One of the most highly debated topics on the web is the value of PR (PageRank). One of the most heated arguments is how much influence PR has on your rankings. As the Google Algorithm changes opinions have changed at the actual weight placed on PR and its corolation to helping sites rank.
From what I have seen, experienced and read the importance of PR in ranking has dropped considerably from a few years ago and Googler Matt Cutts has given evidence that PR is one of MANY factors that go into deciding a sites ranking now. There are many factors that help decide ranking besides PR and Rand from SEOMoz put together a pretty intense list of potential ranking factors that I stand behind %100.
Jeremy Zawondy has claimed that PageRank is dead. Many other professional see an overwhelming misplaced importance placed on the TOOLBAR PR and I can see contextual advertising abuse happening all over the web. PageRank has it’s value and the most important thing web users and internet marketers can do is to educate themselves on this value.
An interview with Andy Steggles of SitePRTracker talks with Mike McDonald from WebProNews about the importance of PageRank in relation to the value placed on ranking. I thought this was a pretty educational interview and a good jump off point for lunarpages readers to start digging into this more. If anyone has questions or comments about this I am really excited to hear what you think!
