  • 0 means that Google knows you exist but don't find you relivent, yet. 10 is the best but is literally impossible to get that high.
  • most of the sites on the web have 0 - zero Page Rank.
    page rank will grow up only once your site get more authority from Google.
  • To give you a little perspective, the WF has a 4/10 PR.

    Even though it's #189 in Alexa.

    • PR doesn't mean anything anymore. It's just a rarely updated number signifying the page's general popularity for the entertainment of those interested in looking at that sort of thing. PR hasn't been used in the ranking algorithm for years.

      The Alexa rank of all online business sites are highly inflated by a higher percentage of industry workers having the Alexa toolbar installed compared to the general public.

  • PR0 is NOT really 0, it is between 0 and 0.999999999999999999
    PR is on a log scale; its rounded down for display in the toolbar.

  • Page rank is really necessary when you are working with a competitive keyword. Other thant lower page rank may not be a issue for you.
  • Whether a PR0 is good or bad depends on a lot of things. The same goes for high PRs. There are some PR0s with lotsa links, some with none. Same for high PRs. For some reasons I'd rather have a PR0 with lotsa links than a PR5 with none.

    Pr O means that it's nothing . My forum got pr3 from this google PR update but for me, it's not important any more.
  • PR acts like satisfaction that your site have some value in Google's eye..But it is not much important..Traffic,Ranking,Reputation etc. should get more consideration..

      I must agree with this opinion, Today we have more website factors to care than website PR. PR is only important for people selling links

    • There is no such thing as a PR 5 with no links.

  • It is just assigned to all new sites having N/A value in PR bar after update.
  • Nothing like a question on PR to bring out a whole bunch of misinformation and half-truths.

    It's simply to do with backlinks, not relevance.

    It's not about authority, it's about backlinks.

    The WF homepage is PR4. There are many pages on the WF that have PR>0. For example, this sub-forum homepage has PR3 as does the WSO forum homepage.

    There are absolute zero PR5 pages with no backlinks. Not possible.

    PR is updated daily. It's just the publicly available PR that gets very infrequent updates.

    There was a public update only a few weeks ago.

    • Google made updates to it in Feb and Dec 2013. This is much too sporadic for the metric to carry any weight in making business decisions.

  • Page rank really isn't as important as people think (as people above already point out).
    The best thing to look at IMO is metrics such as majesties t and c flow, domain age, and also the anchor text of inbound links for that domain.

    I bought a PR0 domain in the health niche a while back and chose 5 low comp keywords.

    All I did was write short snippets, silo the site and whack a few vids on and it's already rankings well for 3 of the 5 keywords.
  • It always fascinates me how people rave about PR. As Peter pointed out above, the amount of misunderstanding out there is crazy!

    Personally, I'd rather have a PR0 site that ranks and generates income than a PR5 site that does nothing but look pretty with high page rank.

  • I really can't understand your post? Did you write it just to ask such questions or increase your posts count? Next time, it would be much easier to read some other threads first!
  • PR0 is better than PRn/a I believe.

    • Nah.......

      All the same shitty experience.

      At worst, begin with a PR1 and you will like the experience of getting featured in position 2, 3 and 4 of the big G depending on the keywords and if you have good off-site SEO then pronto.

  • pr is important but ranking is more important.concentrate on ranking your keywords, worry about pr later when you want to sell your site or sell links
