I am struggling to figure out how it is that so many sites with low PR receive much higher G-Search-traffic than SOME-sites with a higher PR. Can anybody shed light on this please? Is it simply a question of ‘pages with high PR’ place higher for particular ‘keywords’ on G-search than those with lower PR? Conversley a Lower PR page with better/more popular keywords gets more G-search-traffic as a consequence of showing up in more searches?
There isn't one. All other issues aside the PR displayed on the toolbar is always months behind a sites "real" PR so trying to tie PR to traffic levels is impossible.
Thanks for the quick reply. I suspected that would be the answer. I guess PR might be a bit of a Red-Herring as far as traffic/visitors/customers.
If PR is about back links then.......... According to Google I have 1 back link using www.googlerankings.com yet my PR is 3!! So, if it is just about back links then I only need Google to pick up 2 more back links and I am in the money!!!
It's more complicated than that. You can have a 100 or more backlinks and still be a PR3. Each page can pass approximately 85% of it PR, divided between all the outgoing links on the page. A PR3 site with 100 links on it passes very little PR, but a PR5 with only one outgoing link can make a page a PR5 if the PR5 linking to your site is really a 5.9. PR adds nothing to your traffic. If your PR comes from relevant sites, then it will help you with SERPS. PR is a result of backlinks, and google is all about relevant backlinks. You can have a PR6 site that receives very little traffic, or a PR0 that receives thousands of visitors. Each increase of 1 in PR is approximatley 6-8 times harder.... i.e. you need at least six times of the same PR weight to go from a PR3 to PR4. After a PR5, it starts getting difficult - assuming no paid high PR links.
Both are different PR is a page rank give by Google or any search engine, But the traffic shows that how much visitors comes on your site.
