This is programming stuff. Quite for programmers. But anyway, it is relevant.

I would love to hear an answer to the following question: "If you blast a money site directly with 20000 links using xrumer/scrapebox, will my site rank better even my link is on pages with hundreds of viagra links or will my site be penalized?" ;)

@IgorHW well i do understand what you are talking about. Internal PR composes of various metrics which are not obviously included while calculating toolbar PR. But one thing can't be neglected that at somepoint few ranking metrics are alike for the both and that's the reason why a trusted site is always having google toolbar PR. So, whatever we can talk about, but the fact is toolbar PR still acts as an trusted indicator for getting an impression about the site at a glance.

@backlinkchecker You are supposed to neglect toolbar PR, Matt is talking about Google internal PR.

If PR is still an important factor then how come SEO geeks suggest to neglect PR as SEO metrices?
