Google pagerank has become one of the most important factors, to determine how valuable is a web site. Many webmasters no longer care if your ranking well in SERP’s or not, or even if you have high amount of daily traffic. All they care about is your web site pagerank and how much your charging per link.
Google pagerank is not only a tool to measure the importance of a web site, it has also become a symbol for almost all webmasters. The more pagerank your web site has, the more respect you get from other webmasters. In fact, if you have pagerank 7 or higher, you will start getting hundreds of natural backlinks talking about your high pagerank !
As of today, it has been 116 days since the last pagerank update and the new update should have been weeks ago which means its VERY late. I can see alot of webmasters starting to go crazy on forums and blogs. Some of them posted that they check their pagerank every 10 minutes hoping for a change, they’re having a hard time sleeping and can’t concentrate on their work anymore ! Google pagerank has become more like a black hole, if you get sucked on it, there is little hope of saving you.
You should go back to the start and think it all over again. Almost all of us work online to earn some extra money, for that you will need targeted traffic coming to your web site to sell your products/services, in order to get targeted traffic, you will need good rankings in the major search engines. Which means you need unique content and quality backlinks from related web sites.
This is the proccess that we all follow and its no big secret. My question for you is, where the hell do you see the words “Google Pagerank” in this plan/proccess !?
Google pagerank is only important to those who sell/exchange links. Its also important for seo companies, in order to show their clients that they’re good at what they do. Other than that, it has no importance at all. My advice for you is not to worry much about your google pagerank and concentrate more on your web site products and content.

Content is king as far as I’m concerned. Build you site well and add appropriate content to your site and you will have the foundation for SEO.
I do understand the frustration of building a site in a niche market which had at the time an exhaustive amount of appropriate content yet I can only guess because of the lack of backlinks was not highly ranked on Google. Eventually the site did receive a number of links and now ranks much higher.
I still think it a well built site with the right content is where you have to start.

I really don’t understand why so many webmasters put such a high value in pagerank. In a way, I wish that google would just end public pr so webmasters will focus on important factors such as traffic, and serps. Many low pr sites have proved that pr is not important for rankings, and I feel that pr is a tired way of placing value on a website. Just my 2 cents

I try to get my client sites found. My main concern when it comes to Search engines is to make sure that my sites are positioned well in the search results for the chosen keywords. I find that to be moire useful than obtaining a high page rank the two are not the same.
I find it quite difficult to get the required quality backlinks to sites which I still don’t agree with. There are a number of quality sites but there’s not always a reason to link to it. So these days it seems one of the only ways to get links is to add a blog to your site.
