Does Page Rank Help in Search Engine Ranking Position?

Author: SEO Company Geek

April 24, 2009

This question has been floating around the web for years and the myth still looms quite large. Does a high page rank help me get a high search engine ranking?

The simple answer is a big, fat NO! But it gets much more complicated. A high page rank could be representative of many other high quality backlinks or it could just be one not-so-good high page rank backlink.

Here was a post on DigitalPoint which hammers home this point.

Tried everything to improve google ranking but didn’t work

Hi Friends,

I have a jewelry related website with pr4 it has 322 backward links. I have tried too many things to improve my keywords ranking like:-

1- Bookmarking with individual keywords.
2- Link Exchange with quality sites.
3- Keyword rich article submission.
4- Blogging for individual keywords.
5- Free directory submissions.

But still my keywords are not in top 50 keywords in google (USA).

Please suggest me what should I do more to get my keywords in top ten in google.

Every suggestion is valuable for us. So kindly share your ideas with me.

Thanks

Rajesh

A page rank 4 is not considered very high and could easily be achieved with a couple of average PR5 backlinks. Jewelry is a fairly competitive niche and as you see by what the forum poster says, he can’t even crack the top 50 for any decent keywords. I have seen time and again that page rank alone does not mean much when it comes to search engine ranking position. I will be posting a more scientific case study on this topic in the near future so keep an eye out of you are interseted in some more in-depth data.
