    Hi

    I hjave noticed that not many people are bothered about PR as they were a year ago.

    It seems that Googles new Algo is working

    Its more an ego boost to have PR, for me anyway.
    Far more important is visitors,members and for product sites paying customers.

    I don't think that PR carries any value....I don't think it ever did, but a lot of people believed that if you got a link on a page on a site that had a high PR, that their PR would increase, and in doing so, so would their traffic. Things got a bit out of hand with webmasters and PR, and I think that things have finally settled down. Especially now that Google (owner of PR) has devalued the practice of buying links to improve search engine rankings and PR.

    ^you're absolutely right jump. PR has just turned as an ego booster and it stops there. It doesn't have any value anymore...

    Talking of PR i just noticed that my main site home page is PR 3 now up from 0 and the forum page is PR1 and the photo gallery also PR1

    The site that competes with me has been very upset of late as well

    I had my link in Wikipedia and he then copied me

    then he went and added a 2nd link to another area of his site, then he went and edited my link so that it would not actually link to my site.

    Then one of the clubs that i have donated money to, he has been complaining to all the directors as they link to my site and not his LMAO

    So for me this is a real ego boost

    also his site is going 4 years and has alexa ranking of 339,000 and mine is going about 5 months and is 362,000

    The world of dogs and internet is great

    Oh and the fact i just came back from italy with 3 good dogs that my friend then posted pics of on his site and he then was horny over them and discovered were mine has also sent him doo lally LMFAO

    Especially since he just imported a POS hahahahaha

    God life is great lately

    Google Page Rank is Google's method of ranking individual web pages. Google looks at the pages that links to your page and how they rank in terms of importance. Specifically pages that have link from important, high quality pages, receive a higher Page Rank. Google combines Page Rank with sophisticated text- matching techniques to find pages, which are both important and relevant to your search.

    The Page rank system is a numerical grade from 0 to 10. In a simplistic breakdown, think of Page Rank in terms of point value. The following numbers are not valid; they are just used to visualize the process.

    Page Rank Value

    4 100
    5 1000
    6 10000

    The values increase by ten fold for each level of page rank. This is very similar to how it actually is. It is approximately ten times more difficult to climb on the next rung in the page rank ladder.

    I think PR is really important as it gagues the importance of web page. Higher PR is the valuable for any site.

    I think traffic is more important than PR because good quality traffic can convert into sales eventually and it can drive your site into more popularity side.

    Well in SEO practice, PR is not the only thing we see. there are some others like amount of content and SEO copywriting. I see some website PR 3 that have alexa rank above 600k. My site still pr1 but already alexa rank about 300k. this is because i have more contents.

    Yeah but you have work on your content too to boost your traffic. Sometime having PR but not having a traffic is a bad sign though IMO i consider them both for SEO.

    PR actually means that how good is your site for search engine bots to crawl on. If you have high PR, your keywords are well good enough for bots to crawl on. Thats somewhat important for a website which is updated daily..

    PR is over rated to be honest , PR can easily be manipulated and is misunderstood how you actually get it , PR is worked out by how many backlinks you have and what Pr them backlinks have, if a site has lots of good high PR backlinks google thinks that its a good site because people are linking to it and then rewards that site with a PR rating.

    Its not rocket science but obviously ive just said it in a simple way for people to understand
