Do not overly concern yourself with whether the site in question passes page rank however it is important to steer well clear of what are known as "bad neighbourhoods", these would include porn type sites etc.
So how do you obtain a link on all these websites? Well the simple answer is "in any that you can, apart from buying the links". Paid links is very much "last year" and you are risking receiving a Google penalty if you continue to purchase backward links in 2009 and beyond - it is not worth the risk!
The main ways of attracting backward links these days is via article marketing, blog posting, and social media and by writing testimonials for websites that are happy to include a link back to your website. Plus do not forget the power of quality content on your own website as this itself will generate backward links over the course of time.
