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]
Thanks for the mention Liew, appreciate it.
today is not about search ranking but the money. high pr == more money.
I’ve written a guide about PR here if anybody interested.

malaysiakini.com is PR7. Is this counted?
@Steve Yu: thanks, MalaysiaKini.com is another PR7 site in Malaysia.
For me, I see no point on having a high traffic blog especially if it’s generally a personal blog. I can avoid having moved to dedi / VP server and live happily ever after in a shared hosting.
Don’t oversell sponsored links unless you have backup site with the same PR mmmkay?
How did Ades do it? Technoratiwise, it’s not thing big, traffic low as you said… where is the PR coming from?
yeah, did he hacked the Google PR to display a fake PR like all those tutorial found online and charge the advertiser for a PR7 site? I smell a rat! his blog has 100+ feed reader only, with a handful of links and traffic. where does the PR7 comes from?
i realy dono who is Zeo, until today we chat at MSN, just for some paypal transaction, then only i know this person so “geng”, then now only see this post… the world are too small, is this call fate?

@ReadyCompanies: the PR list will be the blogs to ask for links? :)

I never heard of Zeo or Ades also. But looks like their PR and traffic is good. Lcf, you never share with us how they achieve high PR lar???
@Neo: their websites receive high authority incoming links.
I just did a Google Search on the importance of page rank and this site came up. Thanks I think you finally answered my question which was…
If we are getting search engine results with many relevant keyword phrases resulting in traffic and our page rank is say at ‘zero’ (ermm) why should page rank matter. I guess I am a little twisted about this as I have worked like crazy to get any page rank. In the end it just started to become an ego thing. I think people are going to come to my site and say if you are so good at what you do why are you a zero? Finally I just decided, I don’t care anymore.
Thanks I think WordPress Good script and get high PR From Google if have good articles :) same this .
