The Real Deal with Page Rank!

[commoditytrainer]

I thought I would put my two cents in the conversation with Page Rank which everyone talks about and is concerned where the site is according to the green tool bar. First of all I want to state one thing, which is fact based on my own results. Page Rank has nothing to do with with search engine result placements (serps).

The reason Page Rank is called Page Rank is because Page rank goes by the "Page" not the domain of the site. So if you have a homepage with a PR of 4 and the inner link is zero, and the link is placed on the zero page, then that is a zero Page Rank link ----- Period.

How to increase Page Rank? Get links from higher Page Ranks "PAGES", than yours, in quotes I said pages, not domains. If you can get one PR 7 link that will do wonders. Now I have built a lot of sites, and they have PR 0 to PR 7, the ones that have PR 7 took a lot of work, I had to get a ton of PR 5 links to get to seven, but then one day I realize that instead of getting all the lower Page Rank Links I decided to get one higher than me.

Here is what happened to one of my sites recently that had less than five links. I was fortunate enough to have a inventory of Page rank five sites and I put a couple of links back to my new site, and guess what, my site was a PR 5, easy said easy done, but I still had to do more Seo to get positioning in the search engine results.

Seo, and Page Rank are interdependent of each other. What that means is Page Rank has a big circle, and Seo has a big circle and the circle barely cross one another. If you can imagine that in your mind then you may understand the relationship between PR and SEO.

Fastest way to PR; get a high PR link with low OBL's; this will have little impact on your search engine results.

SEO, place backlinks in many places throughout the web ranging from PR 0 and up, which will increase the impressions for your website in the search engine results.

If you read the post all they way through. Thank you!

Does anyone really care about Pagerank anymore? I haven't even checked mine in years...

[Bryan V]

Of course people still care about PageRank of inbound links. But for the pages being ranked, it doesn't matter to so much.

Page rank determine number of inbound back links and quality content of the page.

only when selling a site or links, as other people seem to care about it...

I guess any real "post" about Page Rank should
call it what it is, PageRank.

When you make a blanket statement that PR has
nothing to do with SERPS, your whole "post"
falls apart.

PR does indeed have an effect on SERPs, and if you
read this forum, among other things, you would have
been enlightened.

Since you were too lazy, I'm too lazy.

This thread will be #1 for some unique words, PR n/a.

But that has nothing to do with PR, whether PR
matters, or any other such rot about about organic
SEO, real searches, and real people doing them.

Seriously, do some real research on why the people that
started google came up with PageRank, and why it matters.

Wrong: Page rank is one of many factors used in ranking a site it may be miniscule but it is used.

The reason Page Rank is called Page Rank is because Page rank goes by the "Page" not the domain of the site. So if you have a homepage with a PR of 4 and the inner link is zero, and the link is placed on the zero page, then that is a zero Page Rank link ----- Period.

Wrong Again: Page rank is named after Larry page and wasn't named because rank goes by page...rank can also go by domain.

How to increase Page Rank? Get links from higher Page Ranks "PAGES", than yours, in quotes I said pages, not domains. If you can get one PR 7 link that will do wonders. Now I have built a lot of sites, and they have PR 0 to PR 7, the ones that have PR 7 took a lot of work, I had to get a ton of PR 5 links to get to seven, but then one day I realize that instead of getting all the lower Page Rank Links I decided to get one higher than me.

Again wrong: you can get links from a high ranked domain and you get get crap loads of pr 0 links and still rank.

Fastest way to PR; get a high PR link with low OBL's; this will have little impact on your search engine results.

SEO, place backlinks in many places throughout the web ranging from PR 0 and up, which will increase the impressions for your website in the search engine results.

Where did you learn this stuff?

I bet people with PR8 websites would laugh off this post

Yep, PageRank is entirely irrelevant.

That's why you see so many PR0's and PR N/A's dominating
the top rankings in Google.

Good post OP

Good post OP?!?!?!?!

Well, look what you have in your sig! LOL!

People are so daft about PR, it's insane.

Anyone who says PR is irrelevant, should not be
advertising high PR links as some panacea.

After all PR is irrelevant, right?

Oh...wait...on second thought...gee...maybe...er...um...

And let me quote the sig before it gets changed...

PANDA LOVES PAGERANK

ROTFLMAO!

LOL, nice.

But, to mirror a few people, PR isn't exactly irrelevant, but there is WAY too much hype about it. It's nice to have, but there are plenty of PR0 dominating the search engines.

I figured he was being sarcastic but the good post OP was hard to figure out.

anyway People, people people. Come on. You are confusing two things.

The PR of your page does not matter for ranking for a particular serp IF the PR didn't come by links with that anchor text.

It matters HEAPS if in fact that PR was gained with anchor text specific links.

SO PR IS HUGE. VASTLY IMPORTANT when it comes to getting targeted links. Now if it doesn't include your anchor text it won't help you rank for that term but thats apples and oranges. Put the anchor text together with PR and PR is as important today as it has ever been.

The hype would be fine and really good if people understood how to utilize PR. The power of getting your site high in Pr is not so that site can rank high for a term it may not be optimized for but for it to link to another of your sites that actually is. Huge boost and worthy of the hype on that issue.

So if you had the choice of a contextual link from a PR7 page or PR0 page, you wouldn't care which one to use?
