I was reading an article and it said that a website was PR2, PR3, PR4, etc. What does that mean?

It means nothing. WebSITES can't have PR.

What you see is based on the number of links pointing to the website's homepage. Just read through this thread for further reference:
http://www.webmaster-talk.com/the-go...important.html

Plus why is this in the SEO Forum? It has nothing to do with SEO, I'd say it belongs in the Google forum.

What a way to throw him off..

PR stands for Pagerank, and it's Google's measure of how well a webpage is doing in regards of how many other webpages are linking to it.

The higher the PR the better, all sites start at PR0. Google is a PR10.

What is also important to note is that it would be better in some cases to get a website which is a higher PR to link you your site rather than a number of PR0 sites linking. Quality over quantity.

Google updates webpage's PR rating every 3 months or so.

That should give you a basic gist of what PR is.

Also I assume it's in the SEO forum, because the OP had the idea that PR was related to SEO which it can be. He didn't know it was related to Google.

Actually the OP had no idea where the post belonged. I found it in the "Website Review" forum, and moved it here. Maybe it should have gone into Google, but it's whatever. This forum is so much more fun.

Yeah this forum is so much more fun, and appropriate for what the OP was concerned about originally.

How do you know if I was throwing him off? He asked if it meant anything and I gave him the most direct response as I could. PR is an unnecessary metric to be chasing after and won't do you much good.

Was I throwing him off? Perhaps. But given the vagueness of his question he could have been asking anything.

That explains it then

. But are you claiming the Google forum isn't just as much fun?
