Google "PR" a load of Crap?

Triple777s asked 3 years ago
Please explain this.

everyone that talks about google and its “pr” ranking, has said that the higher the “PR” ranking you get the better and the higher you get on googles search engine. I have heard this since day one of my internet gambling affiliate adventure.

But as of today…i think its Crap!

I do keyword searches on google and whatever sites it brings up i try to link to. Usually the first page or two worth of sites. but today, i did a keyword search and the highest ranking site had a “pr” of “0”??????? and two pages in, there was a site with a ranking of “5”???????

How could this be? i thought that the higher a ranking that google gave you, the higher placement you got in the search results????

Why would a site with a pr of “0” get first placement on page 1 of a search, when a site with a “5” ranking get listed way back on page 2 in 13th place??????

So in other words, i should really pay no attention to the pr of my site or another site when deciding if i want to link to it or not…

You should link to sites because they add value for your visitors ie ‘here’s another site I think you’ll be interested in…’

i mean, if it really has to do with thier keywords and serps, and what ever else there is out there to judge a site, you really don’t need googles “grade” at all.

Not unless you’re selling links to people who don’t understand how it works.

i see sites that have hardly nothing for content, and the site is only basic stuff with one or two pages, and they are in the first 10 spots of search result.

They’re almost certainly Blackhat sites and they won’t be there for long.

How to get to the top? Build high quality, unique, useful content that other webmasters will want to voluntarily link to. That way, you’ll future-proof your site for when the Search Engines finally work out how best to give the precise results they – and we – desire.
