    the above statement is that true ?
    i find it a bit funny, he claim him self is SEO pro and when we check his site have no PR with low traffic, he come out above statement and also he is saying that PR have no related with SEO at all ....
    so above statement is true or false? how PR work is the same as Alexa ?:D:D

    I don't really understand what your saying. seo will help with "popularity" and traffic but its not the same thing.

    How confusing. Popularity can help SEO but SEO doesn't necessarily help popularity. You can have a site with great SEO that gets 50k a day, and if people don't like your site, it won't be popular. You'll have a bunch of people showing up and bouncing away, and both Alexa and Google measure bounce rate as a factor in your rankings.

    There are some exceptions: Myspace = SEO not so good, popularity obviously great.

    Doing SEO to be on first page - is ok

    but not to get the 1st rank is a bit odd (isn't that everyone is competing for the top spot and this guy doesn't want to target that position..)


    Questionable and confusing...

    Alexa purely goes of how much traffic you're getting. Google pr goes off how many quality links you have going to your site. The rankings of sites in search engines are effected a little by how much traffic a site gets. I think that answers your question.
