What About Google Page Rank?
It's almost time again for the Google PageRank update. I'm like most many people. If there is a rating system, I want to be at the top.
A lot of people ask me what PageRank is. PageRank is displayed as a whole number between 0 and 10, with the most popular websites having a PR of 10 and the least having zero. These updates are published every three months or so.
There's a lot of discussion about how important PageRank is. Here are a few links to more reading:

Thanks to Kyle for pointing out the Google PageRank Prediction tool where you can see what your PR might be. Interesting! What's the prediction for your site?
I don't always take time or remember to check the PR rating for this site - that's why I put that little PR checker on my right sidebar (near the bottom). And I have to admit that I occasionally look at it to be sure I'm not dropping. The first time www.PurpleWren.com was ranked about six months ago it was a "4" and the rank didn't change last time. According to the predictor, maybe this time it will be higher!
Meanwhile, I try to concentrate on posting interesting content and figure the site will grow - or not.
I can tell by looking at these predictions that IowaBizEvents.com has suffered because of the transition we're going through and AroundDesMoines.com needs some promotion. Not a surprise, but an affirmation.
What do you think? Do you pay attention to these tools and how do they impact your actions?
Google Page Rank is not that Important...

Interesting site will always have visibility in the eyes of search engines. The site primarily for people, and then to Google.

As far I think a good website that contains interesting content, information or beneficial offers for its readers and visitors, automatically gets a good Page Rank.
So a good website with interesting content and information is synonyms to good google page rank.

Page rank depends links. When there are quality links, your page rank will increase by the lever from 1 to 10. Google also has a formula for calculating page rank for each website, however in recent years seems google does not focus on it anymore, so little update Page Rank.

I'm also a SEO service provider. According to my experience, page rank is not much sense to google. Content and users are two decisive factors for success with SEO.

"Well, there are many ways to increase pagerank. One of those ways is article writing." >>> actually, the more back link you have, the higher PR you gain. However, in my point of view, PR is nothing. real traffic is gold.

Two or three years ago, PR is the important factor for web ranking on Google. However, in recent time, PR is no longer important thing. Google prefer website content.
