Tips In Choosing which Directories to Submit to - Page 2 - Webmaster Forums - Webmaster forum for HTML, PHP, ASP, CSS and more

I'm pretty new to SEO, and my question may sound stupid to most of you, but I'm going to ask it anyway.
Let's say the directory that I'm going to submit my link to has a PR 6. But by the time I go through the sub-directories and find the sub-directory that I need to submit my link to, the PR goes down to a PR 1 or even a PR 0.
Now my question is, Does that PR 6 on the Directories home page still play a roll?
OR is the PR 6 useless to me, since the sub-category that I have picked has a PR 1 or PR 0?

Thanks in advance.

If you are going to have a link on the home page that has a PR6 - then it does have SEO value (if it is a dofollow). Think of it this way, the homepage PR is a good indication that the directory is well maintained. It has greater possibilities to have its inner pages build PR overtime. It may have a low PR now, but surely it would augment its PR overtime.

SO as I always say, directory inclusions are very good investment for the long term
