Your site is too pretty to be PR0 anyway! I agree PR is overvalued, but still, it is one nice way to measure something about your effort.

Actually, it's quite easy to get a site to PR3. I did it with very little effort with my older site. Now, both my new sites have PR0 and I don't even sweat it. I'm sure the next update they'll hit PR3 or higher. What I'm more concerned about is traffic. I'll take traffic over PR any day! B.M.

the PR change from 0 to 3 just goes to show you, that you should stick to your beliefs, and keep plugging away at what it is that keeps working for you to get money and traffic. Kudos to you! :) Jack´s last blog post: Sweet and Sour Sausage Spears site: [site]

I can’t really believe this is true, but I’ve read on two different sites that, for PR building purposes, Google doesn’t count any links coming to you from a source lower than PR4

I know this is an older post but having come across it I just had to share this. Two days ago I came across a family’s blog that had two pictures, and a one line caption under each, both posted in August of 2008. That’s it. The About page still had the WP default text. This blog had a PR2! I even took the time to double check it with a fake rank checking tool. My only guess is that they had many links from others who have family blogs.
So I agree that it is best for a blogger to create a site full of quality on topic content and they will get the links, the PR and more importantly the respect of those who visit their blog. You are obviously doing a good job since your PR is now up and I predict it will be 5 or 6 by the end of ’09.

Just get as many links as you can. Aim for the higher PR links first then work down. Remember PR is delayed 3-6 months on the toolbar, so a new blog will not show for some time.

Internal links also count, so build the PR of your site as you go.

PR is really just a number. I say Control the Controlables. Unless you have a uncle who works at Google, you are powerless to control your page rank. So don't worry about it and do something for your blog that you can control. Kevin´s last blog post: The November TPS Report site: [site]

Good on you for not really caring about your PR. People place way too much emphasis on this small little green bar and it's been proven time and time again to not mean that much at all. Phillip´s last blog post: Make Money Online site: [site]

I'm new to blogging and am still learning about PR. I blog for fun, so it will be interesting to see what my PR turns out to be the next time the google folks do their thing that changes the ranks. Just be yourself and have fun! Jerry´s last blog post: Struggling economy site: [site]

true. my pr bumped up recently from n/a to 3, but i wasn't at all happy because for most of the past few weeks, i've been doing poorly on google serps. it's all about the traffic, i feel. most everything else is a far off second. :( kouji´s last blog post: autumn haiku poem site: [site]

The trust is that PR is only a representation of your PAST performance. I have had page ranks drop and increase up to 4 points at a time. It’s nothing you should really worry yourself with because it only updates a few times a year and, as I said, it only shows what your ranking WAS last time it came around. It’s really useless if you ask me.

Hi Lisa

Thanks for stopping by; funny enough, the PageRank did go up – it actually went up to 3 and 4 for some of the internal pages and 2 for the main domain. And yes, almost at the same time my rankings went through the roof for some pretty competitive keywords.

But I would hesitate to attribute that to the PR update – I would rather think it’s due to the fact that I managed to clean up the URL structure and 301 all the old permalinks to more search friendly ones. With the disadvantage that the shiny new PR hasn’t propagated yet to the new URLs yet and probably won’t until the next toolbar PR update.

The dramas we go through for rankings :)
