Blogroll ? Page Rank ? Is it that important ?

It’s been a while since i started my first blogs ever on 6 July 2006 which located at reaperxzr.wordpress.com, and now i’ve started my second blogs at reaperxzr.daria.be. But still i don’t know much about blogrolling / blogroll and such stuff. I only know its concept (which is the same concept like link exchange) but still do not know on how to get someone else to blogroll with me (since most of them only want to exchange link with a Google PR of 3 and above)

I dont really know if blogroll is important or not, but one thing im sure of Link Exchange does increase traffic to your site / blogs / page (although not that much, since they only care about their page rank). And after reading several website about blogroll / link exchange they only care to blogroll with someone that has a minimum Google PR (Page Rank) 3 / 4. At first i though Google PR was something really important but after using Google Toolbar, i think there’s no big difference between a site with Google Page Rank >= 1 and Google Page Rank 0. For example try searching for Reaper-X using Google or try searching for download windows genuine activation tool (this is based by the search query from the visitors that came to my site) or other keywords which is related to my main page / blogs / site. And you’ll see that my page that doesnt have a page rank can still be on the top 10 google search or at least can be found on google.

And the question is … do you really need a pagerank ? I dont think so, since most visitors only care about the content of your site and if you offer unique content they’ll be back to your site no matter what. But the most important thing is you are using the correct keywords for your article / posts since the correct keywords leads you to the top or at least can be found on search engine. And if you’re using Theme created by someone else try opening the page using a Text Based browsers like Lynx since that’s how search engine looks your site, they only search for keywords.

And the conclusion is there’s no need to worry about pagerank and such stuff, think about your content first and use keywords wisely so your site can be found on major search engine and you’ll have returning visitors daily to read your content. And one thing for sure, if you has a lot of blogroll on your site that means you has alot of friends out there, unlike me ;)
