Google is in the process of updating its PageRank system again. I have talked with lots of people about the recent changes in their PR. I don't think it has officially rolled out, but I have been noticing changes here and there on a small scale. I decided to start taking screenshots of my rankings in the SERPs to see how the new PR updates have been affecting my position. I don't really know how much PageRank actually affects your search engine rankings..I would say minimal at best. But from screenshots I have taken over the past two weeks and research on PR for my competitors websites in a different niche, I can't completely rule out the the link between the two (however small it may be). In any case, I believe this is an excellent time to look over your SEO strategy as a whole and take some time to learn about your niche. I made a post about how you can improve your SEO techniques during this time, and I hope you can find them helpful. Check out the post about the Google PageRank Update Are you doing anything during this time, or are you just chilling back and watching it happen? Have you noticed any PR changes and correlated position changes?
PR Doesnt affect your search Engine Rankings and they have said that they are removing PR or something simmiliar to that if I remember correctly like a few weeks ago.
Looks a bit lame, nothing new really. @soulravager, Google isn't going to remove PR, newbs have been saying that for years.
They aren't getting rid of it, they just don't think people should use it as the only tool to judge sites. It's been said plenty of times on here, but give me a PR 0 home page with higher SERPS instead of the PR 4 page I have now and I'd be very happy.
I think the only thing PR is good for is if you are taking a quick look at someone else's site, a good starting point to judge their SEO/link building without really taking the time to examine it. As an example when maybe trading links or something such as this.
God, when people stop dreaming about PR and start thinking in terms of traffic and positions? Possibly when Google gives PR10 to every site. Again, ranking (in SERP) does not depend on PR, and vice versa. So, focus on real work.
Yep - agree 100%. ROI. Forget PR for individual results. Page 1, slot 1 is where you want - even if you have a PR0. Making money is the name of the game.
