The grandness of PR is a myth gave by web masters trying to sell back links. Site content is king as well as will be for a long time to come.
Great post with no ending discussion.
As per me I considered PR as same as Rank given to us in our examination during our school days coz I am always at last rank and this affects me lot in many ways. So for me Rank 1 is very much importance and in practically also in anything with rank 1 given first prefernce and importance.
But here in google algorithum it is reverse i.e. PR 10 is rank 1 while PR 0 and PR 1 is last and it means that site with PR 10 is very much infomative and useful that is why PR 10 is alloted to that site.
So for me PR is not that thing which I neglect and take it as granted.
As for me PR in actuality does not materialize given that I have a good quality amount of trade off to my website. Ultimately, we simply desire to interchange am I correct?
It is Google's view of the grandness of a page. Just Google's. I have websites listed in the top 5 with a PR2 or PR3 and not since of PR but because of key word relevance in the body text. There are many issues that influence position and depending on which Google data center is sending results, a site can rank in various perspectives for the same search.

Search on Google for "house", and see if whitehouse.gov (PR10) comes to the top of the list.Quote:

And none of those things has much, if anything at all, to do with PR. None of them will give you PR and PR will give you none of them.Quote:

According to this thread there is no such thing as PR. If I take it as true then also the relevancy of Traffic is there too. If you are linked to such a site which has a good traffic then the chances of getting a good traffic for your site is also increased.
And one of my sites jumped to PR4. Three cheers for The Old Sarge who patiently explained his technique of SEO!Quote:

C0ldf1re,
What was the PR before the update?
How so?Quote:

PageRank is a system that helps Google to organize its search result pages. It used to be the heart of Google's ranking algorithms.
Have you ever read what Google itself has said about PageRank?Quote:

Not necessarily. Sites often increase their PR without making a single change ... of any sort.Quote:

I think we can't just look at pr, it is an important but not the most important.
No, there isn't.Quote:

It is very alkaline but if you search for anything on google you will determine that pages with mellower PR list higher than pages with lower PR. So much so that even pages that hardly have any mention of the search terms, if their PR is high enough, will still excel lower PR pages that are solely about the search term.
That may be true of some very specific or limited searches and or keywrods, but I assure you, it is not the case with the vast majority of SERPs.Quote:

but the chances of two websites having similar backlink profiles is very small. concentrate on quality content and the rankings will come...
No consideration for differences in on-page SEO?Quote:

Try it yourself with a few keywords and phrases and run the sites that you get on page one of SERPs through a good PageRank tool and see for yourself.
actually since your argument is regarding PR then the original comment stands.... page rank factors include on-page seo. go read a little about page rank on the wiki.
I actually pulled that from one of the better SEO firms website here in oz. I think the most ridiculous point to that is the 'similar backlink profiles' - the chances of 2 websites having similar backlink profiles is tiny given the monumental amount of variables to take into consideration...
but yes on page seo, interlinking, quality content etc should be a focus.
No offence, but I'd rather read what Google, the inventor and owner of PageRank, has to say about PageRank.Quote:

Thank you.
Great discussion and never ending also...
But I personally believe that PR is important but it is not connected with fluctuation in SERP.
I agree with you. Importance PageRank is almost a myth used to sell backlinks. The real focus should be on creating quality content.
Getting high page rank in Google means an improvement has occurred in the website and as a result there will be a large amount of traffic in the website too.
The thing that I know a PR can bring as a form of change to a web based site is the fact that more traffic will be coming in.
Obtaining a page rank in Google is the sign that your website has improved, which will result in great inflow of traffic to your site.
