I was reading blog posts about google page rank today and I saw a blog title that caught my attention. The title was “Google PageRank: It means nothing!”. The blogger’s reason for saying this was that a member of a forum mentioned that while his page rank dropped from 5 to 0, his traffic had seen an increase and not a decrease. You can see the whole forum discussion here. It’s a very interesting discussion and I do recommend that you take a chance to read over it. Decide for yourself if you still think you need to depend on page rank to know where your site stands on the internet.
Personally, I also feel that page rank is slightly insignificant. I haven’t been active with my blog and my page rank has been through many changes. I checked my page rank while I was away from wordpress and saw it go from 5 to 0 and to, at the time of this post, 3. Comparing this to my web stats, the number of site visitors that I had was related to the page rank I had. The only exception is that when my page rank was 0, I did have a constant flow of visitors daily close to what I have at the time of this post. I will probably still continue to check my page rank and try to raise it now that I am active again.
But see for yourself how much your page rank actually reflects your site performance. Compare your change in page rank to your change in traffic, customers, etc.
