If Pr is made up from numbers of quality backlinks, why do some people say it doesn't matter?

Surely this is an indication to backlink number/quality and ultimately determining the overall SE position.

PR may be the rank of the site that has a higher authority on the web...

The only one thing that matters is being on that first page of google and being the one that is being clicked, that is serps.

Some people will say it don't matter or it don't matter as much because these people tent to prefer traffic / visitors more than pagerank. Some sites have fairly high pagerank. It's possible to have a pr0-pr3 that receives much more traffic than a pr4-pr5. So many of these folks will say they don't care about the rank, they will take the traffic any day.

A Google exec. said not too long ago, that people overhype PageRank. Now, I am a bit confused, if people overhype it then how come the higher the PR of the site you backlink to, the more your results improve. Remember PR is only a prestigious recognition, it does not guarantee anything, so the more the prestige a site has the more the crawlers rank it and the more people want to link to it. Ranking obviously does not guarantee visitors but it increases the possibilities of higher traffic and your stature in the online world.

I think PR is also a important factor to a website

Page Rank can be acquired through massive promotions, it does not mean that if a website has an impressive PR the site is reputable. In fact, there are websites which don’t have page rank but are gaining profitable income compared to those with high page rank sites.

I agree with you, some high PR site gain low income than low PR site.

I don't know what really is the importance of PR but what I have learned in my experiences in SEO is that PR has nothing to do when it comes to SERP.

**joesmith.aj** · 04-01-2010, 06:38 AM

The visitor to your site from Google's SERP possibly didn't knew anything about PR. Then why much importance for that. The site having PR 0 can be on top of SERP.

**mack123** · 04-01-2010, 06:54 AM

It's obvious thing that if you have such site which has worthy content and stuff for users and peoples are getting info by your site so they will visit it frequently. The traffic determines the PR and PR determines the position of your site in search engines.

Sorry. Wrong on both counts. PR is based solely on links and PR is only one of hundreds of factors that determine where your pages rank in search results.

**freight guy** · 04-04-2010, 06:32 PM

My site have a PR 2 and my site is still under construction, can anyone example why a site with no content but still can get a PR 2

**chrishirst** · 04-04-2010, 06:41 PM

There is some links pointing to it.

**learner52** · 04-06-2010, 01:46 AM

I think PR is important but its not directly related to traffic. A high traffic rank site can have low PR than a low traffic rank site.

**williammurray** · 04-06-2010, 04:12 AM

PR just your site's credibility or importance in Google's eye

**PhpScipts** · 04-08-2010, 07:47 PM

Page Rank is nice it will help determine the profit you can get from ads, and so on fourth, however the importance when it comes to Searching isn't really high at all.
