Google and PR
 

I apparently do not understand Google and PR. The top ten sites for webmaster resources on google have a PR0. How can that be if PR has any meaning at all?

I have researched some info that says that a high PR on Google means little as far as receiving traffic and that one can receive far more traffic from reciprocal link exchanges than one will ever receive from a search engine.

Anyone care to offer input?

:sleep

It could be that the pr hasn't updated on the toolbar yet

PR doesnt always effect the sites relevantcy to the search. there maybe a site thats more relevant content wise, but doesnt have the other qualities that would make it a high pr.

PR is but a small part of the equation.
too many people put way too much emphasis on it ..
its very possible to have a good listing for a great keyword with low PR

Is it a PR0 or is the bar totally grey? Alot of peoples toolbars just aren't working today and everything's coming up grey.

:(

this thread have a PR of 1 :)

Sort of, well not exactly :thumbsup

I just now checked and they are gray...and one of them that was gray now has a PR8.

Checked again and they are all gray except for the one. I think I will just continue on building my site without concerning myself about PR. The site that I am currently working on has a PR0 (not gray) but I only submitted it about a month ago...and I have two other of my sites linked to it...but niether are relevant to the current site (one of them has a PR3 and the other has a PR2). I assume that as I progress with the site...a PR will occur...or maybe not. It is my understanding that some sites gain a PR by longevity alone.

Im in 4 th position for search terms related to shemale movies and the page has PR0 who gives a fuck about PR:321GFY

Its likely a freshbot spider that grabbed the url which hence hides the true PR and the backlinks.
