It just gives you a headache. It seems to me that thinking about page rank is similar to thinking about infinity. It just gives you a headache.

Of course Google are now going to be taken web site peformance into consideration for page ranking and have introduced performance metrics into their webmaster / seo tool. So if you site performance poorly your page ranking may decrease... Some interesting points.

We can see here that even if PR is not the only thing you have to worry about, it still determines how often and how deep google crawl your website for updates, which is important if you update your content often.

It's not the be all and end all but it gives you a quick visual indication of the site's importance and further research can confirm or deny this (usually confirm in my experience). If you don't think it makes any sense to you then get rid of it from your toolbar! (But I bet everyone will keep it there) If a large company with tech related products has no PageRank then, to me, that’s a really bad sign.

That is, how many hat racks does SERP #1 Position #1 sell compared to SERP #1 Position #2? It all has nothing to do with PR. Organize-It has position #1 for hatracks and #2 for hat racks. The next players are NexTag and Amazon. I'm guessing Amazon sells more hat racks then Organize-It. Then, we ask, how much $ does each of them spend to get this position? In other terms, how much more are YOU PAYING for your trusty ol' hat rack because of this position? Personally, I've been finding the "deals" from companies on SERPS anywhere from 27 on ...". I save money, big time! So much for PR and SEO, hey!?! Everyone likes to speak hits and wow me with your visitors. How much is each visitor worth to you? How much is each hit worth to you? For example, a dude who stops at a convenience store each day to and from work may be worth $3600 a year to the convenience store operator. Multiple that by a 1000 dudes (or dudettes) a day. That's a lotta buckaroos with a ZERO PR, hey!?! With a ZERO SEO, hey, hey!?! Same with the LIBRARY SEARCH ENGINE. Now, we gotta train Google and such how to benefit the People. Thus far, Google has benefited Google. They got the billions. Do you!?! Taking Woody’s “hat racks” or “hatracks” example the biggest number remains “unknown”.

My page rank zoomed to 4 when I first started my site. 9 months later when hits have rocketed by 1200%, we are above benchmark figures by far and in top place on Google itself for all major keywords, Google decides to put the PR down to 3. Additionally I think Google analytics are rubbish compared to Alexa. According to Google my site gets 50% brazilian hits, 25% US and 12.5% UK. With Alexa it is 37% US, 32% UK and 17.5% Brazilian- a much more likely scenario. I am no longer bothered. A very useful article.

It does only make sence in the way you have incoming links. This incoming link issue des not really have anything to do with search engine rankings or traffic on the specific page either nd it does only apply to marketing companies that provide linking to related websites. There is no reason to run after PageRank levels if you not provide others with links, in that case its only to make money for link portals and does not have anything to do with business websites or useful websites for common website usage...
