Best Strategy for High Google Search Position?

[Evil Chris]

Relevancy is certainly KEY, but also non-relevant, hight PR valued linkbacks can be beneficial as well. It will get you immediate Google traffic and you won't be penalized because a site like that is linking to you.

Many webmasters completely ignore PageRank but I don't. Your own page doesn't need to have high PR, but if the sites linking to you have PR4 or better, you are doing all right with Google.

I have always been confused with statements such as "sites having PR4 or better". Are you referring to the term DomainRank? which I have seen mentioned in a number of SEO articles - I believe that the site DomainRank is the PageRank of the site URL (www.site.com). Or are you referring only to webpages with a PR4+?

Directories are a good example of this. One may list in a directory where www.thisdirectory.com is PR4, but the backlink is located on an interior page say http://www.thisdirectory.com/categor.../linkpage.html where linkpage.html has aa PR0.

Does anyone know if DomainRank is a factor in Google search ranking results?
