Hello Google Lover, I had a question that i read many threads and articles that PR sites rank well that less PR sites! But some time i check and got there are some less pr in up than high pr. What your opinion?? Steve
It doesn't matter if you have less PR or high PR as long as you optimized your site well with your targeted keywords. PR don't affect your ranking.
IMO with competitive keywords, you'll get higher rankings getting many more links to your site, and those link will make your PR increase. So those two factor are related. But with no competitive keywords, you don't need many links to your site to get high rankings. So your PR doesn't need to be high.
The thing is Pagerank is not site based.. its individual page based.. On a well established site such as wikipedia even a PR0 page easily outrank pr 5 page for any given keyword. another thing is Pagerank is based on your backlinks, SERP is based on your backlink and optimization. you need backlinks to have Pagerank and you need backlinks to rank. so pagerank is realted with SERP thru backlinks. if you dont have backlinks then you dont have PR and you wont rank in SERP. Backlinks are all important, pagerank is not.
I have two PR0 sites that both rank very well for their given keywords, just goes to show that PR isnt everything
i think it's related backlinks and seo. you have optimized your site and you need baclinks. both of them will effect together
pr will not effect much if the page is not optimize, so this case low PR site can beat high PR with no optimize. but some keywords, most pages are well-optimized so PR will be an important factor in this situation.
The amount of misinformation given so far is stunning. Can someone post some facts??? Speculation when none of you work for the search engine is wasted typing. Prove it or move along...
see i have experienced that if u optimize your site for highly competitive keywords and u want to stay in top position than pr will give good effect the reason is - google give weight to old domain with compare to new one and if u have pr3 or pr4 that means your site is old.so u can get ranking as pr is high. - the other reason is u can easily get ranking on new site if u have optimize well but it is difficult to keep that ranking with compare to old site.there is a chances for new site to go in sand box if u optimize for competitive keyword. so according to me pr is important as far as ranking and other valuation is concern. thanks
PR is of course important, however in terms of SEO, it really depends on what keywords are you fighting for :s
