: PageRank is very different today than what it used to be. PageRank is NOT the primary driver for ranking or credibility in the eyes of search engines. Rather it's only part of the equation.

Honestly I highly doubt anyone can give you an accurate answer other than google.

But if you are inquiring whether it serves any purpose for you to acquire links from irrelevant pages then yes it can help. It all comes down to your entire profile of backlinks as opposed to individual. With that being said if your profile only consists of irrelevant links or mostly irrelevant links then that may not work in your favor.

Another important thing to keep in mind is that PageRank is overrated now a days. It's a very helpful tool indeed but it's not a primary driver. In my niche top 8 results out of 10 are from sites which vary from pagerank 2 to 4. 6 of them have PR of 2 or 3. 2 have PR 4. Top 3 do not have a PR 4. Again this is a VERY small set of example.

In my opinion every link is important and worthwhile. Just make sure you have an overall long-term strategy in mind and work on improving the entire profile rather than just obsessing over one type of link such as link exchanges or link buying.
