    Yes, PR is still very important for rankings. The quality of a backlink is determined by the PR of the page on which it is placed and whether or not it is dofollow. A site that has a good number of backlinks that are dofollow and placed on High PR pages will have a better chance of ranking.

    PR is still used by Google, however they no longer share the PageRank data publicly. You have no idea what the PageRank is for any page on the internet.

      They are not all zero. You just can no longer see any data, but pages still have PageRank.

    Yes,Pagerank is still the most revealing & important statistic that governs a domain’s potential to rank.For many of us who have been making our living on the Web for the last several years, Google PageRank was the metric that we wanted to chase. Google says it’s used to explain a page’s value.

    Hello Friend ,

    I think page rank still matter in the world of SEO but the only difference is that we cant see page rank any more. Though its my personal opinion another thing thats important is the MOZ DA, that can be a good indicator of the sites overall Authority.

    Yes it is not a ranking factor. The Google use for internal system to evaluate the website authority but nothing is publicly available.

    Moz DA and PA would be a better metric to use these days as thats still monthly updated and you can see whats impacting the score. .

    Google has never said PageRank is "used to explain a page's value". It is a measure of the quality of incoming links.

    No, PageRank never did that. When we could see PageRank data, you could easily find junk pages with high PR.

    The problem with that is Google does not use DA or PA. They are 3rd party metrics that can sometimes be misleading.

    Since Google stopped showing their silly little green bar for each web page users now have to judge a page by whether or not they like the content.


    This was a great move by Google.

      You are assuming that users actually paid attention and/or cared about PR. I know quite a few who didn't. If it was #1 in the results, they clicked on it first.

      They still do that.

    Google has officially shut down toolbar PageRank to the general public. Meaning, internally Google will still be using the data, but it will no longer be visible to the public.I think page rank still matter in the world of SEO because Google Pagerank allows you to get your website pages seen above your competitors. This means more overall traffic to your website.

        Do you feel good when you offend people?
        PR was not stooped 3 years ago, you can perfectly see the PR of a page even today.
        What happened 3 years ago is that PR was disregarded as a SEO factor (officially).
        However, they are a lot of speculation on this and also uncertainty. For example: Alexa keep counting PR on their tops and Alexa is a SEO factor.
        Even Archive.org count PR today. Put a website with PR1 (but popular) on archives and you will barely see any evidence. Put a PR4 there and you will see archives every day. So is dead and still alive.
        Now rumors says that will be completely removed this year. Will see about that, as it was been said that will be removed last year too.

        As for your posts, we would apreciate a more friendly approach. You wouldn't like to be offended of the way you do your work, would you?

          Okay, pal. I'll give you a more friendly approach.

          You CANNOT see the PR of any page today. Never. Ever. Can't do it. Period. End of story.
          (So what kind of SEO are you again?)

          3 years ago, PR was NOT tossed out as a ranking factor. It was made hidden by google.
          Hence, the first comment by you is pure nonsense.

          Alexa?!?!?!?! Hello! McFly! Is anybody home?!?!?!

          Alexa has nothing to do with SEO.

          And yes, I feel quite good to show how little, if any, you actually know!

          The goal is not to offend you. The goal is to point out to you you don't know SEO.

          You should have known. You could have done a search before you responded to me and Paul.

          And those people/sites/tools that tell you PR, they're lying to you because if they told the truth, you wouldn't buy what they sell.

          Google pagerank updates, pagerank dead, google confirms that pagerank is no more

So stop behaving like a God where his subjects stay with the head down when you talk!
          You are just a member, period!.

          Things are very simple with Alexa and has a lot to do with SEO. There is a lot of SEO talk and info's about it. Alexa ranking helps in Google Search rankings and SEO because you will likely get a handful of links if you have a popular websites in your specific industry or niche.
          Alexa is also havely used as SEO and ranking factor on many apps and seo extensions.
          One of the most legit SEO tool called Internet Business Promoter, a very respectable german company have in all of their SEO sections a chapter called:
          "Ranking factors digest"
          Alexa is a factor between: social media factors, Web Site Age, Server Speed, SEOprofiler and so on. Is actually mentioned twice as a factor.

          Here is a proof. I made a screen shot for you of a report on this section:


          Probably you should have a fight with them too!

          And PR can be found. For those that does not put their had on the ground, use:
          prchecker.info
          and any other checker.
          On many plugins PR check may be buggy or not showing correctly, so the sign is that at some point will be completely vanished. However, is still used, as I was saying by Alexa and Archive. Big players exchange information with Google in a completely different way towards as it is shown for the public.
          As I was saying, is about to be completely removed for the public display, I don't argue this, but is no need for such a charade... to prove what? That only certain people can have an absolute opinion here? That the best way to impose is by been agresive, sarcastic and insulting? I can lower down to this level too, is not very hard.. you know... but it is supposed we are on a civilized forum where all have the same rights to have their opinion.

              Your arguments are, indeed, clearly specified, but you don't have anything that remotely resembles proof.

              Why is my goal to show you don't know SEO? Because people who do not know SEO, know they do not know SEO, but want to learn read posts here. If they come across yours and they don't know you don't know SEO, they might pay attention, do what you suggest, and end up with waste.

              Worse, they might buy SEO from you and, since you can sell them something on the par with what you posted on this thread.

              Think a bit. If Google's stopped making PR public (let people outside Google know what the PR of a page is), how can any tool give you the PR of a page?

              Think about Alexa. It is installed on a small fraction of the sites in the world. It based anything and everything, therefore, on a small fraction of the sites in the world. How could it, therefore, be accurate? I've owned sites with 5 visits a month and Alexa said I've got 3000 and sites with 600 visits a month that Alexa thought had 0 visits a month, and sites with... You get the point. Alexa is off by much.

              You made statements that you presented as facts not as opinion. If your opinion was that to make a car engine work better you should fill the tank with orange juice, should I respect it or should I say, Nah, man, don't put orange juice in your tank: your car won't run and it's gonna be a bitch cleaning the tank and the pipes?

              In other words, when there are facts about how something works, why rely on opinions? Especially on opinion that's so way off as yours are?

                It is a very small difference between you2 and a dictatorial approach. This looks like the principle of Kim Jong-un, the extreme comunist from North Corea:
                if is not like what I say, let's kill him.
                In North Corea they are people killed for having their own opinion, for daring to say something else, for not applaud enough for lider or for daring to watch on TV shows from South Corea. You two would fit very well on this country.

                You do your best to kill my business and you have NO right to do this, especially that you seek for revenge just for having a different side of story (WITH PROOFS).
                From the first replay instead of presenting your opinion civilized, you did nothing else than to offend my customers, my company, my business, my website and myself.
                And for what? For an opinion different than yours!

                IBP (Internet Business Promoter), from which I am a proud member, is a team that number around 200 SEO german experts and which happen to be one of the biggest SEO company in the world. They are on the SEO market since 1997 and have 5 starts from PCPro, tucows, PCUpdate, SoftPedia, ReviewNow and tens others.
                Through their application they are millions of SEO reports worldwide. So, on millions of reports Alexa is used as a SEO Ranking Factor and also all statistics from Alexa are been used.
                Indirectly you called hundreds of SEO experts and million of website owner "little", clueless, "poor" and whatever else will come to your mind to offend people and businesses (as this is what is the best you can do).
                So, yeah, I stand by millions of people using Alexa and SEOProfiler as SEO tools. That's so incredible, isn't it?
                And by the way, you can check yourself that IBP reports (with Alexa as ranking factor) is used by brands like: eBay, SIEMENS, Lexmark, CAT (Caterpillar), T Mobile and T Systems and tens of others. Drop them a line to check if what I say is true or not.
                They are so notorious in terms of SEO, that you may be amazed of how "little" you are actually. So here it is how the reports looks like once again for quick reminder:


                Same apply to PR subject. I give you links of others people opinion, not only mine.
                Been "little" means also to talk without perspective and seen only tip of the iceberg. While for public traditional PR tends to disappear, Google still use it as a SEO factor in the internal system but nothing that is published.
                Some speculate that the new PR algorithm is a mix between Moz, Ahref & majestic. Others call it PR reloaded.
                Here are articles that sustain that PR will still be with us in a way or another:
                PageRank Is Dead, But Does It Matter? | MDPM Consulting
                and
                https://www.seoworx.net.au/page-rank-still-important/

                So please do take your time to offend and destroy their business for offering another side of the story too!

                Another sneaky move is to directly attack our site saying
                "You offer 900 powerful backlinks for $35. Need I say more?" So people may thing they will get a bomb of worthless backlinks.
                Since I have to defend myself once again (since these I am assaulted with offences & direct attack on my site), I will inform you that this service is destined for: backlinks, pages from interior of website, blog posts (inside or back-lins outside), articles or press releases (inside or outside). IS CLEARLY HIGHLIGHTED in green:
                THIS SERVICE OFFER 900 BACKLINKS FOR MINIMUM 8 LINKS FROM YOUR SITE (OR OUTSIDE YOUR SITE), AND MAXIMUM 15 LINKS!

                So, divide 900 backlinks to 15 links: means 60 back-links for each link, spread to 4 days, meaning 15 links per day
                Wooow, that really is a crime in terms of SEO! We do 15 links per day per every link that is not a homepage (either other backlinks, interior of website and so on).
                You really discovered the scene of the crime here! You are such a hero!

                Here is the proof they are not worthless with examples of such backlinks:


                To protect client privacy we blurred the termination of links.

                I know all of these attacks to me are malicious and vengeful from people with some knowledge on SEO but with no manners and respect for others. Remember, all of these show was done because I dare to have another opinion, nothing else!

                Attacking a business and a website in such a manner shows also a disrespect for yourself. Imagine that someone came and destroy your reputation and your business and you stay with no money and no suport to provide for your family all of a sudden... for the ambition of some "guru" of SEO. I really wish you to have this feeling one day!!

                This also cost warriorforum future payments for ads I intended to continue to do. Basically what you do is to stop other from earning just to feed your ego.
                You are not God to judge what business to stay and to go just because someone had a different opinion.

                So let the dictatorial approach and accept other people opinion and stop trying to destroy people reputation and businesses.This is not North Corea, is a respectable forum where all can express their opinion on all subjects, regardless of your believes!

                Worse, they might buy SEO from you and, since you can sell them something on the par with what you posted on this thread.

                Think a bit. If Google's stopped making PR public (let people outside Google know what the PR of a page is), how can any tool give you the PR of a page?

                Think about Alexa. It is installed on a small fraction of the sites in the world. It based anything and everything, therefore, on a small fraction of the sites in the world. How could it, therefore, be accurate? I've owned sites with 5 visits a month and Alexa said I've got 3000 and sites with 600 visits a month that Alexa thought had 0 visits a month, and sites with... You get the point. Alexa is off by much.

                You made statements that you presented as facts not as opinion. If your opinion was that to make a car engine work better you should fill the tank with orange juice, should I respect it or should I say, Nah, man, don't put orange juice in your tank: your car won't run and it's gonna be a bitch cleaning the tank and the pipes?

                In other words, when there are facts about how something works, why rely on opinions? Especially on opinion that's so way off as yours are?

                  In North Corea they are people killed for having their own opinion, for daring to say something else, for not applaud enough for lider or for daring to watch on TV shows from South Corea. You two would fit very well on this country.
                  How about you don't call your weak backlinks powerful and don't claim that Alexa ranking number is meaningful?

                  Nah! There's a huge difference. All I did was point out inconsistencies, errors and false claims.

                  You do your best to kill my business and you have NO right to do this, especially that you seek for revenge just for having a different side of story (WITH PROOFS). You don't have proof. You have a screen shot of someone's something that includes Alexa ranking. That does not mean Alexa Ranking has anything to do with SEO, ranking sites, or that it is accurate or that it is a good way of measuring anything.
                  From the first replay instead of presenting your opinion civilized, you did nothing else than to offend my customers, my company, my business, my website and myself.
                  And for what? For an opinion different than yours! No, not for an opinion that's different but for statements that are not fact-based. Read below and you might understand. Also, I doubt your clients and prospects were offended.

                  IBP (Internet Business Promoter), from which I am a proud member, is a team that number around 200 SEO german experts and which happen to be one of the biggest SEO company in the world. They are on the SEO market since 1997 and have 5 starts from PCPro, tucows, PCUpdate, SoftPedia, ReviewNow and tens others.
                  Through their application they are millions of SEO reports worldwide. So, on millions of reports Alexa is used as a SEO Ranking Factor and also all statistics from Alexa are been used.
                  Indirectly you called hundreds of SEO experts and million of website owner ”little”, clueless, ”poor” and whatever else will come to your mind to offend people and businesses (as this is what is the best you can do).
                  So, yeah, I stand by millions of people using Alexa and SEOProfiler as SEO tools. That's so incredible, isn't it?No, it's not incredible. I know a lot of people do what you do. I just don't know why. Alexa ranking is a guess based on a limited number of websites. Why would anyone who has been informed of that take it as if it was based on all websites in the world and highly accurate is beyond me.
                  And by the way, you can check yourself that IBP reports (with Alexa as ranking factor) is used by brands like: eBay, SIEMENS, Lexmark, CAT (Caterpillar), T Mobile and T Systems and tens of others. Drop them a line to check if what I say is true or not. So, you're saying even big companies make mistakes when it comes to SEO? I knew that.
                  They are so notorious in terms of SEO, that you may be amazed of how ”little” you are actually. So here it is how the reports looks like once again for quick reminder:You do know that notorious means famous for bad things, right?


                  Same apply to PR subject. I give you links of others people opinion, not only mine.You do know that Google stopped updating publicly the PR of pages in 2013 and removed PR from anything public in 2016, right? That means neither you, I or Siemens SEO team know what the PR of a page is. Therefore, it is impossible for you, me or the Siemens SEO team to sell links from a page with PR of 5 and know for a fact that the page has a PR of 5.
                  Been ”little” means also to talk without perspective and seen only tip of the iceberg. While for public traditional PR tends to disappear, Google still use it as a SEO factor in the internal system but nothing that is published. I never said Google doesn't use it; I only said it's not making the PR of pages public and, therefore, you don't know the PR of pages.
                  Some speculate that the new PR algorithm is a mix between Moz, Ahref & majestic. Others call it PR reloaded.I don't care what people speculate what the new PR algorithm is. I care that I don't know what it is and they don't know either.
                  Here are articles that sustain that PR will still be with us in a way or another:
                  PageRank Is Dead, But Does It Matter? | MDPM Consulting
                  and
                  https://www.seoworx.net.au/page-rank-still-important/

                  So please do take your time to offend and destroy their business for offering another side of the story too!

                  Another sneaky move is to directly attack our site saying
                  ”You offer 900 powerful backlinks for $35. Need I say more?” So people may thing they will get a bomb of worthless backlinks.They are getting hit with links that are worthless or, at least, not powerful. We must have a different definition of the word "powerful" and of the word "worthless."

                  If you get 1 backlink for a competitive keyword, and that 1 backlink gets your page to move from #37 to #1, that's a powerful link. If you get 2 backlinks that move your page from #28 to #7, those are powerful links.

                  If you get over #110 backlinks to a page and it moves you for a competitive keyword from #13 to #8, you have got yourself some weak backlinks. You need lots more to make it to #1.

                  If you get over #110 backlinks to a page and they move your page (for a competitive keyword) from #79 to #37, you've got yourself some really weak links.

                  And if the links don't move your page or move it from #79 to #78, you've got yourself worthless links.

                  The other side is this: you're charging $35 for 900 of them. That's a few cents per link. Powerful links are rare, worthless links are plentiful. Powerful links, therefore, are expensive, worthless links are expensive.

                  I have a site that, when Google used to show the PR publicly, had a PR of 3. I'm not giving anyone one link from there for $35, let alone 900. See what I mean?
                  Since I have to defend myself once again (since these I am assaulted with offences & direct attack on my site), I will inform you that this service is destined for: backlinks, pages from interior of website, blog posts (inside or back-lins outside), articles or press releases (inside or outside).

                  Wooow, that really is a crime in terms of SEO! We do 15 links per day per every link that is not a homepage (either other backlinks, interior of website and so on).
                  You really discovered the scene of the crime here! You are such a hero! Calling me names does not change the fact that you claim to sell powerful links but do not. Whether you build 15 or 7 or 307 backlinks per day is not relevant to anything.

                  Here is the proof they are not worthless with examples of such backlinks:


                  To protect client privacy we blurred the termination of links.That was a list of URLs. Nowhere in there is there any proof that any of those links are for pages that have PR of anything, power, backlinks of their own, let alone good backlinks of their own.

                  I know all of these attacks to me are malicious and vengeful from people with some knowledge on SEO but with no manners and respect for others. Remember, all of these show was done because I dare to have another opinion, nothing else!

                  Attacking a business and a website in such a manner shows also a disrespect for yourself. Imagine that someone came and destroy your reputation and your business and you stay with no money and no suport to provide for your family all of a sudden... for the ambition of some ”guru” of SEO. I really wish you to have this feeling one day!!If facts destroy my reputation, what reputation do I have. Problem would be if someone lied about what I did or said and that destroyed my reputation.

                  This also cost warriorforum future payments for ads I intended to continue to do. Basically what you do is to stop other from earning just to feed your ego.
                  You are not God to judge what business to stay and to go just because someone had a different opinion. Never said I was God. Just that PR is not publicly shared, so claiming to know it is a lie; that Alexa ranking is a useless metric (it is not accurate, therefore, you cannot rely on it, you can increase it without your website making you more money (i.e., getting more visitors); and that 900 backlinks for $35 cannot be powerful (and, the screenshot of the links show that they, indeed, are not. Reminder: a powerful link comes from a page that has many good backlinks itself. A newly created page, even on a great website, has little power.

                  So let the dictatorial approach and accept other people opinion and stop trying to destroy people reputation and businesses.This is not North Corea, is a respectable forum where all can express their opinion on all subjects, regardless of your believes!You are finally right: this is not North Korea but a forum.

                  No words. Not only do they prove the links are HORRIBLE. they are also from many of the very sources that mass submitter spam bots use over and over again to link spam.

                  To protect client privacy we blurred the termination of links.
                  To protect your clients you ought to stop doing SEO until you know what you are doing. I am no fan of Paul but fact is fact . Its not an opinion that several of the things you have said in this thread are wrong. its just the living truth

                  Remember, all of these show was done because I dare to have another opinion, nothing else!
                  nope....all of this show was done because people are tired of people claiming to be SEOs who don't know what they are doing. The half point I will give you is on Alexa

                  Alexa can matter if you are referring to the links they report (links always matter) but thats not what people are referring to. They are referring to alexa rankings which have nothing to do with SEO at all. NO good SEO anywhere on the planet believes the rank Alexa report is a SEo factor.

    Listen pal Paul,
    I am not sure if you are a friend with DABK and you have his back or something (and the rest that will came after), everyone has the right to have an opinion, regardless of your aggressiveness and status in here. So stop behaving like a God where his subjects stay with the head down when you talk!
    You are just a member, period!.

    Things are very simple with Alexa and has a lot to do with SEO. There is a lot of SEO talk and info's about it. Alexa ranking helps in Google Search rankings and SEO because you will likely get a handful of links if you have a popular websites in your specific industry or niche.
    Alexa is also havely used as SEO and ranking factor on many apps and seo extensions.
    One of the most legit SEO tool called Internet Business Promoter, a very respectable german company have in all of their SEO sections a chapter called:
    ”Ranking factors digest”
    Alexa is a factor between: social media factors, Web Site Age, Server Speed, SEOprofiler and so on. Is actually mentioned twice as a factor.

    Here is a proof. I made a screen shot for you of a report on this section:


    Probably you should have a fight with them too!

    And PR can be found. For those that does not put their had on the ground, use:
    prchecker.info
    and any other checker.
    On many plugins PR check may be buggy or not showing correctly, so the sign is that at some point will be completely vanished. However, is still used, as I was saying by Alexa and Archive. Big players exchange information with Google in a completely different way towards as it is shown for the public.
    As I was saying, is about to be completely removed for the public display, I don't argue this, but is no need for such a charade... to prove what? That only certain people can have an absolute opinion here? That the best way to impose is by been agresive, sarcastic and insulting? I can lower down to this level too, is not very hard.. you know... but it is supposed we are on a civilized forum where all have the same rights to have their opinion.

    You CANNOT see the PR of any page today. Never. Ever. Can't do it. Period. End of story.
    (So what kind of SEO are you again?)

    3 years ago, PR was NOT tossed out as a ranking factor. It was made hidden by google.
    Hence, the first comment by you is pure nonsense.

    Alexa?!?!?!?! Hello! McFly! Is anybody home?!?!?!

    Alexa has nothing to do with SEO.

    And yes, I feel quite good to show how little, if any, you actually know!

      I swear, and this is the 100% truth...I have met a lot of clueless people here, but man, you take the cake.

      There is no PR checker online that works. None. Either they are:

      b) Give at best 3 year old PR.
      c) Don't work.
      d) Give a random guess.

      You are honest. You admit you don't know that!!!!

      Alexa is a product of amazon.com. (yeah, THAT amazon.) It's for entertainment purposes and to get people funneled to their money sites. Amazon owns many things and wants a slice of "webmaster" pie.

      No SEO person in their RIGHT MIND would ever say that alexa matters.

      And you even admit that you don't know that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I don't think page rank is still matter in SEO because we prefer page rank for the reputation of the website, if the website receives more traffic and visitors its page rank will increase. But now there are many factors which are responsible to bring the traffic, to build the reputation credit score of a website.

      Actually, we don't know. We know it's not made public anymore.

      The number of visitors is not a ranking factor: far too easy to manipulate.

    After previous update, page rank is not visible. There are other factors that matters in SEO right now are DA, Domain age and alexa rank.

      I don't understand how someone can look at a URL like this /shard/s573/sh/219cd805-3a8c-43c9-blah-blah-blah/4bfd and not automatically think Spam.


      I understand he's the seller of the above, still... Have a clue already!

    Google is not giving any value to PR these days, even not showing page rank of websites. We need to focus to increase DA from now.

    Only Toolbar Pagerank is Dead - Real Pagerank is Alive & Well
    Google Pagerank FormulaPR & Algorithm updates always happen in real time. When Toolbar PR used to be updated, and a domain went from a PR2 to a PR3, the sites real PR didn't update overnight, only the ToolBar Pagerank did. The site was most probably already a PR3 two months before the Toolbar PR update. A domain's real PR increases within a 48hr period of Google crawling its latest inbound links. These incremental increases are in ratio to the quality and volume of new inbound links.

    Pagerank is still the most revealing & critical metric that governs a domain's ability to rank. But since 2013 Google have chosen not to update & share this information any more in an attempt to make their search results harder to manipulate. There are a lot of inexperienced Seo's losing money in domain auctions and also letting great domains pass them by because of outdated PR metrics. Some people are paying hundreds of dollars for domains with a Toolbar PR6 when in reality the domain is probably a PR0.

    The opposite is also true whereby people are letting great domains slip by because they have a Toolbar PR0. A domain with a Toolbar PR0 could potentially be a healthy PR5 domain. If that domain has a Domain Authority of 47 (DA45), and a Trust Flow of 36 (TF35), then that domain is probably a healthy PR5, even though it has a Toolbar PR0.

    Hey! Page Rank is no more important in SEO as it is removed by Google completely. Earlier,PR holds huge importance in knowing the level of website but at present it has been excluded from the list. Just check out the content of the website and the domain authority, you'll get to know whether the website is reliable or not.

      How do you know it's not giving any value to PR? Just because they don't make it public doesn't mean they don't use it, you know?
