Does Page Rank Still Matter?
No matter what many SEM experts say, or even what Google employees say, Page Rank is still a very important factor when promoting a web site.
Sure, it may not be as important as obtaining quality links from related sites, but it’s still important.
Google says that Page Rank is only one of about 200 factors that enter into the decision of where to rank a web site. That may be true, but have you ever tried to sell (I didn’t mean that) a link on a site that was a Page Rank 2? Good luck.
The fact is that when a novice or experienced SEO expert looks at your web site, the two things that he or she will see first is Page Rank and Alexa rank. They are both hard to avoid, because they are staring right at you.
We all care about Page Rank. It’s as important as having a good looking date for the prom.
Often, it’s the first impression that counts.
