Is there any real benefit to Google Page Rank anymore? Though PageRank isn’t as important as it once was, one benefit of having a PR of 5 and above is that Google does seems to crawl those sites on a more frequent basis.
Google PR is important primarily for in-coming links. The Google PR of the page itself does not have as much influence as it once had to for help in ranking for specific key phrases. However, the PR of an in-coming key word phrase-relevant link does help with ranking for that specific key phrase.
Did you know that Google Page Rank is only one small influence to relevancy? Don’t get obsessed with trying to achieve a high page rank value. Instead focus on building true visibility. Google PR and actual visibility in the rankings are not the same thing.
Did you know that it is possible to rank visibly higher in the search engines with a PR of 5 than it is with a PR of 8? It’s true! Don’t obsesse over Page Rank. Focus on building true relevancy.
