I've been thinking a lot about Google lately. I think PR is highly over rated. It only has relevancy because we give it relevance. If we all decided it didn't matter to us we wouldn't be in the position where the slightest flick of the Google tail causes high anxiety. Why do we put so much into Google anyway. There are other ways of getting traffic. A listing on a SE shouldn't be our only traffic source, no wonder we go into fits over listings.

just my two cents

I couldn't agree more.

Problem is, there are too many out there that do give it relevance. Try exchanging links with someone, and they require that you have a PR of 4 or more. It doesn't matter the amount of traffic you have to your site, if the PR isn't to their liking, you are not going to get a link.

I don't like playing the google game, I find it quite sickening to be honest, but sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do sad

I totally agree with you Gypsy! Sometimes I see a site I really like and it appears to have a ton of visitors but it has 0 PR or a very low PR, and
I have to think that they have all these surfers because they are offering what people want, not because some SE has a hiccup that raises or lowers a listing. If more webmasters paid attention to giving their visitors quality they wouldn't have to be concerned about PR.

PageRank is a numeric value that represents the importance of a page on the Internet. Google figures when page links to another page, it is actually a vote for the other. The more votes that are cast for a page, the next most important being. Hence the importance of the page that is casting the vote determines the importance of the vote itself is. Google calculates a page's importance from the votes for him. How important each vote is taken into account when a page PageRank is calculated.

I love it when I come across other people that are not PR obsessed. I wonder when people will realize that it's how your websites are doing in the search engine results pages that matters not the PR
