While pagerank is directly proportionate to the amount of backlinks you have, what matters is the quality of the backlink itself.
According to Google, links coming from sites with a higher pagerank would be considered a more quality link compared to links coming from a site with a lower pagerank. (Though, it's possible that the link coming from a higher ranked site may not be of a higher value compared to a link from a lower ranked site, given that a higher ranked site has so any links in it that it lowers the value of a particular link.) |
