Benefits of page rank

This concept of PR is pretty much futile save for the fact that it gives webmasters a temporary, fuzzy feeling of how greatly their website is liked by Big G :)
Unless you are planning to sell either backlinks or domain, you shouldn't be too losing sleep over it...

I ike that, but the main thing i think is the brand or product validation and the confidence of the customer in reading honest reviews that appear as high as the site address, it is a kudos thing to those who deal with backlinks and keywords. This really in the eyes of a customer means nothing apart from convenience of the top listing but the reviews will be the difference of buying or not.

This is not a dig at any seo service but i think that what it all means is different perspectives are there, a customer is not interested in backlinks or keywords, they are looking to buy, the client to sell and both are happy with the formula if this is the end result, you would never ask a customer if they bought because of seo, they wouldn't have a clue.

All credit to all sales and marketing in all forms, no offence intended.

Very true, but its highly likely (if not definite) that they did because of it or by PPC if the customer has come from an internet search.

To answer the original question about pagerank, its is one of many many things to consider when trying to improve your ranking. However lower PR sites can quite easily out perform higher PR sites in searches and it is certainly not the be all and end all but it does come into play.

It is certainly something to consider when you are link building.

Spot on, together they work brilliantly and as stand alone also effective and i would never try to engage a client to stop seo and replace it as now it has started it has to continue.
Regardless of all of our opinions on this I do believe that the client is in business as they want money yes but they would never have contemplated starting up if they had no belief in their product, i just think that allowing customers to justify belief in the product or service to potential customers is powerful and how the wonderful world of sales and marketing all began......THE PRODUCT

That's not true. PageRank is the method used by google to score all internal and external links to a webpage. It follows that some highly scoring links may have a big influence on the ranking of a website.

Note however that PageRank is secret and should not be confused with the toolbar PR score. And it was named after the inventor Larry Page not the rank of a page.

The whole internal linking setup is very important for PageRank. A well structured site can improve it's ranking just in the quality of the internal links.

In my experience, being linked to from high PageRank sites does help with search ranking/position. Not huge, but not insignificant.

This is because a web page that Google have issued with a toolbar PageRank score is likely to be of an authoritative nature and will subsequently pass authority on to the page it is linking to.

The points made above are that there is no direct connection between a page on your website having a toolbar PageRank score and high rankings. For example: Webpage C won't rank highly purely because it has a visible green toolbar PageRank of 4 - it will rank highly because of the authoritative inbound links pointing to the page, some of which will likely also have PageRank which will have flowed through to your webpage C too.

Kindly tell me that what are the benefits of higher page rank. Does page rank helps in getting good ranking.
As higher pagerank show that how much the website is reputed and hold the quality. And as people always choose the reputed one to deal with so for getting the more people connected with you high pagerank needed.
And when people decided to exchanging or building links then only they see the pagerank of the site first. And so for getting the more backlinks to your site you need for the higher rank for your site.

Pagerank is a small factor taken into account in the SERPS . But you have the more benfits other than the SERP. People like to link to your site if you have the high page rank.So if you got more links , your site will crawl be search engines more often. With the quality links to your site, you can get more visitors & hence more traffic.

Key benefits of a high PR:

Improved search results

Increased Google indexing

Better reputation

More advertisers and/or higher ad rates

Easier to build relationships

You've just shown how you aren't an expert (as your signature states) inside 8 posts on the forum.

How do you feel a high PageRank improves your search results (whatever that means)?

Increased Google indexing
Really? How does an artificial and arbitrary number increase indexing? Surely the page must already be in the index to be allocated a google toolbar PR score

Pagerank is mostly calculated by the number of links back to your site. Also it measures a website's reputation on the web.
Wrong and wrong. Five minutes research would have told you exactly what PageRank and PR are.

I really don't get to sidetracked by high page rank these days.

I'd rather get a guest post on a decent, relevant PR 0 *real* blog with a sensible backlink profile, than some crappy PR4 page with 500 spam comments. (I'm not saying that such backlinks don't work initially).

Also, taking directories as an example. There is a lot more to look into than just the home page PR. Loads of directories got wacked by Google not so long ago and I'm not convinced all of them pass decent link juice. Certainly there are several decent directories that are very beneficial, but you need to do your own homework to find them!

I think They are two different thing in SEO.Page rank is the score level to test by google.If your post some fresh and original content in your page.and there are more people would like read and enjoy, so google will consider your page is very valuable and give you a high pr score.I heard that the webmaster who write only one popular blog post who get a pr3 value by google.

For the SERP, it is decided by high quality backlinks from other high pr website.The more qualiuty backlinks you get,the higher SERP you will get in google.
But the high page rank of your own site is not effective to improve SERP for yourself. Only if you get the high quality backlink from other high pr sites which is helpful to you.
Of course, if you want to rank higher in some Country.You can try to get more backlinks from the sites in that Country.

It appears that this thread is now dedicated to posting garbage but with an authoritative tone.

All I can hope is my competitors follow the latest advice given thereby wasting their time and energy of futile activities.

What can of worms?

PageRank is a ranking signal. Toolbar page rank (PR) isn't.

The folks over at SEOmoz have done some extensive statistical testing which demonstrated, over thousands of examples, only a weak correlation between toolbar PageRank (TBPR) and rankings.

The correlation was about 11% which means that there is only a very weak tendency for pages with higher TBPR to appear higher in the search engine results pages.

It does not mean that TBPR is an entirely useless indicator but other factors such as relevancy may play a bigger part.

If you are talking about Page Rank then i would like to tel you that if your site have Unique and Fresh Content and if your Site have Good Design then people will stick to your Website and also Prefer your site for getting Information, it simply means that your site is valuable for all people and for this reason Google give Good Rank to your site.
And its not about Page Rank, People search in Google with Proper Keyword and if that Content match with Your Keywords and Title then Google will display your site in high Rank.
