Google Toolbar PR, how did you do

PR is fairly worthless, but as you say it does help with exchanging or selling links since there are so many people out there that don’t consider the more important metrics (traffic, rankings, etc.)

That said, our PR is up for our sub-pages which is what we have been working on getting links for over the past several months, so at least it is a measure of some sort of success, but we knew that already since our rankings were improving.

Not that it needs to be said again, but…chasing PR alone is a mistake

I do not know if this question by webber is addressed to me?

The case is very simple to make, assuming you have some mathematical knowledge. Nothing known in the Universe can replace links as a way to rank pages.

You know, I always thought PR meant nothing – just because I thought it was a red herring (of a Fiji Mermaid – if you will) put out by Google. All the SEO’s said “get links from high PR pages and you will do well”. I thought F U – original content is king, written in normal non-seo language queen and if you can get 1 real link from a trusted sites NON- RECIPROCAL link page(related or not to your subject matter) is the Ace.
But after this last PR update, my audiobook publishing company’s website jumped up PR and it helped my other sites (that I actually make money with) in site rank, upped the number of hits and in turn the number of new players.

Now lets get caffeine rolling so we see where we stand – and then spend countless hours trying to get back to page 1 on Google, just to have Google say, ” We didn’t like caffeine, we will be reverting back to the old indexes.” Where we will spend more countless hours trying to get back to page 1.

So with my logic – PR does matter now – just because Goggle says it doesn’t.
