I come across many people giving out wrong details about pagerank that it doesn’t hold any importance anymore and Google no more considers pagerank in to its ranking system anymore. But I see it as something that is some kind of wrong information being spread across the web and strange truth is I see even long time bloggers do claim that it more has any value anymore and its useless. Here are some of the truths that you need to know on why it still holds some value when it comes to your SEO campaign.

1. Helps your pages to be crawled more deeply:
Higher pagerank sites are crawled more rapidly and also indexed more rapidly than lower PR sites. Also the High PR sites are crawled more deeply and this is a proven fact and not a myth.

2. Pagerank marks authority of a website:
Its an undeniable fact that higher pagerank sites carries more authority than lower ones, meaning Google has some trust over these sites.

3. Links from higher PR sites has more authority:

As I mentioned before high pagerank sites carries more authority so links from a higher PR site will have more value than a link from a low pagerank site and chances are that you may rank high and also pass the Google sandbox by building links on them.

4. Pagerank plays a role with your rankings:
I know many of you may not agree with this point, but both directly and indirectly, when you build your links on a higher pagerank site it holds more value and also when you have a high PR site it means you are already holding some authority, they may not play a big role in ranking but still it does play a considerable role.

5. Pagerank still holds value on market:
When you want to buy or sell a website or a domain, pagerank is still taken as an indicator and higher pagerank domains and sites holds more value than lower pagerank sites.
