I just learned something.

Warn me next time.


Like others here I've been learning PR doesn't seem to have much correlation to actual search result placements. I've had PR4 sites with a trickle of search traffic and I just made some new seo-targeted sites that already have first page results and PR0.

Maybe people use PR as a rough estimate of trust in terms of looking for trades. I've been more swayed into the 'traffic is what counts' camp, regardless of PR.
