Pr0 Site Gets Significant Traffic From Google

My PR0 site still ranks first page in Google for a number of phrases, and it gets significant traffic from google... yet it’s PR0! Does anyone know how that’s possible?

Thanks.

 

Either you have great content or you're in a low competition niche.

 

PR and SERP rankings are two different things.
I have a PR1 site that gets over a thousand organic unique visitors daily, and a PR5 website that gets around 10.

It's all a matter of the amount of content you have on your website, the competitiveness of your niche and the keywords you're ranking, and your backlink portfolio and site age.

 

Ok, thanks guys! So when looking to get traffic from Google, PR is kinda irrelevant? Because as you said, PR doesn't equate to a high SERP rank?

 

Google Page Rank is just and indication of vouches for a site, kind of like link votes. SERP rank is calculated differently using Google's complex algorithm. Thus having a high PR doesn't necessarily mean you'll be ranked high on the SERPs as well.

 

Sweet as, then.


cheers

 

Yeah! It is very possible! Sometimes solid on-site SEO can help but it depends on the market and keywords (Etc). For example, it's going to be very unlikely that a PR0 site will rank on the first page of Google for "web design agency" because of the keywords competitive nature. It will need some help with off-site SEO to help it get there. You could also be seeing traffic if you have added your business to search engines map capabilities, like Google Local (etc). I do have clients that collect a healthy amount of organic impressions because of this. Another thing is PR is slowly loosing it's relevance but it can give you insights into a site at face value (as long as it's not a manipulated PR of course).

 

Exactly.

I never even check the PR on my money sites, I couldn't give a stuff about it.
