    Like i said, What the heck is PR? What does it do?

    Does it increase your page ranks to display in the search engines first?

    PR = Google Page Rank.

    The higher your page rank relative to other pages, the higher your page would show up on the SERPs.

    This question has been done to death - you could've at least Google'd it first! Or searched these forums. :D

    Higher Page Rank doesn't mean that you can have better rankings in Search Engine. Rankings would depends on your optimization.

    You better read this:
    http://www.googlepageranks.net/pagerank/
    Or what the guys says is:
    Introduction

    Google runs on a unique combination of advanced hardware and software. The speed you experience can be attributed in part to the efficiency of our search algorithm and partly to the thousands of low cost PC’s Google networked together to create a superfast search engine.
    PageRank Explained
    PageRank relies on the uniquely democratic nature of the web by using its vast link structure as an indicator of an individual page’s value. In essence, Google interprets a link from page A to page B as a vote, by page A, for page B............
    You can check page rank from here: www.googlepageranks.net/
    With 2 words: The google page rank is very important for getting your website in the top of the google results.(depending on some keywords). It's an algorythm... that returns an integer.. The higher page rank your web page have is the better.
    For example: http://www.googlepageranks.net/pagerank/check_page_rank.cgi?url=google.com
    The results is: google has 10 of 10 ;)

    pagerank can make someone very rich by selling links, if they have a high PR.

    Yeah, but google doesn't even rank itself number one for the terms:
    search
    search engine
    search the web
    web search
    internet search engine
    website search
    etc.
    etc.

    Other search engines with lower PR rank higher for these terms. So no offense, but, I gotta assume nobody here really knows the actual answer to the famous PR question.

    Especially considering you got 50% saying it doesn't help SERP's and 50% saying it does. It's there for some reason, however, so I also gotta assume that it does help. Although it seems to be a miniscule amount. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'll admit, I don't know.

    Not another thread :eek:

    PR is Page Rank that measures your websites popularity taking into considerations the link network associated with your website

    No. It depends on the Latent Semantic Indexing algorithm Google is using. If your site contains related words to the keywords you want to optimize, then your site can have a chance to outrank the one with higher PR. PR just affects the number of times the Google spider crawls your site and the amount of advertising fee you can charge your advertisers.

    For SERPs, PR is not a factor in raising your site's SE rankings. Just use it for selling links, or link exchanges. :)

    I think PR is just a tools to show the quality of the site's content. they use it as a vote to that site. so if you got good content , more people will link back to you. But people believe and use in in the commercial way. so that's what it is now. ^^
