I agree with you for some extent john, and in my point of view i regard, Yes ! Google page rank is more important than Alexa, coz the main traffic generated for a new blog or any it would be from Search engines mainly from google to say, coz i had a blog and new, and got some amount of traffic and after a couple a months of SEO i got a PR of 3 and tripled by traffic to my blog.

And its not that i dont agree with John, but in the case of SEO PR does matter :)

at the end of the day, all that matters is quality traffic from search engines, and I am not too sure that PageRank that we see really has anything at all to do with it.

I think page rank can be big factor for google to rank website in the case of the same number of quality backlink received from 2 websites. If that happen, i believe google will use the page rank to rank.

hi,
I think i can never understand google pagerank. My site's rank dropped from 2 to 1, i can't understand why ? Traffic to site increases,backlinks increases but pagerank dropped. I checked some other sites(rival sites) and some of them get higher pagerank apart from the fact that they have less traffic and backlinks.
I can only say, that good pagerank can get you good advertising offers and good google search engine positions. :roll:

Lots of funny comments on Page Rank. Gosh I took BOTH toolbars off my browser...BOTH Alexa and Google as I found them too distracting.

Great article Jerry. I would "love" to be a fly on the wall when you stat asking your "Why" questions. I bet most don't get answered (or is that heard...herd as in Cow?)

This is a great article!

I have a PR4 blog and my Alexa is at 132K. When my Alexa goes below 100K I am going to start taking on some advertising but don't want to lose my PR. Any suggestions?

Are there any other metrics other than Google PR, Compete and Alexa that I can use to assure advertisers of the value of my blog? That's really the only thing Alexa is good for anyway, assuring potential advertisers.

People that say PageRank is nothing always bug me... It IS something. Most advertisers look at a sites PR before anything else.
People that say PR is nothing usually have a bad one and are just ticked off.

If I were you I wouldn't worry too much about page rank. Google is not everything. Just worry about writing good content for your blog and interact with people in social networks and then everything else will come to you.

Your opinion goes the same with me....

Google PR or Alexa TR are not important, just focus on our readers... - Readers doesn't care about PR or TR, all their care is content, that's is the answer.

Jerry,

This is a fine post.

30% of my websites are also experiencing a drop in PageRank. Not a big deal, though, as long as my Alexa numbers keep smaller and smaller, and my SEOMoz' Trifecta keep showing increases.

Cheers!

Great article. I really don't look at pagerank anymore. Don't think it matters that much. Traffic is what it is all about. So, don't waste too much time on that. Create content and work on getting those listings.

I dont concern myself too much with Pagerank and Alexa. In fact, I dont give a shit about either, however advertisers do. And in this world of trying to make money blogging, a PR of 0 is going to attract no advertisers compared to a PR of 5. Advertisers also consider Alexa too.

PR Shme Are, another great Google innovation to maintain a class structure based on the Good (7-10PR) and the ugly (1-5PR). PR is important for search results as in your site will get listed higher in Google SR (Search Results) with a big banging PR. All the other search engines couldn't give a twig's bark about PR. One basic thing PR does is place a value (although bias) for link back marketers to expect payment for linking to their high PR sites. If PR was Christmas I'd be the Scrooge McDuck character and stand in the cyber street yelling Bah Humbug to the people.

@Will - You're exactly right about Google limiting the PR passed around in certain niches. I remember last year that Matt Cutts said the SEO niche was being devalued. I'm almost certain this time the "Make Money Online" and "Affiliate Marketing" niches were affected.

Google has said that sometimes your toolbar PR goes down simply because there's only so much PR that can be passed around in a given niche. When you're building links, you should look at the toolbar PR of the page you want a link on only after you've considered more important factors, like the age of the domain, the quality of it's backlinks etc.

Some people believe the main reason that toolbar PR was created was to keep people trapped in a rat race while Google collects info on all the sites you are visiting.

Fantastic article. I personally don't hold much value for the toolbar pagerank but it's nice to see that little green bar go up. Unfortunately, this update was more of a downgrade for the majority of webmasters. It seems most hard hit were people with PR4 sites. I noticed the majority of people saying their PR went down, went down from a PR4 to whatever. I also heard somebody say that maybe Google is doing this little dog and pony show because next update they will be more generous (as they were with the Q2 update) to keep people happy.
