Exactly! I have people who got already 15 000 daily visitors with hundereds daily sales... but they still ask me "My Pagerank is still 3. Could you please help me to increase PR?".
I am like... " Why?"
Too many crappy SEO experts are talking about importance of PageRank and Meta Keywords....

I guess when it comes from idiots, we have to take it as a complement

Yeah as a complement.
Who gives a damn about PR then? I might as well just start my own frigging directory. Seeing as a link from your site is just as valuable as a link from DMOZ.

A well promoted and well SEOed directory is a good indication that it will stay for long. After all, directory inclusion should also be considered as a long term investment for your sites

I've been glancing through these posts, so if this has been addressed, sorry.
From the little I do understand about SEO has told me that Google Page Rank is nothing more than "guage", so to speak, of the sites that link back to.
Am I correct?
And, I just have to comment on the whole directory thing.
fastreplies.... I've had my site listed on your directory for quite some time now. I can not recall ever seeing it listed as a backlink, at least in Google.
Now I'm not complaining to you about it. I'm just leading into my question of "Are directories even worth the trouble?"
With as many directories as I have submitted to, I would think that at more would show up when I search for backlinks. Maybe 1 or 2. As a matter of fact, I don't think DMOZ even shows up. The majority of ones that do come up are niche directories.
It doesn't really make sense. I have back-links from a spam-over-ridden forum for a free html editor that doesn't even exist anymore, yet NONE from HIGH PR sites and directories.
What gives?

Don't waste your time with Directories. Fastreplies knows crap and it takes a retarded monkey to do SEO. I don't even know why people pay for it when all it takes is a couple of minutes to optimize a site and get strong high PR backlinks.
I've done SEO for different sites and the webmasters have been very happy with the work and they've payed me a lot only to get good results days after I'm done with the work.
Go and as a real webmaster about submitting to directories, go see if John Chow spends his day submitting to directories.

well, having a list of free dirs is a good start, but most of them are worthless, so your time is wasted ... you need a list of dirs that's not just free, but also SEO-friendly, pages indexed in google is a very important factor !!

PR is not important to google itself when it comes to serps, so why should it be to anyone else? Directories do provide some benefit, some more than others. Dmoz is OK if you can get in, but if not it's not the end of the world. Good quality links using keyword anchortext to you site from any related source will improve you serps, as well as on page optimisation.

He's not into SEO. Why would he opt for submittig to directories, nonetheless opt fro SEO when he is banned in Google?

Yeah and look at the amount of traffic he gets... without SEO which proves that submitting to directories is not a "MUST" when doing SEO to your site.
The only good thing that I see from submitting to directories is the fact that you'll get a bot to crawl your site... other than that I'm not gonna waste my time for a no PR link.

He got banned initially for link buying that is very manipulative of PR and SERP. He gets enormous traffic now coz of his popularity.
If you have a new site and skip directory submission, you'd be missing out the very basic steps of building backlinks. Directory links for one, increases the crawl rate of a new site - which is very helpful in opting for SERP placement.

Blog commenting will do the same job as a directory and with blog commenting you'll actually be posting in a high ranking page.

Blog commenting is more valuable than a directory, the link is from a relevant page with relevant content, whereas a directory is just a list of links.
Google frowns upon links from pages with loads of links on them.
Despite this, directory links are worth having, if your anchor text and descriptions vary (again, Google will see it as spam if you have 100000 identical submissions)
Page rank isn't as important as some people think, it's the CONTENT of a page that deems the value of the link, not the page rank. The page rank just shows how many links go into that site, among other things.
