There's plenty of good data here, though in order to do want to let a person understand something - I am running Redhat with the present beta associated with Chrome, and the actual layout associated with the weblog is kind associated with strange for me. We will understand the actual articles, however navigation doesn't function so well. Great post.

That's what I think because having a great PR but no readers is useless but a site with no PR but awesome content is so much better in every way.

Glad I found you too. :-) I've never been one to pay much attention to pagerank but Gabe's post on it with the tool certainly had me checking it out. I was happy to see that two sites I started within the last 45 days both are at a PR1 already and my main Virtual Assistant site (that I didn't start actively blogging on until probably July) is at at PR3. I am a numbers person so I like to see that I'm making progress though won't get too caught up in it! Nice to meet you via your link/comment on Gabe’s site! Glad I found you too. :-)

I still drool on my toolbar sometimes too, and that is what really got me going on this topic. Google is playing us like a 2 dollar fiddle! Glad to hear the adsense and traffic have increased. Love your blog, just didn't get that adgitize post, way too confusing form a simple guy like me! ;-) That is a great example of why PR really isn’t as important as WE make it out to be.

It is not worth obsessing over. I must admit that I have and still do but I a lot less than I use to. This last update my pr dropped to pr 2 but ironically my google traffic has been increasing nicely as well as my adsense, and that is really what I care about.

I am not an SEO expert but I do follow some. I think it was Dan Thies that said toolbar page rank is old. He said that look at "Cache Dates" when deciding where you want to build links. Aaron Wall has a great post saying that Raw PR does matter,But when determining which site ranks better than the next, link diversity is typically far more important than raw PageRank. PR is only PART of the whole. His post titled 'Is Page rank Important is http://www.seobook.com/learn-seo/is-pagerank-important.php I bet that Aaron would also agree that toolbar PR is not accurate measure as to where you end up in the SERP's. My personal blog has been a front page of 3 forever. I have backlinks from a variety of places. Most of my traffic is from the SE's for long tail keywords. To show that toolbar PR is crazy - we have a new site that has 3 post. It has backlinks from 6 different domains. The highest of those link pages is a toolbar PR 2. When the PR updated...that site is a PR 3. It's only been up 3 weeks. This site above has had almost no incoming searches from the SE's. Another site is 2 months old, 80 post, hundreds of links, and went to a PR 1. This site has incoming searches everyday. Sorry this is so long...heck, I could have pulled out links to a few more expert SEO's but, I think you can see where I stand. LOL! Hi Keith,

I just "try" not to let those factors tell me how my site is doing. Alexa is the easiest to "game". I have seen sites that get half the traffic be ranked better on Alexa, so the numbers there really aren't an accurate "traffic ranking" I think traffic and comments is a much better gauge of your site's success.
