"PR Is Not Important"???

[dezinerite]

I got into SEO exactly this time last year. I believe PR is important, esp. because it gives you an idea of e.g. how many backlinks you've got or how many quality sites are linking to yours, or every other reason that's linked to page ranking.

I hear a lot of people saying "PR is not important" and it's starting to make me sick to my stomach, mainly because I've spent lots of time trying to increase my sites' PR.

So is it true; is PR not important anymore or are people who say stuff like that just big losers (with their "PR - N/A" sites)?

Remember, Google considers the quality AND relevancy of a backlink, Pagerank is only based on purely backlinks and not relevancy.

Hi there

Many webmasters will tell you from experience that other factors besides PageRank, such as keyword density and placement, have taken a larger role in website ranking. No one will argue that PageRank has become irrelevant, but there is significant evidence to suggest that PageRank is not quite as important of a factor in website ranking as it once was.:talk:

This is why low PR web pages can out rank high PR web pages in search results. Worry about SERPs, not Pagerank. However, when you are building backlinks try to achieve links from "high Pagerank" web pages that are "very relevant" to yours.

PR is important because PR is Google's view of the importance of a page

Only a High PR website will get lot of money in this online market so you need to maintain your PR.If your PR is dropped your site value will also be dropped.So according to me PR is more important
