Four questions related to Page ranks

Discussion in 'Search Engine Optimization' started by icpathi, Sep 9, 2008.

    Q1. If I have 1000+ unique visits daily, still do I need PR to come up in search engine?

    Q2. Assume I have 1000+ unique visits a day, will link exchangers show interest over my site with 0 PR but 1000+ unique visits a day so that I will get good PR too.

    Q3. I often see that link exchangers place the exchanged links in a separate page like 'top links' or something and not in the home page. Won't this affect the exchanger's PR?

    Q4. Some days ago I read that PR is no more considered for SEO'ing a website. Is this true?

    Thanks in advance ;)

    1. Don't confuse PR with SERP. The 2 have little, if anything to do with each other.

    2. I don't see this as being a problem in getting links from similar sites.

    3. Debatable.

    4. I don't quite understand this question.

    The answers for the first question answered me the fourth question too. So, thank you.

    Now I found that I can get 100k traffic for as cheap as $25 and all. And I found about it in DP only. SO, I thought I can buy that cheap traffic so that I can search engine optimize my page. Is that bought traffic, just enough for search engine optimizing?? I usually read a lot of things about search engine optimizing a webpage like PR and much more facts. Thats why asking this doubt. Just buying traffic is enough to get top ranking in SE?

    IF PR is not for SERP, then where is it used?

    PR is pretty much just used to stroke the ego. It really has no meaning and people get too hung up on it and ALEXA. Buying traffic is NOT going to Optimize your Search Engine results. Improving the website is the only thing that will do that. Short cuts only work for a short time. Think of it as fixing your car with bubble gum. It may help for a mile or two but then it all goes to heck.

    PR is a psychological trick by Google to get website owners hooked on google and everything they offer. It really has no relevance any more...even to google, and definately no relevance to any of the other search engines.

    Quality traffic is the only thing you should concern yourself with.
    More traffic = more customers/users = more sales/conversions!!!

    The only thing that PR is good for anymore is convincing other websites to exchange links with you. If you have PR they know they can trust you. If you have even higher PR, then the link exchange requests come to you instead of you having to solicit them. So PR still has some use.

    Buying cheap traffic won't necessarily help you. Cheap traffic is usually poorly targeted and does not convert well. It won't have any affect on your PR or your rankings whatsoever. If you have a general topic website that appeals a lot of people, it may still be worth it.

    As other people have said already, you don't need to focus on PR. It does not translate into rankings. If you have enough quality links you will rank well and your PR will also go up because of those quality links. It is the quality links that get the rankings, not your PR.

    Link exchanges may soon become a thing of the past. Several people (including me) have noticed that their links pages had their PR taken away. So link exchanges may start to have less and less effect on rankings and PR. Of course people will find a way around this by posting links on content pages instead.

    You mean this will not SEO my website for a longer time? Or all these kinds of traffic are not allowed by search engines ie, is all these, kind of BlackHatSeo?

    Buying traffic has no effect - it's only use is if you want to show your logs to a prospective buyer and show an inflated amount of traffic. The amount of traffic you do or don't have has no bearing on SEO at all. And generally, it's not real traffic - at best it's popunders, but it's just as likely to be bots.
