I am now coming to realize just how pointless chasing high PR actually is.. And thinking in terms of a websites success, what good is high PR and a ton of traffic if the site is not converting that into dollars. If a site is optimized and built around being a business, then it needs to be making some decent returns on what has been invested. Ranking on the other hand, seems to be quite important. Especially breaking into the top 10'000. Great article, Tad
