Google PageRank no big deal to blogosphere heavy weight

I never gave much weight to my blog’s PageRank. Makes me feel even better when I read what Doc Searls had to say.

This blog’s PageRank was 8/10 for a long time. Now (my Google toolbar tells me) it’s 6/10. Not saying I care all that much. In fact, I haven’t looked at the PageRank thingie in a long time, for any page I visit. But somebody asked a PageRank question about another site, and I noticed the drop in my own, um, status. Oh well. Whatever, I guess.

This blog’s PageRank dropped from a 7 or 8 to a 6. Darn thing still comes up at the top of search engines, traffic grows, my influence seems to grow, and business continues to increase as a result of this blog, our sole marketing vehicle.

    You’ve spotted the great PageRank con! It matters not one jot what your PR value is, it is traditional SEO strategy that brings visitors to your site and boosts your position in the search engine results pages. PageRank only has a value if you intend to sell advertising on your site. It isn’t necessarily a measure of site performance either – more a measure of potential.
