Page rank 5…. I never knew :-). Anyway I think its a good website, with some great articles on a number of issues. I think people go over board with pagerank and I never have a clue how google get to rank a website, I wish I did. Some websites get a good page rank after only getting around 500 back links others have to work damn hard at getting any. Is it all to do with the subject or category the website is in? Who Knows!!!

I found my way here while doing SEO research, but dropping a comment was definitely on the to do list after reading the article. I do very much like that you don’t care about PR, I was posting in the digital point forums recently about how I thought it wasn’t the actual page rank that was worth the value, but the traffic the rumor drives, just as you’ve stated. I’m rather sure this is the truth, or at least a good portion of it. Google may give some more power to links from a high PR site, but only a little. I’m highly convinced it’s from the myth and the sheer traffic a high PR site gets/gives based on that following. Nice article, glad to see someone is on the same page as me in thoughts pertaining to PR.

Barry,

Okay, so this line is absolutley priceless …

“Please answer by leaving a comment, and in the process you’ll give yourself a PageRank 5 backlink – which is why you came here in the first place, wasn’t it?”

Yes, please. Thank you very much. ;) Speaking of PR, any ideas on when they will update it next? I know you don’t care, but it seems like it is overdue.

Hi Barry, I agree with you. The PR is nice for people selling or renting links as a justification for a high price. Since I do no things like that, there is no need to check for PR, even since I never detected any correlation between PR and SERPS position.

Ok, I’ll be the first one to admit – I came here for a link ;) Still obsessed about PR though.

I think Google Page Rank is important and you would probably think so also if you lost it all. I have a few sites at PR 4 and know how hard that is to get there. There is no doubt that it can also make you money..but seriously when people ask for a link they have also checked your traffic out also…There are PR 5 sites out there with no traffic at all…They don’t really show up in the search engines to get traffic. They only have the PR because they have got the right links…People do not want to get a link on those sites…
If you did loose PR and still had loads of traffic you would probably be ok still…But if Google drops your site from the search engines…oh no…thats not good…

I completely agree as when I first started my forum I did NOT post as much as I should have and once I started posting like a robot that did NOT sleep, natural links started to arise and traffic started to grow. Really its no secret just a lot of hard work.
