Link Question

I was always under the understanding that if the index page of a site had a high PR (like a PR4) and the link you get from the site is on a secondary page that has a PR0 or PR1 that it's still a quality link. But some have told me that's not true and that it has to do with the actual page you're linking from. Which one is the right answer?

    The web is page-based, for these purposes. The page-rank of the page on which your link appears matters. I wish all my backlinks from Ezine Articles were worth something just because Ezine Articles' own home page has such a high PR. But unfortunately not. (There are some people selling backlinks who claim that something they call "domain authority" is also significant, but on that point - and so many others - they seem, strangely, to disgree with the authors of all the established, acclaimed SEO textbooks, and with the experience of people who have tested it out, too. "Go figure"!).

    Whether something is a "quality link" is also determined partly by context-relevance.
