Yesterday's article from Brad Bereitschaft at serchengineguide might be worth a read:http://www.searchengineguide.com/bereit ... 04067.htmlATNO/TWNot exactly a scientific approach ...Looking at page rank in isolation has no meaning what so ever. Without looking at the links that generated the PR you really have no basis for comparison.First how was the page rank achieved ...If one site buys a single high ranking link, and another has thousands of lower ranked links ... it is possible they could both have the same PR. Then there is the link text used for each site...If the keywords used for the search is contained in all the links for both sites, the one with thousands of links is likely to rank higher.All that article shows me is how uninformed the author is about search engine ranking.Quote:I must have interpreted the article differently. I didn't see it as viewing PR in isolation, but to the contrary I thought it was more catered to proving your point. i.e PR in and of itself cannot be a sole, or perhaps even primary consideration.It is difficult to say without specifics ....If the PR-8 is there with one link that contains the search term, and that is the only reference to the term for the site. Did the PR-8 get that page to the top results? Is it fair to assume a PR-6 page with hundreds of links and keyword rich pages should not rank higher?I agree that PR is not everything, but I have seen my sites rocket to the first page results within hours of adding a new term to my pages. Having one of the highest page ranks in my niche does not hurt! Well I can agree with that. I have noticed many positive results from forum content that I hadn't even thought of being ranked extremely high on search results. I keep getting this nagging feeling that PR has less to do with Google results than relevent content does.I'm no SEO expert, but if content works, so be it.I'd just like to know how a page that does not mention the word "javascript" a single time in copy,alt, or title text, or the URL can show at #7 of "79,400,000 English pages for javascript" ?It has a,PR of 9Content::Markup ratio of 0.505~ :: 1 (vs .14 & .15 for #s 1 & 2)1692 Total Words (vs 961 & 1019 for #s 1 & 2)595 Unique Words (vs 494 & 533 for #s 1 & 2)Other than words like "website", "web", "webmaster" & the like being heavily weighted towards the word "javascript" & multiplied by PR I can't think of a single reason http://64.233.161.104/search?hl=en&lr=l ... tnG=Searchhttp://www.statcounter.com/Look at the Google box at the top of the page ...Quote:Only ranked #7... of 79 million That just dropped my faith in google by about 50%...Why the hell would someone want to see a page that has nothing whatsoever to do with javascript in genneral when searching for a term as genneral as javascript ?Not saying I know it all or much about it, but the methods seem flawed to me I can't help but think about the p-diddy pulling up in a diet Pepsi truck commercial with this Link text is treated as if it appears on the page being linked ... if enough webmasters say it is so ... then it must be true!That just shows the power of the well known "Google Bomb" ... like "miserable failure"
