Hello Everybody. As SEO which you better prefer for a website, to achieved page rank or web traffic. Page rank is for your link popularity and backlinks. While Web Traffic is for sales or sign up for the website. Do you agree?

in my opinion , seo is made for getting more traffic . link popularity and backlinks are variables for getting more traffic

Traffic is more important. since more traffic means more clients and that equates to more profit.

PR is just for link popularity, for link exchanges purposes. and we do simply because we want to gain more traffic

Neither!

You need qualified traffic for good conversion.

traffic for traffics sake is marginally more useful than PR, but it is still wasted effort.
Unqualified traffic simply wastes bandwidth and server resources for little gain

And people wonder if SEO is doomed!

I'd agree with Chris. Traffic is better only because traffic represents a closer step the end goal of SEO...to drive targeted people to your site. PageRank is just a step in the traffic direction.

Mind you, if you're worried about those two issues the way you've laid them out, you won't end up with much in terms of either. PageRank and traffic flow more nicely when grown organically than they do when one attempts to inject the anabolic steroids of link exchanges, traffic schemes, banner exchanges, affiliate links, co-op schemes, backlinks for the sheer sake of backlinks, etc. and so on.

Thanks for the info. It is better to consider both, pagerank and a traffic.

**ADAM Web Design** · 02-20-2007, 11:33 AM

From what Chris and I said, how did you extract THAT answer?

**sabin** · 02-21-2007, 01:21 AM

Thats like saying "what is better, dead mice or lots of mousetraps around your house".

Whats the point of PR if you already have the traffic. If your asking what is better for search engine placement, then pr beats traffic, but only because engines don't count traffic. PR is an ends, not a means.

I think link popularity or backlinks can be a source of traffic. We get page rank by some factors like number of quality backlinks and rich contents. Then if we have more backlinks we can get more traffic that can be convert into sales.

**solidghost** · 02-21-2007, 05:00 AM

If you are a directory selling links, then perhaps PR could be a better option.
I mean of course traffic will be the best, but getting targetted target will be difficult. You need content, good quality content.

**SeLFiE_12** · 02-21-2007, 07:46 AM

Quality traffic...PR is not that important nowadays though it is one of the factors that other webmaster consider when linking to you but generally quality traffic is the one which will bring you a lot profit...

ya your right! but if asking which is prefer, for me a choice the PR rank because you get a stable pr for site thats the time that you can get a tons of traffic. although it both important for the web site...

I think Pagerank is crap and is never used in Google search engine pages. Its only useful when u're trying to sell links in your site. Otherwise, forget it. And, as ADAM said, Quality traffic is what matters.

Quality traffic is the traffic which brings conversions. Ordinary traffic which you may get from Myspace and all aren't that important. But, it can help raise your Alexa rankings a bit.

I agree that there is a correlation between PR and Traffics.
I would say the most different think between them is:

PR is the target and traffic is the result.

Target is something we can achieved.
Result is something that we could only wait and see.

PR has absolutely zero effect on traffic.
