		<description>For me, a good leader is also a good follower. For he/she can&#039;t lead an organization if they are not a good follower. Everyone has a capability to be a leader if he/she is qualified to be a leader. If they are responsible enough.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m becoming more convinced that it&#039;s not becoming less important due to the fact that it&#039;s no longer relevant because PageRank is very relevant.  I think that it&#039;s becoming less important solely based on the fact that there are now so many other factors that are used to determine our website&#039;s rank in the listings.  

But rather than showing PageRank less attention, we should be figuring out what some of the other, newer factors are and along with our PageRank, we should start focusing on those factors as well.  If there are 100 factors and we are able to figure out 90 or them and do the best that we can in all of them then I believe we can begin to see better listings.</description>

		<description>You know what I really wanna know about PageRank.. Why does Google have it open for everybody ? Matt Cutts always says people shouldn&#039;t worry about PageRank, and lot&#039;s of other SEO guru&#039;s say PageRank is becoming less important (tough, still very important).. Then why would Google openly share the PR with everybody ? Hmm.. makes me wonder :)</description>

		<description>Nicholas,

Are you affiliate links (like bluehost and Elegant) no follow? Probably not? You know Google penalizes you (@PR) if your affiliate links are not nofollow!

		<description>I think the important point is mentioned here in this comment.  If you focus on the human relationships, you will get the links, then get the Page Rank, then show up in the SERPs, get more visitors for more relationships to start the cycle again.

		<description>Helmi Asyraf @ Huzzer Magazine --&gt; I think it&#039;s a strange that people keep revisiting the idea that we shouldn&#039;t focus on PageRank but that we should only focus on our readers.  I find it strange for several reasons.

1.  Why aren&#039;t we appealing to both readers and search engines that bring us new readers? Why choose when it&#039;s very simple to enjoy both?
2.  PageRank is determined by inbound links. Inbound links reveal how much others are enjoying your content. Hence PageRank is a revelation of how much your actually appealing to real people.  If your PageRank is low then you&#039;re likely not accomplishing SEO or writing for real people.  
3.  I also find most often that those who oppose working on PR are people with less than desirable websites.  I&#039;m not saying that this is the case here, but often those who can&#039;t seem to accomplish the task of creating awesome content in a brilliant design often dismiss it as unimportant.</description>
