Does page rank matter these days?
I hear google’s removed it from te webmaster tools but not the toolbar, and I keep hearing contradictory things about it.

I’m happy to know that my site has a PR of 4 though

And is this theme running on Thesis?

I see the link to Chris Pearson, and mentioning CopyBlogger, but is it built using the thesis framework?

Yes sir! Making sure your website is fully SEO compliant and optimised, writing good content for your visitors and getting great incoming links because of this content is where the secret of success lies. And then some…

Hi Grant

Thanks for taking the time to ask this rather good question. Exactly! PR or Page Rank has virtually no impact on your vertical ranking in the SERPS. PR is given to a website as a “vote” from other websites and this is calculated by Google in this example. It basically means how many good websites out there link to you because they enjoy what YOU offer. For instance, you could have had a website trawling the underbelly of the internet for 2 years as a non-authoritative website never reaching it’s full potential but in the process it may have picked up a few incoming links here and there. Coupled with it’s age of 2 years it could have reached a “default” page rank of 1. This basically still isn’t a great PR but it does show that you have “seeded” the site with some initial content and that it’s not a brand new site.

So yes, although that website still does not rank well, it might rank somewhere believe it or not. Somewhere deep down the dirty gutter of the net for some kind of obscure keyword.

Regards

How does getting a website with a PR1 relate to search engine rankings – as I understand having a PR1 might still not ensure your site ranks at all?

Once again Etienne you have out done yourself. This is an excellent post. Very informative and indepth, but also easy to read and understand

Some of the SEO guys out there assume you know more than you actually do. With you, you really make it easy to understand.

All newbies should be flocking to your blog to get all this great knowledge that you possess
