exchange page is linked from the index page which has a PR of 5. So it should have PR at the second level page in the next update. Just that this is a business portal and we want more sites to link with us without waiting for the PR to update. Just that simple.

My carelessness had made you misunderstood me. We did not intent to "screw" anyone and become the selfish party.

To clearly convince you, you can notice all of the second level page onwards don't have any PRs. This means that the site is totally new, waiting for the spider to visit. The new site is build under the same domain name. That's why it looks so weird on the second level pages (no PR).
Just to proove I'm not fooling anyone here.
Sorry for any misunderstanding

Hi Cheeshong,

Wow, sorry to make you type so much.

I am glad to hear that you are trying to benefit the people linking to your site as well.

You are right, you should get PR to the other pages in the next update or two. You may also consider that each of the sites (below PR4) that link to you are most likely also getting more links from other sites with the goal of being a much higher PR in the future.

Think of how easy it is to get them now on the way up, and opposed to trying to ask them when they have a high PR.

It is true that some will never get high PR, but I have also linked to more than a few sites that were PR0 when they asked, but within 2 updates had climbed to PR6 or more. I suspect it would be a bit more dificult to get them to link to me now.

I also assume that all the new links on your link page will actually be click able links and not just text?

I am glad to hear that this seems to be a misunderstanding, and wish you the best with your site.
