		<description>PR is not as important as it used to be. As long as you&#039;ve got the traffic, then you&#039;re good to go =) That&#039;s just my opinion anyways.</description>

		<description>PR update posts always generate the most comments. Even though you might not care about PR most people still can&#039;t resist clicking and commenting.</description>

		<description>thanks for all the info there Nate. We&#039;re moving our site from a &#039;generic website&#039; to a WP-based one and I&#039;m really curious to see if there are any major advantages when it comes to natural SEO traffic and PR.</description>

		<description>Can anyone please tell me why PageRank doesn&#039;t help rankings? Page rank is how many backlinks you have and SERPs are dependent on the number of backlinks so if two sites were exactly the same except one had a high page rank and one low, the high one must have more backlinks so will rank better? Or does it have to do with the type of backlink, eg. whether it&#039;s related content and whatnot.

		<description>We increased 1 to a PR5 but this has taken us 8 years. I am definitely going to read your post on preparing for the Page Rank update. 

Anyone know when the next one might be.</description>

		<description>Dammit - dropped from a 5 to a 4. Of course we know it&#039;s all just for ego anyhow, but still... ;)

Rankings have only INCREASED since the drop - further proof PageRank is pretty overhyped.</description>

		<description>Very weird. Normally, I&#039;d see the same results for most of my sites. This time though, one site got &quot;demoted&quot;, while two others - NEWER ones, by the way - got higher rankings. Big G, what are you doing to us?!?</description>

		<description>there are no SEO secrets.... that i would share!  Except try to realize that PR doesn&#039;t matter that much.  The trust rank is what you need to worry about but good luck cracking that egg. The key is to produce HIGH quality content and become an authority in your niche... or just spam like crazy for prescription drug terms!</description>

		<description>If I asked 99% of our clients what &#039;pagerank&#039; is, I would receive a blank stare or a shrug of the shoulders in return.  As mentioned before, it&#039;s useful for selling advertising, but that is it.  There are other functions that are just as effective for selling advertising, but also achieve other things as well.  

I couldn&#039;t even tell you where my pageranks are.  It could just be me though.</description>
