There's no such thing as a "average" PageRank!!!

I understand that the google toolbar pagerank is an outdated indication of your site pagerank. So how do we get a real indication of our pagerank then?

You can't

Why is everyone so tied up in page ranking? I want to hear another's facts on PR and why it's important or not important. Maybe another thread too.

From this, we could conclude that a link from a page with PR4 and 5 outbound links is worth more than a link from a page with PR8 and 100 outbound links. The PageRank of a page that links to yours is important but the number of links on that page is also important. The more links there are on a page, the less PageRank value your page will receive from it.

Actually you cannot come to such a conclusion at all. The SGB is absolutely nothing at all to do with the REAL PR that links pass on and Google uses.

YES, PR DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING, so HOW is it GOOD for a website?

What I've always been interested in - why so many WMs consider PR so much important?

This mean that you have high SERP and high PR doesnt mean you get high click .
Sometime it might cause of Meta Title and Meta Description. If over optimizing become something that not interested by human behavior to click on it. That is why people do add some call to action of some promo in description to push people to click on it .

SERP and PR are two different animals......PR is a very small factor in site rank.....
O PR can have a #1 site.....
And neither can guarantee any visitors or conversions if it does result in visitors...)

Yes, it is not bad, but don't forget something: a pagerank doesn't mean a good position in Search Engine Result Pages (or SERP).

If page rank is nothing than why people are just crazy about page ranks? In this update I got 4 Pr still I am not happy. Coz i know traffic is more important than page rank.

Because they think traffic will come with pagerank.

It sounds like you are concerned with it since you're not happy with your PR4....

I wouldn't say that PR means anything. Ny site has a pretty low PR but the main thing is about SERP and positions. I would actually ignore this factor.

In my opinion 4 PR isn't bad, try hard to get 1 PR.
actually the next Google update PR will be happen in this October.

Ummm-ma.....the PR scale starts at 1 and goes....up....

Yes PR4 is known as blogger heaven. A place I am yet to experience. You can still be hit from Google Panda and Penguin with your PR4 though so it does matter how you get there. I think this what may throw people off thinking PR does not matter.
