Interesting question. personally I would not sell links nor buy them but i might help a smaller blog or person out by letting them guest post or by writing a review for them if I feel they are doing some good.

If it is same price and you have a money choose ten PR5 links.”Quality over quantity” PR5 helps you because it is hard to find PR5 to your site but I suggest not to rely on PR the more important now is to gain more backlinks.The good way is to get a lot of quality links

Well I wouldn’t buy links, since I like to remain on the good side of Google… but if a friend asked me that question… I would advise that friend to get PR 5 websites links, while they are less in quantity…. the quality is way higher =D

Till then,

If you want Google rankings, the higher PR links are more effective. If you want rankings on other search engines, a higher volume of links usually helps more. Personally I would buy the higher PR links as they are not as easy to come by.

I would go with 10 PR5 links as they would build PR & trust. These are the tougher links to get. If you want volume, that is easy enough to achieve by submitting some articles or doing other free link building strategies.

@Does PR even matter now?

It does. But I agree with CristianR @from my experience volume overcomes quality at a point

BTW, http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/seo-for-bloggers/ – slide 14, “We crawl roughly in decreasing order of PageRank”

@cyprus classifieds. Quality over Quantity for WH and vise versa for BH. BH->WH.

Yes, PR doesn’t meter, but it meters in link building anyways. PR is like an indicator of link juice power.
what do I mean? I mean if high PR website has 20 links on your website and that website has 100 external links, therefor you get 20×100 link juice volume. PR can show us how high that value can be.

CristianR thanks for the suggestion. I had doubts about volume and quality, now they gone

If you’re aiming for a higher PR, def. the PR5 ones and besides, the lesser links the more natural it will look

How about a combination of the above ? 1 PR5 links, 10 PR3, 15 PR1 and if there’s enough money left get some PR0 ones. Just a suggestion – you either go with a few high quality links or with a lot of low quality – from my experience volume overcomes quality at a point.
