Views on PR - My complete U-Turn as of today...
-
Up until today I was anti PageRank, believing that it was a useless metric which just caused obsession and misplaced working effort... however, as of today I have done a complete u-turn and been shown how it is still useful as a trigger monitor type thing which is awesome.
Just wondering what others views were on this?

Thanks, yeah the video says pretty much what I was thinking, that whilst PR isn't worth obsessing over, it is worth watching (i.e. as a sign of Google's reactions to stuff, such as penalties)... I stopped watching it all together about two years ago but it seems I need to start watching it again.

I've always thought it was something. Not everything, but how many public signals are there? When I look on SEOMOZ at my list of strongest pages, the high page ranks are at the top, the mid PRs are in the middle etc.

Website completely disappeared from SERPS.
My website which was launched back in September 2013, after a few months it was ranking second page for some of the most competitive keywords. It was all because of some good quality guest posts from PostJoint. After a few months, the website was ranking on 16th page of Google, then 20th page, then 25th and now nowhere!! I agree that majority of the guest postings of PostJoint were blakchat. For this reason I have now disavowed all domains where I had guest posting done from PostJoint. My questions: 1. Is my website affected by Penguin, Panda etc? (There was no manual penalty though)

2. My website is nowhere even for "My Company Name", this is a shame, I have to run a PPC campaign in order to get the traffic where visitors were typing our company name in Google.
3. What are the remedies? I can't afford to start a new domain, because the domain has been advertised heavily (offline marketing etc). Please let me know your thoughts, Thanks in advance!0 -

Why am is my PR # dropping after signing up for quality directories?
I have followed the suggestion regarding quality inbound linking from reputable sites....ie open directory, yahoo, and only directories recommended by other SEO groups and only with PR's of 4 or higher. After listing, my PR # went down. How do I find the culprit to start reversing this? My fear is I am on a downward slope..Thanks!
