Why I care about Pagerank
Is it because I think it affects the amount of visitors? It hardly has an affect that I notice. On my sites that I took a hit including More Merchant I have sen an increase since the Pagerank Upheaval. So no, I don’t care about Pagerank necessarily for the traffic.
I sell only links on a few sites, yet Google hit me on sites that do not sell links. Also on the few sites that I have that sell links all the links are in direct relation to the content. This is important to me as a publisher because I want my readers to get valuable info. I don’t sell links to anyone. I sell quality links, and thus Google should respect that since they say they are all about quality. I am too! So don’t hate me. Love me, because I am not a spammer selling links to anyone.
I can generate traffic, I have always had decent traffic.
The only reason I care about The stupid game Google plays called Pagerank is the same reason why I care about the ridiculous Alexa.
It is because Advertisers look at both Pagerank and Alexa. That is why. I am online to make money. This is the reason why Google is online and they make money so why should Google hate that I make money?
This is the reason why I feel Pagerank is important. Should it be? Nope. But it is. At this point we have to deal with it until we can get away from the all evil Google.

For months i’ve been saying that pagerank does not matter.. Every time someone complains that they have only a PR2, I tell them it’s no big deal – nobody cares..
Then the other day when PR on my main site dropped from PR5 to a PR4, I was devastated and started looking for my rope and wobbly stool.. I know it doesnt ‘really’ matter since it does not affect SERPs or my traffic – but like you said, advertisers look at PR so it can potentially affect my bottom-line. Now I tell everyone that as long as the recent PR drops were even, across the board, “it doesn’t matter”..
I agree, as long as they were across the board, but they weren’t across the board as proven by the big names getting some pagerank back.
More on this tomorrow.
