I am new at this and this may be a dumb question buy my site was listed on google suggests and my pr was 0. Now it is 3 and we do not show up.
Saying that PR helps your website rank well is like saying every time it rains I get wet so me getting wet must make it rain. Don't forget to check out the google results below. There is a thread on this topic that is second and third in google for the secret of pr revealed out of 487,000 results so it must be true. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rlz=1B2DVFC_enAU222AU223&q=The+secret+of+PR+revealed&btnG=Search
I kind of agree but i still think pr is significant. Similar thing can be said : Saying the pr doesn't help my website is like staying in denial. If i look at the lot of PPP opps, i notice those big businesses are asking for good pr ones not the pr0. I am pretty sure they got good guys to deal with the marketing and seo.
If you have a well optimized site with your keywords, it should rank well in the SERPS, provided it has been in the web for quite a while and you have been submitting it to search engines. PR, a Google created thingy, relies on the number of incoming and outgoing links in your site. We all know the result of joining link farms to increase the PR after google covered that loophole a few years back. Now we are going through another round of PR cleaning. This time it affects those who sell links. Can't blame them though cause google gives the PR and you are using that PR to sell links to make money. Googles takes away that PR and you lose the customer who is only interested in your site because of your PR.... PR is not the same as SERP. Try to convince your customers on your SERPS.
1. Google does not show you "real" pr (just the same as with backlinks) 2. Google still counts links and age to rank websites (but not only them). 3. Everything is important (you shouldn't focus on the mere pr factor): -content -traffic -age -links -internal structure; -etc, etc, etc... Even "private data" like your bounce rate and google subscription data might be the part of the algorithm.
Hi All, Yes PR is nice But it is just a small piec of the Google Algo Pie. Incoming 1 way links are a big factor, as well as updating the site ofter with relevent unique content is a huge factor. master357
Yes.. I agree with you.... 100% PR does means something....... Consider the case of Johnchow.com Google penalysed that site and they dropped for the keyword "make money online" and also for the keyword "john chow"
Yup, totally agree. And another thing I would like to add is that if anybody here don't think PR is important and meaningless, please send me some pr juice from your site or blog to my blog http://www.intelligenius.net. It has PR 0 right now. thanks in advance.
