IBL's yes. PR no. Pr is just the effect of aquiring IBL's. You can easily use search. There are dozens of other threads on this subject.
Yes PR has no affect on your rankings. But as mentioned inbound links do. Also where they come from (i.e. from a similar or same niche) can give the link more importance. Skinny
Ok, thank you. I mean, the more links i have poiting to my site or a specific page, the best search positions i will have? (along with optiizing that specific page of course), do links help that way? Or not having many links to my site would not make a big difference in the positions it would achieve?
surely if inbound links do then Page rank does affect it whether directly or indirecly? (Since good inbound links from a high PR affects page rank)
Links that are related to your Site for example if your site sells Computer parts your links should be regarding computers or cumputer parts. PR is useful for link exchange, the higher the pr the more sites will want to have link exchabge with you. Links pointing to your site gives big difference on your serp positioning
This is what i always thought, but i have read in some threads that pr is not so important and does not affect serps much and that has made me wonder how much the real influence is.
It is true that PR has nothing to do with SERPS. To get better ranking in SERPS you can follow the following simple guidelines. 1- Create unique content and update your website as often as possible. 2- Link Building - Submit to directories (free & paid also consider the right catagory), exchange links with websites that are RELATED to the content of your website. 3- Participate in forums related to your website - the signature link will help you threre 4- Write articles and submit it to article directories I think achieving a good PR will give you satisfaction and confidence in your work. Also if there is no reason why should Google keep updating PR?
As it has been told in this same thread , PR is very important for you to get important Relevant link exchange ... It is Good relevant backlinks ( which results in links exchange) which will give your site a boost in SERP . If your site has a PR of 4 , many more sites will like to exchange links with you then if your site had a PR of 0 .. So to conclude PR is very important , because it is PR which will make your site have more link exchange resulting in more quality backlinks.
I agree with FireStorM, the better your page rank the more likely you are to attact link partners. Apart from that though PR is just a pretty green bar.
