Can't wait for the next PR update. I hope all the SEO work I've done for my sites pays off!

Maybe you can see a new number late of July(My guess).

dvduval · 07-03-2005, 09:07 AM

No, I see no pagerank update...just some SERP changes.

My PRs were updated today. Very happy with the changes. But I've noticed both yahoo and ebay dropped to PR9.

JustAMom · 07-16-2005, 09:48 AM

I was ranting and raving this morning because it seemed as if every site in the world got a PR update except mine, then at exactly, and I kid you not EXACTLY 11:05AM EST I went up from PR3 to PR4. It was actually quite funny. My poor husband who doesn't have a clue what PR means was listening to me go on and on and on and on and on and when I refreshed the page, suddenly there it was.

Good PR shows good SEO work for any website, and yeah I am also happy with my website ranking updates.

Good PR, is not a direct measure of Good SEO. IMHO, PR has lost its importance. I used to find longs threads discussing PR old days, but now just here and there few threads.

Good SEO, means Good ROI.

Dunno about you guys, but all the sites I monitor went back to their 'old' PR just now.

I disagree, please explain why you think this.

I can't speak for Nandini, but I agree with what she is saying. PR (PageRank) can be easily manipulated and faked without any SEO.

For example:
http://pr10.darkseoteam.com/

SEO is only one piece of running a successful website. Because a website can have the best PR, the number 1 position on every SE and exposed to the whole world, but if the site does not do a good job selling their products and/or services then all this is a waste of time, money and energy. Based on many discussions on various forums, many people are focused on PR and not focusing on the content on their site. Good SEO, good content and added value (what makes you stand out from your competition) is a winning combination. High PR and SEO cannot do that alone.

Here is my personal case study with PR, about a year ago I had a PR7 on my main site. I spend hours, days linking, optimizing, the works. After a business evaluation on the time and effort and the additional income I had obtained on the site. I decided to scrap PR building and focus more on traditional marketing tactics. My business tripled in the first 6 months and has not slowed down since then. As of today my main site has a PR of 3 and my backup site (load balancing) has a PR of 1. They both get high traffic and plenty of leads.

To me PR was a handicap and a process I could have done without. Almost every client I have, has no clue what PR is and we are talking about only 1 search engine.

I'll let Nandini explain the rest because she does a good job doing that.

I agree w/ everything you said, imaginemn...and most of what nandini said.

The only people that should be PR obsessed are directory owners.

I just don't understand the "Good SEO = Good ROI" bit.

SEO will get you more traffic but doesn't guarantee more sales.

SEO is just a tool that shold be used within a good well-rounded marketing strategy.
