Why is it important to have any PR if you are getting traffic and have people purchasing from your site? Why is it important to have PR if you are coming in on 1-2 pages of google for the keywords you are using? Can anyone give a real reason why I should spend money or waste time on directories and comments, and everything else?
Actually not all of people like to purchase pr links , you are one of them . It only one way to promote site . If you get good targeted traffic, why bother to purchase pr links.
Receiving traffic is obviously the most important thing but pr is only important to people who would like to sell links because the higher the pr the more money they can make for a backlink.
So basically, there are many sites that do well without any page rank? Furthermore, no matter how much great content I produce ... It will do nothing for my PR. Although on the toolbar is says, "Googles Importance of this page" I mean dont get me wrong, I totally understand how to gain a higher PR... Im implying that a lot of .EDU sites are very high ranking because a ton of people like to use them for resources. Therefore, they are speading that linky love. I guess in return, concentrating on producing great content will enhance people linking to your content therefore doing wonders for anyones PR. SO again, why concentrate on purchasing links? It seems like content is more important.
It's a hedge against a downturn. With marketing, much like a stock portfolio, you want to be diversified. If you have all your money in one stock- you run the risk of losing everything with a downturn. When you are diversified, you've got other positions to hedge against that.
