Is Google Page Rank Really Relevant?

[sujith.it]

I was just wondering that Google might have designed the page rank system based on the premise that higher the links a site has from other sites, higher would be the traffic to that site. However, I see so many sites that are having a very high page rank (since they might be having links from so many other sites) but do not have a very good volume of traffic. Also doesn't this system undermine the importance of good and relevant content on your site? Again I have seen so many sites which do not have a very good content and also might be having wrong grammar in their content, but still those are ranked by google. Please share your thoughts on this.

It is just one of the pieces of the pie. You can have a good PR and still rank poorly. I nice PR is a good ego boost though.

PR isn't anything unless you want it to be...

some sites that are trash have great pr and some sites that are awesome have crap pr

you should be concerend with the content of your site and keeping it new and fresh, the design of your site and the traffic to your site....work on making your site more search engine friendly and placing it up higher on googles search engine list and traffic should start flowing in....after all this is done then pr should start coming as well, but then we never know what google thinks and they are always changing the rules...

PR is something that you don't who is the boss.

Google PR doesn't really matter today in Google search results. But if your site is about link building or focuses on link SEO topic then i think having high PR is a must. You need to prove that your a good link builder/SEO.

PR is a show-off that Googles likes a site, LOLS

Kidding aside, PR has nothing to do with traffic. It is however used in Google's algo in SERP ranking process. As to how much value it has, only Google would know for sure...

Nope. Unless you want to sell your website. The higher the PR is more expensive is your site.

I definitely agree... PR was useful for selling links, but not now! PR is way over blown.

I do not know in which relevance you are talking about. But now webmaster are not giving any importance to the PR and they are working hard to get better SERP only.

Like some many things in website marketing things that were hot caused the search engines to make adjustments... Then these things lose their value.
