PR does affect SERPs but is not an overriding factor. In other words just because a site has a PR5, it doesn't mean it will always rank higher than a site with PR2 which is competing for the same keyword. Many other factors are taken into account.
sometimes it can effect but sometimes not .it according to the content and keyword u are using in your site..
It is much simpler in my oppinion, and it is complicated by people, who would like to get a lot in a short time without any real work.... They both are a signal of the quality of the page. PR in one way and the SERP in another.... If one of them is good, that means that the page is good, and it means that the other one is going to get up, not directly because of the high first one, but because you are doing good things on your site. Meaning, if your page rank is good, that means that a lot of people like what you have on your site, that means that your SERP will go up also, but not because your page rank is that good, but because you do good stuff on your site.. And vice versa... And at the end of the day, what you need to do to get them both good is good content, and a lot of it, and you will get both.. Stop looking for a short way there..
I think, it will affects the SERP. But some times, the site with lower page rank may appear the top of the searches.
I dont think so. My site has a PR 0f 2 and its top in most of the relevant key words. not only some times.most of the times.,If your site has a good SERP, that means you are working on it well. your site definitely shows improvement in the next PR updation.
But if your article have more relevant Keywords and the best content (No copied content) it may be listed top than a high PR site.
I saw on some marketing blogs that PR is important but is there any difference between a PR4 (SEO optimized) blog and PR5 (not optimized) blog?
If you think Higher PR means higher ranking than its not true. Let me clarify this for you - There is a PR4 page on weight loss and there is PR1 page on mortgage payment, than which one should you think rank higher for search phrase "mortgage payment" ? Pagerank is only for google internal comparison/ranking pages.
i think that PR and SERPS are interlinked, that's why i don't subscribe to the theory that PR is irrelevant, however, i don't think that PR is as important as a good SERPS ranking
Yes article submission is also helpful. That's also a part of SEO, But what is the relation between SERP and PR??? today's good SERP sites is tomorrows high PR site
Yes, I agree with you poseidon. PR and SERP is like two wings of a bird. this two are important. but there is no direct relation..am i correct??
Yes i think so,, PR is just Google's ranking for a site, they look many things for while updating our PR, But SERP is very Important., that's what we need, If our site has a high PR and not much SERP ,,then what is it's use...??
That's what i wanted to show those webmasters. But i think you got this wrong, no need to say learn me SEO... As i am presenting here with the proof. Better to learn forum posting.
It is a major factor actually in terms of ranking actually. However, what you are trying to imply is that since some low pr sites are ranked over high pr sites for a particular search then how can pr be of any issue right? It actually is not that simple.... It can be because of several factors including the fact that the low pr site maybe even more focused for that particular search term compared to the high pr site. For an example, consider that you search for "Mobile Themes" and you will see many low PR sites are ranked over high PR ones. That is because most of the low pr sites are actually focusing on the term "Mobile" in their site more than anything. Mobile typically means normal cell phones and not the smartphones (once again, typically) but if you search "nokia symbian themes" then you will see that the bigger and High pr sites who are focusing entirely on the word "symbian" are up there in the rankings and the Low PR sites are not there in the first or second page. What does that mean? That means the site with the high pr who is focusing on "symbian" is not only appearing in number one for his search (which in our example is nokia symbian themes) terms but he is also being featured for similar terms in the first page under a Low PR site where he didnt even focus. So Google actually appreciated their "value or PR" and made them featured for a similar term because their site is quite similar to the terms "Mobile themes" and Google of course also found elements of mobile partly in that site. So you see, PR matters like a mofo like it really should too. Ciao!
