		<description>Yeah it's important not to get bogged down with Page Rank, but I'd say it's also true that any site that's integrated into it's link community is likely to have page rank. So if a site doesn't, it's certainly a warning flag, and reasonable to question the value of working for a link from said site.</description>

		<description>This comes really late from the date of the original post, but I find strange that nobody elaborated on the sometimes huge differences between the Alexa rank and the Google Pagerank.

Let me provide an example from websites that have been online since about 1996. They are the three most popular commercial air TV channels in Uruguay (South America), the first one with a .com domain name and the rest with country-level domain names, have these ranks and backlinks in Google:

Channel 12: PR=5, AR=75,058, GBL=413.
Channel 04: PR=6, AR=204,763; GBL=57.
Channel 10: PR=5, AR=147,387, GBL=62.

The numbers support that the amount of backlinks is directly proportional to the popularity of a website, but the curious thing is that the Alexa rank, not Google's, seem to better represent that. For optimum search engine optimization tracking I do register these and other factors, but it seems amazing to have such a big difference in Alexa not showing up in Google.</description>

		<description>Google should take away their Page Rank crap or replace something else. That will turn SEO industry upside down and shuffle. 
For those link selling for money become useless. How nice is that</description>

		<description>PR is definitely not the only thing to consider when looking at a certain webpage. The content and the context are much more relevant than the PR. The better the context, the better the result!</description>

		<description>PR plays a important role in SERP....Higher the PR, better is the site.
But our main aim is to improve our business by improving traffic.
But when a visitor comes to our site the first impression he gets about our site form its Page
 rank of the home page. 
most probably people dont like to visit the website which has pr4 or below</description>
