hi.....
Page Rank is calculated by number of back links u get from other web site.And not when u give back link to others website.so u don't have to worry.u have got 952 back links that's really cool.just type link:http://www.savingtoinvest.com/ in Google.while commenting on others blog u should use no follow link,Now if Ur concern about the page rank then do one thing search for website which shows the back links to your website along with page rank,website with low page rank does affect your page rank if its not using no follow link on Ur URL,request the owner of the website to either remove Ur URL or put no follow tag,Google say higher the page rank more traffic u get from Google.But don't think it will make any difference to Ur blog as u write original content and Google loves that and so more traffic,Ur doing great job!
May God Bless You!

Andy,

I think Google Pagerank just work for anyone who want to make money with Text links broker like Textlinkads.com. I am not sure that Google PR could effect our site position in search engine.

Page rank is still something you'd rather have than not, but it's far from the only game in town these days.

I have websites/blogs with identical page rank that get literally 100-times different amount of daily traffic from Google (say 50 versus 5000). That's not the end of the story (you can rank high for a term but few people might type it) but some of these are in related fields.

I think Google has moved on. But as I say, I'd rather have it than not. :)

Pagerank these days is useless in a way. There is too many fakers out there with lots of junk to promote links to the search engines.

Great primer, really helped explain things!

Curt - Never thought about the Adsense perspective. Does make sense though....My adsenese income has gone up, but so have visitor numbers and have not really noticed higher EPC rates. Will review though. The social aspect of PR is also an interesting view and I agree. Perhaps I should take the PR more seriously after all. Like most things you only know the true value of something when it is gone or you don't have it anymore.

Kyle - I found most of my ad deals came from direct ad requests. For the more profitable ones, I did not implement a "do not follow" attribute, but I did check the site out and what other sites linked to it. They had a number of prominent links so I figured, that they were okay to go with. Linkworth is of limited use and they take much to big a commission.

Yeah I know you can sell no-follow links without penalty, but I haven't had any luck whatsoever selling those over at Linkworth. Seems like most advertisers want page rank, which is completely understandable. Maybe I should just try harder.

well they have updated pagerank now

Thanks Andy, I read somewhere that google Adsense pays a higher percentage commission to pages with a higher PR. I'm not sure if that is true, but if it is, then your Adsense income may increase because of your increase in PR.

Also, other bloggers may be more willing to comment and get a link from your sight because of the higher PR.

Perhaps the biggest advantage is an increase in respect within the blogging community.

Thanks for the comments. From an article I read, a good equation showing page rank is:

Search Engine Listing = Relevance * Page rank. I don't know the proportions but I am sure relevance is more important.

I was wary of text links as well, but as dgi said, if you have the no-follow link attribute (see this related post - Beware Paid Links and use the "no follow" attribute ) then google does not penalize. That being said, most advertisers want the "do-follow" aspect so that they get the most bang for their buck.

Writing good quality content and ensuring it is well publicized are the key aspects of growing the revenue and readership of a blog.

Actually I also think that Page Rank is more of a cosmetic thing as it is just one of the aspects that determine your position on certain keyword search terms in Google.
What's most important however is to write good quality content for people and not for google. Thus if you manage to get as many RSS subscribers as possible even if you end up last in google searches for everything, you'd still have an audience.

Kyle, actually you could sell text links and google is ok with it if they are "no-follow", which means that they don't add any page rank value to the sites that paid for the link. Google is ok if you sell links in order for others to get traffic, just not page rank..

My understanding, which is far from complete, is that page rank was once very meaningful within the google ranking algorithm but is now more or less aesthetic; however, page rank does still seem to play a roll in how much advertisers are willing to pay to advertise on your site. So I don't think organic google traffic would necessarily decrease substantially just because your page rank were to decrease for some reason, but the amount of money advertisers would be willing to pay for the same level of traffic might. Problogger and Entrepreneurs-Journey have some pretty good articles on ths subject. Somebody feel free to correct me if I'm wrong because despite all this, I'm still wary of selling text links on my site for now.
