Is Page Rank Important?

I was just wondering because my page rank is 1 and my blog has been around for 6 months.

 

Well, so far PR still counts. But Google hasn't updated it for about half a year, so there some talks about this factor being devaluated. But so far it counts.

 

What needs to be done to increase page rank?

 

Well, PR is not as such important.. PR is just a reputation of the website.. If you are getting good visitors and you are earning from your site.. Who consider a PR...

For a good PR your content should be unique, you need to have good quality backlinks.. few good quality links are enough to give you a good PR for your website... Just do honest and quality work and have patience.. You will have a good PR soon..

 

PR tells how trustworthy and importnant your site is. Anyway dosnt really matter what PR you have, it will raise after time, if you blog will be active and have good content

 

Page Rank is nice, but quality traffic and conversions are better.

 

Counts for what? I do not care about PR, people try to sell me ads to sites with PR, but PR does not mean you have more traffic, or the quality of traffic is better. I have many sites with PR and many with 0 PR. One of my busiest sites was with 0 PR and it made me the most money since it was quality traffic and linked high for certain terms in google. So I have no clue what it "counts" for.

 

Hello,
Of course, Page Rank is important for web page. PR says how trustworthy and important your site is.
Few basic steps for increasing page rank:

• Collect backlinks from high PR and domain authority sites.
• Collect backlinks from Trustworthy sites.
• Post quality content.
• Do not copy content.

 

Counts for site quality. PR is still one of the metrics for site evaluation, though its importance is diminished

 

I have seen some really crappy looking sites with high PR. And quality for who? Google? Why does the quality matter? I think traffic is the only thing that matters and PR does not bring any more traffic in my experience.

 

Agree with you on this point.

traffic may be crappy as well

My point is that site shouldn't be evaluated on the basis of just one criterion, like PR or traffic

 

Those of us who have been webmasters for a good number of years know that PR used to be very important. Nowadays, it still carries some (unknown-to-us amount) of weight in Google's algorithm, but most experts suggest that PR's value is considerably diminished compared to, say, five or more years ago.

PR is a result of backlinks ... and backlinks are important. Get links from relevant, high-quality websites to your pages, and keywords on those pages will improve in the search rankings.

 

What is the best way to get backlinks?

 

Hi, In simple terms, page rank is a measure of how 'important' a web page is. It works on the basis that when another website links to your web page, it's like a recommendation or vote for that web page.
1. PageRank adds weight and authority to your website
2. A high PageRank measures the webpage's popularity
3. Frequent indexes
4. Advertisers use your PageRank as basis for ad placements

PageRank is like a badge of honor. It is a key to credibility, lucrative advertisements and link partnerships. Have a nice day
