I have a site that is a PR0 and has been getting great traffic for being well ranked for some competitive terms. I am working on securing backlinks, continuing to provide good to great info but I am worried about long term being a PR0 and ranking well... Do they go hand in hand?
I think most agree PR is now becoming an outdated tool to rank a website. If your traffic and serps are good, continue what you are doing, but still keep getting those backlinks.
I know sites with 0-pr with 3k visitors/week and 5-pr site with 300 visitors/month What the-problem,if your site is ranking well?You have visirors,and its the-main.
I have several websites with PR 0 and they had good rankings for almost a year but then sudenly disapeared from SERP so I think PR still matters when it concerns long term ranking. Just get some good backlinks and you'll get some PR next update.
PR of your site doesn't affect position of your site directly. It is an emanation of sites quality which points to your. But you can be ranked well (also in long term) with low PR on your site, so I thing you should not worry and keep working on it.
If you have great content and quality backlinks with the appropriate anchor text links you will rank well in the search engines regardless of your page rank.
don't worry my site have pr0 but every day there are more than 2500 visitors every day i think serp very important than pr
If your site is new, then it is ranked well because google give a New Content Boost to new pages or new web sites and rank them very high in search results but only for few days.
Just keep creating interested unique content,content is the real king,it will keep the traffic to your site.
SERPs is import than PR,People want to raise PR for the SERPs If your SERPs is very nice.dont care the PR.
You are going on a very right direction... If you can sustain in Google in TOP position for more than 2 weeks, It means your strategy is just working fine for you. But...you must work on increasing quality back links...if your back link count is reducing then...you will see a random ranking in the first page, it means..you may be dropped to second or third page. Back link work is important.
PR and SERPS are 2 difreent things Higher PR DOESN"T MEAN GIGHER SERPS So concentrate on geting serps pr will come (and it's worthless anyway)
