PR and Alexa both have something very important in common - they are both ridiculously unreliable and a bad gauge of your SEO. Let's begin with PR. Google's algorithm is based on an internal PR that they secretely assign to every webpage. However, this isn't the value that they display in the Google toolbar. In fact, the PR value they display is only updated every couple of months, and even then, isn't always reflective of their internal PR algorithm.

Now to consider Alexa: alexa gets its reporting from people who use the Alexa toolbar. But those people are just a small niche representation of the Internet population. For that reason, there is a huge bias for techies and people who frequent Alexa's network (Amazon.com). All in all, it's just pretty unreliable.

thnx alot for these information ^_^

i will talk about my web site and alexa

the rank of my web page was 498,... i dont know exactly and then some ppl told me to download the alexa tool bar and try to refresh my page and make my home page my web page and i did it for maybe 15 days and now my rank is 298,... i dont know i think that if you want to get a good rank just download the alexa tool bar and refresh the web site 902384908 times lol

but about the PR untill now im trying to get more and more information about it
but asu all say that if you have a good links and alot of links to your web site you will get better rank in the search engine and i think that is true and also the information that the website includ it and how easy also the coding it will always be better for the search engines to find it. now my web site if you type in the google search oudh and perfumes you will find company online store is the first in search engine
