YEAH, agreed. Also, it may be showing PR0 as pr update yet to come to the site. And sure serp ranking update very very frequently.
How much competition your keyword have?? My two new sites have PR0 (I don't know if PR update is over now) but have some rank and getting traffic too. But it does not mean..PR have no value. Probably the back links of your site have PR like mine.
Competition is very low - deliberately. rather than target the competitive 10% of my keywords, I target th 90% un-competitive keywords; that I've found to have just as much, or more, traffic as the most obvious and competitive terms
PR doesn't matter when it comes to rankings, but often the sites ranking high in your niche, only have PR because they have links from authority websites with PR. I doubt they actually care about it..
I gave it a three, I really don't think it's that important - though it is taken into account. If you're purely looking for rankings I'd worry more about my title tag.
I think you are taking PR of particular page in mind. And I am talking about PageRank as a whole concept. What do you think, PR of backlink pages plays important role in ranking of that particular page? If yes, then PR is important. I hope you get my point.
I get your point. As i made reference to both types in my first reply on this topic. However, google themselves, state that true page rank is only one of over 100 factors used when determining SERPs. I do not believe that is given any special weight, above being included in the algo
Yep, it's still part of the ranking algorithim - one of more than 100 factors, and it's importance has been seriously devalued over the last couple of years.
I think it was a slip of the tongue - he corrected it in the post above you - saying the same as U just did
Yeah - it caught me off guard when I read it as North is one of my M8s. but it was corrected... so no worries
It can't be important. I have a PR0 10y/o site with content (www.mysite.com) I just added a testing html page with no advertising, no inbound/outbound links, no nothing about 2months ago (www.mysite.com/test) and it is PR3 PR = BS
Yeah - so there! Now play nice or Chris wiil take his marbles and go home ha ha ha ha... G'day North.. nice 2 cya as always... U just gotta come join me at WWS some time...
Now, it is PR0 at my toolbar. What is BS?? I think you are saying it is crap. Can you please explain a bit how this experiment prove that PR is not important. You gave no outbound/inbound link, no advertising, nothing..and it got PR3, so...how it mean PR is not important?
