    How important is Google Pagerank [PR]
    Does your search ranking also depend on PR ? or is it just a rating form ?

    Just curious to know coz many ppl are crazy about PR

    PR is one of the factors that influence your SERP.
    It has to do with the number and quality of the sites your site has.

    Page rank is what makes Google a real search engine and puts Yahoo and MSN to shame.

    Interesting comments. My experience is that PR does not equal traffic and that is what it is all about.

    PR is only important to gimps like us lot on DP and other webmaster forums, everyday regular internet users couldn't give a sh*t and neither should we, but we do.

    It makes no difference to my visitor stats when my PR goes up or down, it only seems to increase or decrease the amount of junk mail I get regarding 3 way link exchanges.

    We are webmasters, not just Internet users.
    People don't know what FTP is, should I ignore that too? :D

    Some people think that PR do not matter. I have myself seen many PR0 sites outranking high PR pages.

    On the other hand, some people believe PR to be a factor in search results ranking

    I don't see any benefit of PR except advertisers that want sites with high PR to advertise on

    :)

    It all depends on keywords. Suppose if the keyword is 'best UK affiliate program' and if it is the keyword more people searching anyday on google and for that keyword, if your site has higher PR and appearing on page 1 or 2 of google search definitely it brings you traffic.
    Is what I believe and any experts in SEO can please put up your words.

    High PR only mean your website is important for google. However, it mean you do have many quality backlink.
    However, it is nothing related to traffic

    who said it's nothing related to traffic

    If you have high PR of 6 ,definitely you would have more traffic than a PR5 site in your niche..
