How does PR influence the site ranking

    Hello,

    I want to start this discussion and probably it`s the first topic on this subject, but here is the thing:

    Lately I feel like the PR of a website does not weight so much in SERP of a website, especial if that site`s content is really messed up.

    What % do you think PR is our of the 100% of optimization rate?

    Or maybe there are some formulas out there to measure the weight of PR on a website ?

    Thanks.

    KriSs.

    If your website has a good ranking in google then definitely you will have a good PR as well, they are probably link with because PR depends on how much BACKLINKS you have in your site but be sure to do it the right way and follow google's TOS of else get your site penalized and Google Ranking depends on your site content, numbers of indexed pages. This two are the basic steps if you want your site grow, most webmaster know this or I should say all.

    What i think is that if you have a high page rank website or pages its good because that means that you have what google wants,quality content and all those other stuff that have to do.I think that it makes diference because if google likes your content maybe you have benefits for the next post you create because google is already looking at your website.Having a high page rank its a very nice thing.In order to do that you need to create alot of things that google like.
    Thats all i can tell you buddy :p

    Yes but i really dont think that if you compete with a high pr link you are going to lose.I am not really sure about this,this is just my little theory.Maybe it has a high pr because its old and maybe your site can get a better pr if gets old.

    A high traffic and updated site can also easily get a PR.

    What you say is that you get PR for content?

    I knew that PR only comes with quality links targeting your site.

    You are quite right. I've seen sites of lower PR outraking high PR sites simply due to well optimized content that is rich in SEO. Backlinks do play a role in terms of pushing the rankings. I'd say PR would perhaps have a 30% influence on the site rankings (this based out of my personal research). I noticed lots of sites, the private blog networks ranking high for a keyphrase despite the crappy content. In my view its the site's PR that could make it possible.

    PR is Google's own acknowledgement of how important a site is, the higher the PR the greater the authority Google deems the site, and the higher in the search engine rankings the site will move

    Can't give the exact figure but it will be less than 10%. PR is just about the dofollow backlink and we know that backlink is one of the factor that affecting the SERP. However, PR is totally ignoring those nofollow link while nofollow link is still affecting the serp

    this is true? i didn't knew about the no-follow links !!! but.. are you sure? in google tos they say it`s prohibited to sell links. if it`s the case of advertising they recommend to use no-follow so the rankings of the advertised site is not changed by the advertiser...

    In modern times page rank is only 1 of many factors affecting the rank of a page. there are at least 200 different factors and more likely more like 1000 different factors. I have spoken with google search engineers and even they can not always tell you y 1 page rank higher then another. instead google engineers upton look at samples of many searches to decide if their recent changes are of benefit. 1 thing is clear, and that is that it will never be perfect. also larger companies with larger budgets will be able 2 more easily dominate the search results. google's relationship with the average webmaster is not the same as in the early days.

    No one can prove that nofollow link never helps in ranking, nofollow link just don't help in PR. Google just penalize the PR value of the website that selling link but still a question that they can't ensure you are selling link unless your site has "too many" OBL

    don't worry about PR, it's not everything. keep working on offpage and onpage factors.

    Dude don't mislead people, you do not need content to get a high PR, even a 1 page blog can get a high PR.

    I also wondered if the PR ranking of the site would affect the expected increase in visitors to our blog if it is true PR effect on the SERP.

    But what happens is when I lost my blog visitors increased from PR 0 to PR 2

    How to explain the workings of public relations itself to the popularity of our blog in search engines
