Google PR7 Blogs in Malaysia
We know it is very difficult to get high Google PageRank. But, two Malaysians got PR7 for their blogs! They are Zeo(WordPress expert) and Ades(Internet Entrepreneur).
Congrats! In fact, they are the very few websites in Malaysia with PageRank 7. Another Malaysian PR7 website is TheStar Online, the online version of The Star local newspaper. (Let me know if you found the 4th PR7 site in Malaysia)
What is the benefit of PR7?
Although both Zeo and Ades are high PageRank sites but they are not high traffic website.
But, high PR gives them a better rank in Google search result of their keyword. Zeo ranked #1 among 1,570,000 results. Ades ranked #6 among 2,990,000 results (#1 is one of the Ades’ project). Of course, they might not target for these keywords.
Currently, Ades has 14 paid links and Zeo has 26 paid links. Each PR7 paid link is over $100 USD per month in the market. Now, you know how much they got for doing nothing. :)
How to get PR7 incoming links
If you have text link budget, Zeo and Ades are offering paid text links on their blogs. Ades will place your link for $150 USD per month. Zeo is asking for MacBook donation for $5 USD and will permanently place your link on a PR6 page. You may contact Zeo for a site-wide PR7 link.
My two cents
One of the reasons people chasing for high PageRank is to be able to sell text link and ads at a higher price. It is not easy to get high PR, the webmasters deserve the higher revenue. However, please do not over do it.
I was blinded by the revenue getting from high PR link selling, I accepted any sites as long as they paid me well. But later Google punished me with by dropping my search ranking and pagerank.
Although the rankings has been recovered and getting better, I learned the lesson and became careful when selling text links.
One suggestion, do not sell text links to websites that are unrelated to your site content.
Good luck in your PageRank and links selling journey!
Update: MalaysiaKini.com is also a PR7 site (alternative local news). [thanks, Steve Yu]
