I don't think, that Google PR is important yet now, coz I have seen many low page rank site at No.1 place in google search. Although it is an important aspect but don't take it so seriously as the search engines had undergone o many algorithm updates, may be PR is not in the priority list.
Why so many of you waste time worrying about PR and when google may update it etc... For gods sake, Worry about your damm Content for a change !! Instead of wasting 20mins checking all your websites PR try learning to write a English / Readable article.
I agree with zinghana, at the end of the day what will make your site successful is the quality of your content.
PageRank (PR) was Google’s original secret weapon, a scale that would rank websites based on incoming links and where those links came from. Although its relevance has arguably faded a bit over the years as Google has added more and more criteria to site rankings, it still goes hand in hand with SEO and every webmaster out there wants to have a high PR.
Yes, PR is still important let me explain.... What is more inportant to get better position in SERp ------ Backlink How you decide whether a backlink is valuable or not --------- PR of site that is giving the backlink...decides the value of backlink Then ultimately root is -PR So it is clear that PR still important but whenever we start talking about PR, people try to relate it with Google Algo............
Ofcourse, Pagerank is very important especially if you are SEO specialist. It shows how effective your seo techniques are if the Pr of your site gets top rank.
Yes off course! Google pagerank shows how important your site is. Once your site is important, Google would rather to choose your site for its search result. So, you must increase your site pagerank to improve your position in search result.
I think pagerank importent ıs google because google pr or to raise the need to get a nice link that takes care of it
PageRank is still extremely important to anyone marketing on the web, especially if you’re selling SEO services or operating a web business. PR was one of the most important signals that heavily affected the search results. As a consequence SEO Professionals heavily focused on increasing the PageRank values of their pages either by building links naturally or by acquiring paid links from high PageRank pages.
Obviously, Google Page Rank is still important. As far as I know no one is for ever in the world. So, if Google wants to keep its position, all time it has to maintain Page Rank. I do believe that Google is the number one of the world. But if it doesn't do this then other will take its place.
Yes, of course the PageRank is still a very important factor.there are more important tools but by the way pagerank is important to a great number of queries. that is why you can not ignore it at all.
PR has never been important, since day one.. all it turned into was a gimmick. The idea was legitimate, but it just got blown way out of proportion when people started influencing pr unnaturally.
I gotta agree that if you are selling links people still look at Page rank otherwise I dont think it has much effect now.
Pagerank has never been important for me. If you are in the link selling business PR obviosly is important. If you sell products, or generate revenue from ads then traffic should be your main concern. not PR
