Unfortunately the TBPR won’t really tell you much that is trustable. An example;

Website gets tanked for an infraction – TBPR though, may not reflect this for months until it is updated.

Beyond that we know there is a penchant for adjusting TBPR scoring manually which doesn’t necesarily mean the page strength/rankings have dropped…. TBPR is simply not a reliable metric.

..but that’s neither here nor there.

The main point is more about the fixation with PR/Links by many in the SEO world…Certainly they are important, but often the obsession blinds peeps from the myriad of other rankings signals used in search engines these days…

People keep saying Google sucks because of it’s link centric algo, when in reality there are many other layers (methods and signals) within the ranking processes… myopic really.. So who is really addicted to links? Google? or the SEOs?

TBPR is simply a different representation of PR and PR simply represents the likelihood someone might arrive on your website, making it a measure of how many links point to your website.

YES, you STILL need links and NO, being obsessed with links is NOT a bad thing.
Pointing a link from your mortgage loan website to your Britney Spears fansite will increase your PR ever so slighty, however it won’t help your fansite rank better AT ALL.

So, this means that YOU = FAIL.

The page rank only works for link- exchange…
