All I know abour PR is that it seems to give advertisers comfort that my site is not a fly-by-night site and that someone / something else thinks it is at least not the worst of all sites by having a PR of 3.

Does it help in search engine placement? I have no idea.

I just keep writing articles that, while not of the 'shock' value type of articles, provide useful information to my site's visitors. Let the chips (or in this case Google's Page Rank) fall where they may.

We used to have a PR of Zero, then while on vacation last month I received an email from a friend to said my site was all of a sudden ranked as a 3.

Go figure.

It does have a slight effect as PR is part of Google's algo. In such a case where two competing sites for a keyword in the SERP with equal scores - the higher PR site outranks the lower PR site.

Here's what Google says about PR:

PageRank
A Google feature that helps determine the rank of a site in our search results. PageRank relies on the uniquely democratic nature of the web by using its vast link structure as an indicator of an individual page's value. Important, high-quality sites receive a higher PageRank, which Google remembers each time it conducts a search. Google combines PageRank with sophisticated text-matching techniques to find pages that are both important and relevant to your searches.

Well, PR is important to me if I'm searching for a related site with high PR it means the site is quality.

Hi,

Here is my views about PR...

Search engines like Google count links as a vote to the site. Google PageRank (PR) is being used as an indicator of individual page’s value. Site with more back links are considered more valuable then the site with no PR or less PR.

Webmasters always try to get links from high PR pages; in fact many of them are spending heavily to get high PR links.

But does this PageRank is the right tool to measure the actual value of the site?

Google update the Page Rank once in several months (There is no defined time for this update), so it (PR tool) will not display the true value of the sites which has got good number of links during this interval.

PageRank only measures the absolute importance of a page, but doesn’t tell us how much Google trusts a page. Search engines internally label pages as SPAM or not SPAM. Pages labeled as SPAM are not trusted and their links might carry negative weight.

So I believe it is always better to have link from relevant, theme based & trusted sites even if it is of low PR.

PR is made for webmasters to give them a logic how rankings work.
Google is screwing us

The only benefit from PageRank you can get is a spam from bunch loosers who will be asking for a link every day.

[sniperhiga]

I have 3 SEO websites and they used to have Pagerank 6 back in a days. Last year Google moved them to Pagerank 4 and I don't see any problems.
After drop in Pagerank my positions remain the same and grow on a regular basis. I still have a lot of people who apply for my SEO services. Google crawl my sites fast and content appears in Google search right after I publis it.
My conclusion is: The only benefit from Pagerank is a spam from bunch loosers who ask for links.

[C.Whyte]

That, and also you can charge a lot more for selling links on your site lol

And here I thought you were samrter than that.

[zeruel]

There are lots of sites out there with lower PR that outranks sites with Higher PR. Which could possibly mean that PR has a lower weight on SEs...

[jabo]

Good SERP is better than a good PR....

[2mymall]

You all rasied some good and true points. PR has got nothing to do with SERP. Wonder why some lose sleep over it.

Is there some reason you started a whole new thread on this when you already responded to the current topic on this thread?

Merging the threads together ...

This is exactly my point! PR isn't just a Google feature that makes your site looks good in the google tool bar. It has its part in the SERP that we should all be worrying about
