Question on Backlinks
I recently posted an article on My Faking News which is a website which allows users to generate content.
They will also allow users to have their blog links in the User Signature or his Bio which is displayed at the end of the post.
Now my question is, is it considered a backlink?
Hi
i have heard that backlinking can get your blog deleted but i have 2 wordpress free blogs and have mentioned about each blog on the other and vice versa can you please tell me as to when does it really harm, what kind of backlinking is not good for my free wordpress blog, i am technically an illeterate so please tell me in layman's terms
Ya. Even after getting 3 juice passing links in the last month, I dont have a PR yet
3 is nothing 
By the way, you have more than 3. Every time you post something on IndiVine, your backlinks count increases by 3-4. 
How many it will take to get a PR?
It depends. 
If the backlinks ( do follow ) are from high PR pages ( Note : the PR of the page from which you have the backlink matters and not the PR of the site ), then less links will also be sufficient.
Ex: If a page has PR 5 and there are 20 links on that page ( one of the link being yours ) then PR of your page will increase by 5/20 = 0.25 ( Approximate calculations. Only Google knows the actual procedure to calculate pr )
Ranjith 
Is page rank different for different pages in a website? For eg: If I have an article posted on Hindu with a link to my blog, then my blog's PR will be calculated WRT Hindu's PR or the new PR of my article on Hindu?
Yes, each page on your blog has a different website. When people say PR of a website it is the PR of the home page.
For eg: If I have an article posted on Hindu with a link to my blog, then my blog's PR will be calculated WRT Hindu's PR or the new PR of my article on Hindu?
If you have a link to www.myblog.com/aaa.html on www.thehindu.com/bbb.html, then pr of .../aaa will depend on PR of ../bbb
Then what's the point?
Or is it just that since by article was posted on a page having a higher PR, would allow my article to be read by more which increases the PR of the site and thereby increases my blog's PR?
Is this a correct understanding?
The PR you check online is different from the PR on google servers. The toolbar PR is updated once every few months but the PR on Google's servers is continuously updated.
So, even though /bbb shows PR 0 , the actual PR on google's servers may be different. Or it may be something between 0 and 1 and so the PR you see may be rounded to zero.
would allow my article to be read by more which increases the PR of the site and thereby increases my blog's PR?
PR is not dependent on readers count.
The thing is that even though the pr you see for /aaa is 0, it might be between 0 and 1. And /aaa has a link to your home page, so PR of your home page will also increase. The PR juice keeps flowing this way.
SERPs depend on many factors, PR is just one of over 300 ranking factors. The hindu is a reputable site, so a link from the hindu will have more effect on serps than a link from , say, my blog even though both of them may have the same effect on /aaa.
My view is that the backlinks dont really matter in the GPR now. I have backlinks from PR8 and above sites but it doesnt seemed to have pepped up my own GPR. The whole juice passing stuff seems to be a non thing right now.
Ranjith I have back links from Android headlines, Android Police, Techcrunch etc. a lot of them actually
But I don't think any of those pages are PR8 ( I'm not talking about the blog's PR )
android police?
My suggestion would be to focus on generating links naturally, by writing useful, interesting or unique content. All these user-generated links will come under google algorithm scanner at one point or another. Why waste time?
Sounds Interesting!
thanks

It is like WordPress posting. You need to create an ID and add a post. Fill in your profile giving the link of your blog
link de do...
really...
wow... NSV awesome.
There is nothing awesome in it frankly. Anyone can post on the site. They are not moderating it or judging it or anything 
NSV Tell me your article's name there ? Let me see your hand in satire.
NSV FN has a PR of 5 so you will benefit from the backlink in next PR update
It is not FN. It is FN 2.0 which is My Faking News. I dont know the PR of either of them anyway
MFN has 4/10 NSV
its Ranjitpedia language unknown to all expect to the people living on Krypton
Why would your answers always have to be so technical 
NSV I gave a non technical answer at the end
Practically, almost all links are back links. B-)
NSV he always does that for chocolates 
Why is no one asking me to explain what I said?
No one wants to give me chocolates? 
You ask for chikki instead
I think everyone is content with your Non-Tech Answer
u want silk? 
what kind of request/desire/fetish is that?
I didnt know such a product existed. I'm sorry
Ranjith you always say SILK which can be interpreted into different silks kindly specify your requirements in future
Yes...at least for the ill-informed souls like me
haha. Ranjith I really like how you explain technical things so seriously and then add your personal touch in the end.
Yup Faking news is an interesting site.Being a product from Channel 18,it's a good website
