Do You Really Care About PageRank?
Come on, out with the truth. Do you or do you not care about the world’s most feared little green bar, PageRank?
Some people check their Pagerank everyday, especially those hoping on using it to get better rates for their advertising, text links and paid review. Others gave up trying to figure it out a long time ago and instead focus on looking at the numbers that matter - traffic and ROI.
So do you, or do you not? No in-betweens. Take the poll.
Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.

But for a business what matters is cash flow and ROI. And if I had to choose which web number I could it would be a low alexa number rather than a high PR!

How many times have you done a google search and the top ranking pages are just MFA with worthless content.
Most of the time the top ranking pages do not have the highest PR either.
