Any Benefit to high PR?

[Cantufind]

I've been interested to read the forums the importance directory owners play on PR rating, with the general consensus that the higher the PR the better the directory? Is this necessarily true? Does it mean you get listed higher in the search engines under the keyword 'directories'?

What is the benefit to having a high PR in the real world outside that of directory owners and forums like this. Does PR benefit a directoreis position in Google, Yahoo or MSN, and are you likely to find them any easier?

I don't know but if I ever get one I would like to pass it on to the listings in my directory and also page strength.

High PR is an indication that you have spent a lot of time promoting it. You dont see PR0 directories charging $50 per submission do you? There is a good reason high PR directories charge $50...

Thanks for the answer, but without meaning to be rude that wasnt the question, I wanted to establish if having a high PR improves your chances of getting listed and found in the search engines.

When a site wants to be seen they must hook to a site with strong content, SERP is what you should be interested in submitting to not pr.......If i had a pr 9 you would want to submit to me, but pr strength is $.

Strength in category, and keywords wich is the definition of a directory is SERP ... so these directories that think there pr, is the answer to the strongest link ..... not to be rude .

Ill stick with being # Serp and we will see whos the popular directory.

Your not being rude at all, a touch sarcastic but I can live with that. Answering the question would be good, I asked about PR and if it helped get you listed in search engines higher?

Definition of Serps'

Courtesy of Webopedia

Short for search engine results page, the Web page that a search engine returns with the results of its search. The major search engines typically display three kinds of listings on their SERPs. Listings that have been indexed by the search engine’s spider, listings that have been indexed into the search engine’s directory by a human, and listings that are paid to be listed by the search engine.

So to repeat my question only making it simpler, 'Does a directory with a high PR necessarily mean it will get ranked higher in a search engine just because it has a high PR?'

Im #1 SERP in local and regional directory in every search enguine, and #1 in numoris key words in this category.

My main rule was submitting top serp sites in the categories i wanted to be in.
Ive never once left this category or had anyone take it from me in a yr. and my directory is only 1 yr and 4 mo. old.
The way i see it is im powering my content through the highest powered sites. ITs been working for me, and ive taken these so called stongest links out of there position.

And to answer your question im a pr 4 with top position in many categories..... there are many pr9s below me.... I hope i helped alittle

That's great news, what's the name of your directory and if so whats the url so I can test where you fit into the schema of my question, that being;

"Does high PR mean you get listed higher in the search engines under the keyword 'directories?" Are you saying you are ranking number one or anywhere near that when you search for directories? Or to widen the question, do you get listed in at #1 with even the keyword 'directory' in your tag and if so can I see?

Now that wasnt' difficult was it and well done on getting a great SERP for a keyword that contains something relevant to directory, the use of it in the title helps for sure.

It starts to answer the question don't you think as to whether PR counts for anything though? You type in 'search directories' and rule of thumb only one or two come up in any position strenghtening the point that PR in directories counts for absolutely little perhaps? One example though if Im honest isnt enough to go on.

Good luck though.

I believe the bot will pick up serp pos., and rank you page for the importance.. than its a waiting game to get TRUE pr ratings without trying to speed up the system.

From my experience spiders will pick you up on more on your 'description relevance' not so much page importance, my reasoning behind this is your 'page content' is identical to thousands of directories but your use of the descriptive tag in your title isnt' and that's what's giving you good serp. Either way its great to see.

Higher PR will get you better results in the SERPS yes...
When my site was a PR1 I got very little hits, when it was PR3 I got a hell of a lot more, and now with PR5 I get far more than I did with a PR3. Needless to say I will not be stopping promotion anytime soon

Where's the evidence of this, I checked as hard as I could to establish this before I asked the question, I couldn't see any. One person has come up with some solid evidence that he could get a site in a good position and I just figured out how he did it and it was nothing to do with PR.

[pctec]

My evidence was in the control panel and sales on my site... I dont require independant proof. LOL

Huh? If you reckon that your serps improved as a result of your PR increasing whats the problem with showing where you place in the engines so people can evaluate. Keep promoting though, always a good way to go.

Being top serp position is more than just traffic....it also helps your submitted sites to be seen, because of the rich content.

The search engine doesnt just roll the dice, and you hit lucky 7 and they put you #1. Your site pushes up , because in that content you are the strongest.

sometimes i get upset because im never in the strongest links, and my site is proven to be a amazing high serp site, but atleast i know the power of my content.

everybody puts up all these directory list of the strongest links for the rt. $ you can get on or you can just submit and get on .... they dont require alot.

Try getting on the strongestlinks with out paying thats very hard to do, but they understood how important my serps were and put me on.

I believe that pr is important, but i also believe when building a good directory ......

1st focus high position-popularity and traffic will follow- try to focus on being on the first 3 pages in the search before moving on.

2d pr . will auto come buy submitting as many relative links as posible..

3d when you built your site you have key words that must relate on every submission through... title....script....

4 Kick it until you reach pr5 with high serp.... than buy your traffic and popularity, and your site will have no choice but to succeed.

No the search engine doesn't roll dice, but neither does it take PR into account either, or so it seems as no-one except you have stepped up to the plate and proved or argued otherwise.

It makes me think that all this PR chasing going on is perhaps a waste of time when it comes to serps?

Thanks alot, and i kinda feel like i had someone that finally understood the keys to a successful directory like i do. I believe in doing things by the book, and having a very powerful directory.....well anyway thanks alot, and hopefully everything goes GREAT 4 you.
