What does a PR can do for the site? What make it useful for site that had larger Page Ranks than other and How does it help the site for having a link exchange partner with larger PR than yours?

PR indicates the value of quality backlinks a certain site has.

a site that has a PR lets you exchange links with other site more easily than having nothing. Unranked. (its only for those people that is obsessed with PR)

the larger the PR, the better (especially for those greedy ones.)

lastly, PR is not important - by hamesy... ^_^

Nope TOOLBAR PR shows a inaccurate approximation of the PR that your backlinks have . "Quality" doesn't come into it

so to answer these;

So what exactly composes a PR and What mostly does a PR do for the site?

PR of Links and Nothing

Because some people made PR Green Line synonymous with moneymaking opportunities
like Klondike Gold Rush, Forex Trade or Stock Market we now pay the price

If you are asking if TBPR in general is Google vote for your site quality or content,
then it’s definitely not the case.

TBPR is Google’s unsuccessful attempt to show to the public your site popularity based on
backlinks but because it proved to be disastrous experiment, TBPR became totally useless.

So your saying most people who aims for those with higher PR sites are site that much interest money in which their is a probability that it can produce money by trading that PR sites! So that means the higher the PR the better right, it can give your site another type of business deal which you could produce money....but some say that it has nothing to do with the site or it isn't worth nothing!!!..

Only if you have idiots who buy links based on a inaccurate, out of date, useless "metric"

As above

And of course given that Google will reduce the toolbar PR shown for sites/pages selling links, it becomes a self defeating operation..

I suppose it's understandable that you don't get the futility of chasing toolbar PR, seeing as the tvaddicts/dvdavenue bunch seem to have built their entire business model around begging links based on PR.
Link "building" is the hardest way to build search engine results and maybe it's about time some of you learnt this, and instead of joining every forum you can find then sig spamming and link begging, you might find a way to do something useful.
Unless of course it's just "outsourced" link begging.

Same reason used car salesmen do just about anything.

Hi there

I also find that kinda strange, i have seen link partners saying to link to me ur site must have a pr of 3 blah blah or people selling high pr links on the premise of pr only, they must know pr means nothing surely ? or does the fact they make these statements mean otherwise ? or are they simply assuming that a higher pr must mean a better quality of link, even if they know its useless ?

Not somthing im gonna stay awake worrying about, but still a few questions i ask myself lol !

Well, why do people buy bottled water when it comes out of the tap water system? Evian spelled backwards is naive.

The more PR a page has, the more link love it has to spread around. The more links a page sends out, the less love each of them gets. Why people look at that first number and not the second, I don't know. Plus, a link can be "disabled" by marking it rel="nofollow" and people put some amount of energy into that one. There are a bazillion things that influence the SEO power of a link. PR seems to be the one everybody can look up and feel smart.

Fo realz. If you look at your PR for different pages (it's not SiteRank) I bet you'll find the ones that show the least PR get the most traffic. All blogs work that way. You make a new post, it doesn't get assigned PR until the next update, but it gets traffic until then. That should dispel any ideas of PR being important.

But because it's this one handy number people can look up and feel really smart, those people have turned it into a commodity. Sort of like how stock is worth more when it's value rating goes up, if people are selling links to manipulate PageRank, buying links from pages with high PR and no outbound links, with particular anchor text, and all the other factors aligned, can be beneficial if Google doesn't catch and punish a person for that.

Most of the sites having good PR pages, I have come across, are using the same for commercial purpose. I dont think one can blame them as long as this PR fever exists. Only people who know about LINKS know that PR has no meaning. But to others it is on the other way around. Relevant links a very important irrespective of their PR , to achieve SERP.
