Hello,

I've read some weeks ago on other boards that PR doesn't work (update) anymore. Is this true?
I've some sites and I'm improving them to raise their PR, Alexa Rank, etc. by Traffic, SEO tools and backlinks from sites with high PR (I'm paying for these links.

Thank you for your time, and for your possible answers.

Regards!

PR stills update! Whoever told you no is a liar. However be careful with paid links.

Well, yeah it still updates once in a while, but the real question is: why do you care about it? It doesn't affect your rank, and neither does your Alexa rating. I guess it could matter if you're intending to sell links on them, but that's about it.

  PageRank still updates for websites, who are launched before July/August. For new websites PageRank is 0!

  Hello,
  
  Thank you all guys for your replies.
  Well, I was wondering due my main site has good backlinks, most build by myself (forums signatures, etc), and my site is still on PR 0, anyway, as edgars2 say, I bought my domain on June/July, but the site was started to promote one month after.
  I think I should wait for the next update in order to know which is my pagerank.
  
  Regards and thank you!
  
  Thanks

  Yeah surer PR still works, but my blog is still only around the 1.25 million worldwide ranking and I can't seem to push it any further
  
  Thanks

Does it work or does it matter? The domain PR no longer matters in my opinion.

All it is, is visible for us, google doesn't let us see the real PR... aka trust rank.

  Yeah, that's I've read before. It's part of the reason of my question.

It lost authority a while ago... I believe it has lost even more since the last update, but I can't really prove that. It isn't as powerful as it once was, and it is pointless about worrying about your OWN PR.

Sometimes yes... but PR of the page you're linking from, isn't always what it seems. There are many other factors.

PageRank still updates, just it takes a couple of times.
So you'll not notice.

PR still has an importance and it is still updated. But PR is not the only major thing to focus on ranking a website.
