Relation between PR and Traffic

I wanted to know is there any relation between PR and Traffic.

Have you seen sites with PR>=5 with as low as 200 UV/mo.

and

Sites PR<2 with around 5000 UV/mo?


If your answer is yes! then whats the use to build a PR?

 

Thats what I always wonder, "Why does everyone care so much about Pagerank". Traffic & Pagerank have almost nothing to do with each other, generally speaking a very high pagerank site will recieve a lot of traffic, this is due to the massive amount of inbound links from other sites. Generally, a low PR site can out rank a high PR site in SERPs, so again I wonder.... whats this thing with that funny green bar

 

i don;t see it other than just a number that has any other impact than psychological. little green line on your toolbar that is nice to look at. you said so yourself, low PR site gets more traffic than high PR. i have seen the same myself as well.

 

hello all,

traffic and PR is totally different entity , not a same

 

maybe i think the rank is aboutrelation with link popularity.mmm...it's hard to say.

 

Theres no relation they are divorce

PR is just a number nothing more

PR not equals traffic
PR npot equals higher traffic
Higher Rinkings can mean high pr but is not a must (i say this becouse i rank over with a PR 3 site sites with pr5 and eve pr6)

Olso PR olso depends by backlings

 

Yes, there is no relation between PR and traffic

 

There is no relation between Page Rank and Traffic.

The Page Rank algorithm is more of a "public relations" kinda tool for Google.
PR MAY show you a gross representation of your site's link juice and your sites linkability but it may not neccesarily mean anything more than that.

 

I don't think there is any connection between PR and Traffic. They are totally different. However, I think PR is one of the factor which effects ranking, but still there is no end of confusions.

 

IMO both are important in their own way, and as a whole content influence both .

 

No Relation.

 

The page rank system is not related to the traffic. However, both the PR and the traffic are important for online business.

 

Content help to generate natural links and that help for both.

 

Well I am ready to get the guns out. PR does bring traffic, nobody can deny that. It all depends really how many competitors you have for your keywords. For example, if you've only got 1,000,000 and you come up first, which for that little amount of competitors you could easily do with very little backlinks, that topic could become hot stuff, giving you a lot of traffic. That doesn't necessarily mean they have a direct link. PR brings higher SERP results, which in turn brings higher traffic. Remember, though. I could start a site today, there could be a PR update tomorrow, I'd have PR unassigned/PR0. Then I could market the site like crazy, and get massive amounts of traffic - and my PR (visible to you guys) would still be PR0. In that sense, PR means nothing. Just like they say, 'age is just a stupid number', like PageRank.

 

Im sorry to disturb your "explanation" - But believe it or not PR is bullshit!

There is no relation between PR and SERP whatsoever.

PR is just more of a "number" than anything else - it MAY grossly represent the quality of your links and holds no other relevance.

But yes, your explanation may add some value if you are building a website to solely sell links - or else, im afraid your explanation has no standpoint and is totally flawed.

 

Okay, please can you explain this for me. I built a site roughly 3 weeks ago. It's not a site in my signature, and had ZERO backlinks. I found a site, PR7. I got ONE backlink from that PR7 page (yes, 1 single page, not site wide) and hey presto, the anchor text used puts my site top of the Google SERP, with an average of 1,581,000 results, and backlink count still stands at 1. Now tell me PR is irrelevant to SERPs.

 

High Pr (<5) means high google trust but if actual content is not unique
or duplicate then all pr benefit goes in to dustbin.

 

Spider man you are exactly right

I got one reciprocal link from a PR5 directory and went to page 1 within 2 days
and my traffic went from 20 a day to 100 a day
then learnt SEO and now its 300 a day ( not bad for just a zippo lighter site )

 

Its called "link juice" and not - PR - interlinking and external linking is a major SEO factor imho.

If you built that site it wouldnt have a PR - We are talking about a site having a good PR doing well in SERP's not a link from a high PR site helping you rank better.

 

Still, it proves my point. Getting high PR backlinks (which in turn raises your PR) which then in turn brings you traffic. Part of the vicious cycle of SEO
