Thanks for stopping by, Zemmed. Even Google is wondering about how their page rank has changed how people have been trying to do what they do with their SEO efforts. I’d much better working on organic traffic than worrying about PR, although it is a great thing to pitch to potential advertisers.

NB is right! There is small relation between your PR and results in SERPS. If you would like rank high in serps then you must have backlinks with a related anchor text and you will outrank all competitors even with page rank 2 or lower. Good luck with further blogging.

Hi NB,

First, just so you know, unless I know a name for people I go in and change their names to initials until I do.

Second, you’re right about PR. Too many people really are trying to kill themselves for that next bit of ranking, when really it all comes down to their content and trying to attract visitors. I’d rather have no pagerank (which I do now because of advertising) but tons of visitors. PR isn’t indicative of visitors, only how well one might have optimized their site.

Thanks for sharing.

Mitch you’re right sculpting isn’t work because the pagerank points that are meant to go to that nofollow links are lost instead.
So if you have 10 pagerank points and 10 outbound links,5 dofollow and 5 nofollow,only 5 points will be passed to that dofollow links and the rest of 5 will be lost.
However people are worrying too much about pagerank,since it doesn’t help in ranks why bothering? Pagerank will grow over time because its impossible to don’t have a high pagerank when you provide useful content,others will link to you.

Hi Mitch,
Great article,
Thanks for sharing information about this controversial topic DoFollow blogs and allowing comments here.

I don’t worry about any of those things, Kristine, since I check every link and comment that comes in, and Askimet catches the rest of it. Matt Cutts has even said that trying to sculpt a site for PR doesn’t work anyway.

Great article, i believe nofollow links are needed. They can keep a lot of unwanted and non-organic links out

The john chow route has worked for me. I have increased PR on a few of my other sites. I think you should make your blog a “dofollow”

Jose, the quick answer is “no”. Page rank just basically tells what other websites think of your site; that’s pretty much it. SERPS are affected more by how you’ve optimized your site.

I like your post. I just still don’t understand a lot : Does Pagerank really affected SERP. For most people pagerang is important if they want to monetize their blog…
Really a nice post…..

Thanks Trini; glad you enjoyed the post. I think any time one sees progress related to something they have, or something they’re doing, it’s always a good thing. Of course, you didn’t take advantage of the commentluv you could have gotten with a blog post.

I’d still find a way. I started my blog not having a damn clue what SEO or pagerank or any of that stuff meant. I started my blog just because it was something I became interested in and truly wanted to share.

I don’t make as much money from my blog as I make with the sites I talk about on my blog, so I’d still keep blogging.

As for PR, I just raised from a 0 to a 2 and even though I’ve read everywhere that PR doesn’t matter, I have to say it still feels good.

Why?

I don’t know. It just does.

But I do agree that SERP is more important than PR.

Great post! I learned alot
