I like the way Matt Cutts, the head of Google's Webspam team gives detailed explanations and removes all the misconceptions between the SEOs. He has now given a detailed explanation on some of the misconceptions linked to Google's PageRank Algorithm. As more and more users turn into content every day, the quality drops down at huge degree because everyone these days discusses SEO tips even without any authority or influence! So it has become very important to adopt SEO tips only from the sites that give sources for their SEO claims. Recently over the years, Google is filtering such trusted websites based on their PageRank and giving more significance to them and thus sending them more traffic. The PageRank Algorithm has now opened a large series of Link building SEO companies and services. Almost everywhere today newbie bloggers are giving more importance to PageRank then to quality bright content.
PageRank and Alexa Rank Series
Part2: PageRank is Not Important Says Google!
Is PageRank Important?
Yes it is unquestionably essential but not more than the quality content you put pen to paper. You can easily receive thousands of visitors per day with even PR0. I have many associates in my network that are full time bloggers and earning hell lot of money without absolutely having to worry about ranking algorithms such as their PR and Alexa. Because there authority tool is their post frequency. Because the more you write quality, the more you receive traffic. If you are destroying your precious hours in looking for exchanging links and not posting consistently, then you are close to ending your blogging career.
PageRank and Alexa are only and only important when you have both quality content and Traffic. Astonishingly both traffic and content are independent of solely rankings but depend a lot on what you publish.
Advertisers look for four things while buying an ad spot,
Advertisers look for four things while buying an ad spot,
- Readership (Subscribers)
- Traffic
- Alexa
- Only 10% Advertisers look for PageRank. Also Google AdSense looks for just one thing and that is Traffic.
Unless you don’t have quality content, both your high PageRank and Alexa Rank is useless for you, Google and advertisers. With good rankings you are placed higher in search results but with quality content you get lifetime quality organic traffic. I have seen many blogs with even PageRank 6.0 in Buysellads directory yet not even earning a penny because they spent all their great skills on rankings alone and under-estimated the value of bright, quality posts, good content and social shares and as a result of which ended their careers with hopelessness and failed to survive online. My short personal blogging experience only says one thing that if there is anything that matters more, it is Traffic. I say only write quality content. Rankings will automatically follow up. Writing on fresh things that always attract people is what I actually call blogging. In the next post I will teach you the secrets to increase the Alexa Rank of your blog. Cheers.

Thank you. Your comment is valuable!
PageRank gained sites might be having quality contents, but some of the websites might not be having good website traffic, Google knows that, website has original content, but viewers are not satisfied with the contents. So we have to gain attraction of viewers or visitors to get good overall ranking to the website.

Yes Marc I agree with you. After creating a post, you must ask yourself that "Does my content help my users or not?" If it does then you will get good traffic and if not then start working more hard. Simply create quality and unique content so that visitors and search engines should love it.
THe content of the site and many other factor are responsible for the page rank and it is definitely important as to know how much ranking is given to the particular site depending on the content, search and visitors on the site
Harsh I guess you are quite wrong. PageRank doesn't depend on content, but it depends on quality sites linking towards you. when a site which has some authority in the eyes of Google robots links to you, it recommends your site to Google thus making your PR increase but it doesn't depend on content and visitors on site. I hope this will make things clear.
