    Hi,

    As you might have noticed... Google updated the PR Today.... and thankfully I got a PR of 2 from PR 0....

    So does that means that I get more traffic automatically?????

    Please reply...... am curious about this..

    they're not DIRECTLY related, but if you have a higher page rank, that means you have links from high places, which means you will more then likely rank better in the SERPS for w/e anchor text they list you for.

    Mostly you've got more traffic when you have more PR. But it is not 100% true.

    No. Search engine results generate traffic.

    PR IS BULLSHIT!

    After a long time waiting, at least pr goes updated. I've noticed some site gone bad from pr4 to pr2.

    Page rank = More authority
    But PR won't give you traffic as the guy above said.
    Just mean you have alot of links to pointing to your site.

    Although to say "PR is bullshit" well thats total idiocy. High PR backlinks with your anchor text (keywords) can push your site up in the serps.
    So feel free to link to your other sites on your PR2 page. Reap the benifits of a Good backlink.

    The same for me. Today I have no more traffic than before on my site. Unfortunately, I have a PR3 and when I search for my keywords there are PR4's at the bottom of the first page of search results.

    I have a PR 4 site that for some reason (i cant figure out why because I never buy paid links... perhaps due to a link exchange program?) has dropped to PR N/A with today's update but it still ranks the same for all keywords as it did before and I'm seeing no decrease in Google search traffic.

    My PR increased to 3 and I have seen one hit in the last 30 mins or so. I don't think it really matters until you get it pretty high.

    My site has also got PR 2 today but traffic is constant. More sites has gone down which has more PR. What is the reason that they has lost their PR?
