Google now validates low PR links as well. It is even a good idea to have a few links from low PR pages as well as high PR pages.
Look at it like this:
Why would a site have 10 PR5 links coming in and not even have a few from some smaller sites?

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Mike

Yeh exactly. We need high PR (or at least they help) but having a couple garbage links will make it look "legit". Goggle hates link exchange, they want real links from real people for all the right reasons.

I don't think anyone knows anything just yet guys. It has been a few days and I am still convinced/hoping that someone got too drunk at the IPO party and sat on the wrong keyboard.

Honestly, I'm not sure how much this changes anything. G has always counted <PR4 links it's just that they chose not to clutter up the results of a backlink check with the lower PR links. Now they are displaying more of them (NOT ALL OF THEM) than they did before. The only concrete information out there right now is that they are displaying more links than before, the reasons for that still elude us. Personally, I like the IPO party story above this post...

Didn't Someone here say the PR fairy was coming soon? I left my tooth under my pillow but when I woke up there wasn't any more PR then there was before?

Like everyone I guess, have been anxiously waiting for our second update. However at 3 a.m. I ediscoverd a real boob in 6 different sites involving 90 pages. It is now 10 hours later and I have just finished.
Am praying for another BOT urgently.
