getting backlink from pr10 site | Jan 09 Rank high myth burst
This month SEO myth: Getting a backlink from a PR10 site.
Background:
There has been rumours that someone can help you get a PR10 link at DP forum. First of all, whenever you see such a outrageous claim. Google it.
Within a minute, I found few people claim they can do the same.
The trick is simple. By utilising the Adobe site.
In Jim Matheson’s post on March 08, he suggested few approaches to get past Adobe by doing the following:
…if your company has done some development using Adobe products, here are a few examples of how you can get involved and subsequently rewarded….
1. Apply for the 2008 Adobe Max awards. Their 2007 site has a PR8 and both winners and honorable mentions get a PR7 backlink. In fact you get more link love if you are an honorable mention then you do for winning, so it pays to have a good but not great submission.
2. Take part in Flex Camp!
Hang around and get interviewed for quotes and you can get a backlink from a page like this one.3. Get involved with the Flex dev community. Submit content, and you get an “About the author” plug at the bottom of your entry – write a very long entry and they break it into multiple parts – more links for you.
4. Another option is to write some content for the Edge newsletter!
See, just because a full flash web site makes you cringe does not mean you should stay away from using Adobe products for development. I’ve seen a new site come out of absolutely nowhere to a PR7 with just a few Adobe.com back links.

In another post from bayaw.com on Aug 08, it lists down the actual steps to get there by going through the Adobe forum/ communities.
1. Go to http://www.adobe.com then click “Communities”
2. New page will show, Click the “Forum” link, on the new page click the topic you want to join, I prefer Acrobat because I regularly used the said adobe product so for sure I can relate on it.
3. Click the “register” anchor link. You need to register to the site forum to gain back link and post some thread from it.
4. Once you’re done registering and you’re in the forum area where you can modify your profile information, click the “Preferences” link then click “Personal Information”. This is the place where you can add back link to your site. There are two field where you can add your link first is in the Your homepage field and second is the Your Favorite URLs field. Used this two fields wisely because they can provide you good do follow back link.
5. Now you have a back link from a pr10 site, all you have to do is explore the forum and post some question or answer some thread to provide a way bot find your account where your back link is located.

However, when I ran a check on this site, there is no trace of backlink from Adobe site among its 95 backlinks.
So, the best way to find out is to test it myself. Since I do no own a company that use Adobe products, I decided to use bayaw.com approach, getting a link from the Adobe Forum.
Reproducing the Steps
Step 1: Log on to Adobe forum
Here is the link: http://www.adobe.com/support/forums/index.html
Read the posting guide first (if you have time), select one of the products to join their community. In my case, I choose Acrobat. Look at the Pagerank indicator, it shows a PR9.
Step 2: Sign up.
Step 3: Still in registration process.
Step 4: Click "Set up your preference" to set up your "Personal Information".
Step 5: Most important step, set up your site URL.
Step 6: Once updated. Go to the Adobe Product Forums.
Step 7: Start contributing to forum. I picked up a question and try to answer.
Conclusion:
After posting a reply on the Adobe forum, I found my "Rank High on Google" username is a bit spammy (should use a real name, if you are going to try it out later) and it is given a Adobe URL instead of my website URL. This page is PR 0.
This Adobe URL will lead to a new page (PR 0) where my homepage URL is shown. Even though, this page is a dofollow site but there is no PR juice found throughout the process.
So, can you get PR juice from this method?
No. I doubt this technique is effective in getting a PR10 backlink. Unless I have done something wrongly and you can always leave a comment to point it out.
Can you get a backlink from Adobe (authority) site?
I will need to wait for a week or two to check on this again, so please bookmark this page or subscribe through my feed for the update.

I did not claim that you could get a PR10 link by posting on the Adobe forums. I actually said noting about getting a direct link from the home page of Adobe (which is now a PR9, not 10). I was just showing some ways you could get some fairly high PR links from Adobe (none of which was a direct forum link like in your sample). All of the ideas I posted about last year requires a lot of work to make happen, certainly not a magic pill
Also, keep in mind that the toolbar PR rarely gets updated, so even if that page you were looking at did have some PR you would not see it in your FF plugin for months.
This is a really good site, I’ve been wondering about that post in DP so thanks for doing some research.
I’ll be putting this site in my favourites
p.s. and i used that G lock forum finder software, I tried it for yesterday but now i think my domain has been banned from wordpress etc
also i couldn’t post here as well!
Aww i was hoping for a breakthrough at the end of the post
Robin, thanks for your compliment. Meanwhile, please send me an email to howtorankhigh @ gmail.com about your software problem, I will take a look at it.
Admin: Technorino, that is the same as when a magician exposed his trick. There is nothing mysterious about this “secret”. I personally think this “backlink from Adobe forum “method will not work. Just wait and see if there is any backlink coming back for the next couple of weeks.
I followed the bayaw.com blog and I feel like an idiot following the advise since I did not investigate futher. I followed it step by step but I realized afterwards that this is a total B.S. How can adobe pass PR juice to my blog since I can’t view my info page in adobe forum if I’m not logged in? how can seach engine bot cache those pages? also, I saw the metatag so no search engine can cache it and rank it.
the robot metatag is noindex and nofollow
Lito,
Thanks for letting me know about this. I felt (and confirmed) from my test this method will not work. However, there are some member at DP forum claimed they have a great success with it. You can read the discussion here: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1176138
Next time in doubt, read my post first as I will do the “dirty works” for my readers so you all don’t waste your time on the SEO myth..
I wanna get a try to see the truth. Hope it works.
I don’t know they can do it!
Thanks very good infos

Thanks for sharing and also Lito for the noindex, nofollow info. Just thought of spending a day to BL those forums. Lucky i did research.
I am careful of anyone making garantees. Good idea about the forum. You can subscribe to alot of sw sites.
Great info, thanks for the tips.
It is pretty obvious that adobe wont be distributing a pr 10 dofollow link. If such was the case, it would’ve lost its pr status long ago. Adobe.com is a quality site. The only way to get a pr 10 link in my opinion is to make your own site…take it to pr 10 somehow and then link it back to whatever you want. I dont think even buying a pr 10 link is an option. The prices are exorbitant.
It wont give you anithing tried tested and no use.
hmm I’m not sure it’s work, but I will try. It’s enough reasonable to get 10 PR. Thanks
Till today, I did not see a link back from Adobe after this experiment, but is Google took this into a consideration? It remains as a big question mark.
Thanks, Vital. Few years back, there was a sale of w3c backlink of PR9, i think the sales is still on, cost about $3K(if I recall correctly), can you imagine that?
too bad i only found your webiste after I tried this.
I read about the tactic sometime last year and reactivated a years old adobe account. I couldn’t even find the place to put my URL into in my profile. Somehow the site layout seems to be changed.
its quite hard but i did it, now lets see how much traffic divert into my web
hi, thank you for tip

No problem, Kelinci!
@jason: I hope I can have a body like your! ; ) Feel free to drop by my blog.
Do these profile links actually work for increasing PR? There must be something to it with all of these backlink packets you can buy.
@affcash: Yes, it does.
