    At least for me PR is not important. I can generate enough traffic with low PR.

    You mean Matt Cutts and where exactly did you hear/read this? PR has nothing to do with traffic and having a PR5+ website doesn't assure high rankings.

    I'd love to see where Matt Cutts made that statement..

    i doubt thats what matt said. PR is not directly related to traffic and i have seen plenty of sites ranking top that didn't have any PR or had very low PR

    I haven't heard Matt say that either. Probably just another victim of the PR Traffic myth.

    You must be talking about Matt Cutz and NOT Matt Cutts, head of Google's Quality Team.

    Matt Cutts from Google would NEVER say anything like that... in fact he preaches the exact opposite. PR has VERY little to do with rankings now days. It is only one of 200+ ranking factors that Google considers when ranking a URL for a particular keyword and has VERY little influence in your overall ranking...

    Perhaps this "Matt Cutz" you speak of is simply trying to sell you overpriced links on some high PR page... because that is about the ONLY thing PR is good for now days... Sites who want to overcharge for paid links simply because the links are from high PR pages... when the PR of the page the link is on has very little influence on your ranking. The relevancy of the page the link is on to the page being linked to and the link text used in the link are FAR more important than the PR of the page where the link is placed.

    I believe OP is talking about page ranking (SERP) not PR (PageRank). Yes if you have a better SERP position good sites have min 50% traffic natural from search engine.

    predominantly Ive tried that... yeah blogs, google blogs, meta, design, social, articles, if anyone here where to pick one ou of those I mentioned what one would be more likend to build PR faster... also in an effort Mat did say this ... I saw the video on webPro News.......

    let be professionals about his words what does it take to build high pr ... my good frien has 8 site each one has no less than pr 4 - 6 being the highest .... and his content sucks ... what the hell is going in that ball park....

    Dan Schulz I know word rpess is a monster for pr hording... because of its ability to get the message out quick...... do prefer WP as a way to help write article per site then press it on a post then get the pr into the blog therfore giving the site written in an article some pr juice....

    Pagerank and traffic has nothing to do with each other, I see many sites which have high traffic but low pagerank.

    That's crazy because even a rookie knows that PR comes WITH quality traffic , not the other way around.

    I somewhat agree here ... as the pros mentioned the higher the pr the better.... although it still should be better with more pr..... what about black hatters in russia 0 pr but 10,000 hits a day ..... tell that to mat cuttz

    the value of keyword density and the content juice is so important I know.... but PR is a mind blower....... imagine those...... I had the pleasure of speaking to a top seo company from one of the very best sources.... he insisted that even a pr 4 wasn't high enough to get your site traffic... that led me to believe if I had a pr 6 or higher I could do some serious serp intimidation...... he the seo" reassured me that pr is very important..... so the hard part for many is the measure of getting back links into a site....... now back links ... okay the seo said the higher the pr the better your back links... but as a site owner only you would know that......

    getting high pr is the key in so many different ways..... I do not care how many of those say pr is nada these days ........

    another lesson learned here you can truly dominate Google with out low pr.. thats easy... but Google is smarter than that if your getting traffic it is not coming from Google,: it would be from foreign or site wide engines...

    Matt says PR is Google assurance: the site listed on their engine is representable by the Gbot meaning the site with HIGHER PR the more Google shows your links.. and sites... again proof Google ddoest this is adwords and adsense the more you pay the more they exposes your links... but on the seo or PR side... PR is your only way to compete with adwords and those paying Google for more exposure....the biggest ads online even Mike Dillard the creator of PPC domination recalls adwords as the Internets most feared competitor ...... so how does thgat reflect upon PR?? in the same manner the higher the better 6 and 7 ranks get traffic... . ....in a nut shell Im totally with that .... so for the non believer on the MC theory watch his videos not just read info... listen to vital instructions well....

    did I answer my own question from the main thread? not really .. if I hadn't gotten blasted .... sincerely

    Well, high PR backlinks usually come from high traffic websites, however I saw PR 3-4 websites with 15 uniques / day. Anyway, the point is the engines will always do changes in they're algorithms and one thing that goes now it can get dropped in a few months (that is why you need to keep yourself up to date).

    A really good advice gave Aaron Wall in his Seo Book regarding other seo guys advices , and that is keep yourself informed and when it comes to strategies "think for yourself".

    As per my knowledge,

    PR doesn't drive traffic, but the robots crawling frequency increases. So, your new updates fast know by google and displays in search results.

    Keywords position drive traffic. If you have good and quality content with new updates automatically u will get a good presence in front of all search engines and get traffic.

    If you get good traffic, you can get a PR even doesn't have PR.

    I think, very soon google is going to change its algorithm depends on the Traffic, fresh content and Bounce rate.

    By following the above factors, any search engine can give good results. I think, this change will be made by Google in a few days.

    And also, the PR algo will change.
