			<description><![CDATA[@Andrew - well, as folks such as Michael (below) are fond of pointing out, we don't really know WHICH links Google is valuing and HOW they're being valued (think Personalized PageRank). This means we really never know exactly how much PR a page truly has. The toolbar is but a floating point number (prone to hand jobs).... it is as U say, not a precise approach. I think that's why I enjoyed the video, while there is potential, it can also be a massively poor use of resources. Direct the energy where it can best serve the overall goals. NP on the linkee... just dolling out the PR weeeee.... great post U had - enjoyed it! (gets my vote) @Michael - how goes things? Nice 2 CU about - miss the blogging! I certainly agree that there is as much potential to mess things up than do any benefit - and we don't know much of actual page/global PR valuations at this point (what came after PPR?) Well before the whole 'nofollow' movement started and folks took their siloing to sculpting, understanding the relationships of the internal (and external) links was important IMO... but like a shiny new toy people may have gone overboard with new magical mythology (as they do with implicit user feedback signals). At the end of the day, for me, it's the value of the time invested into the activity that is important. When constructing/renovating websites one should have an understanding of PageRank management such as it is with what we do know... beyond that, only in the more obvious situations is it often warranted. IMHO as always... (thanks for dropping in with the 2c gents... always appreciated)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[He basically says what I've been saying all along: focus on showing search engines your most important content. And he once again sidestepped the issue of how one goes about measuring PageRank for any given site in the first place. You cannot sculpt PageRank with the precision that people in the SEO industry are trying to. This buzz expression and all its accompanying rationalization s need to die because all the "advice" given out on how to "sculpt" PageRank is wrong, misleading, and wasteful.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[First off muchas gracias for the link to my SEO Overkill post. I have been using nofollow and noindex tactics for several years now and while I have found it to be an inprecise science, I have definitely seen it to be of considerable value. I find it particularly helpful in site redesigns when the internal link architecture changes significantly. It's a great way to try to retain the old internal linking that was providing a SEO benefit while changing the UI of the page.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Well, managing PR flow around a given site is most certainly an important part of the on-site toolbox, fer sure. But at the same time I am quick to caution against any anal activity and there's only so far one would take it IMO... In perfect world, with limitless budgets, we could spend a great deal of time worrying about it... reality is though, task management is important as well. So for me, PR distribution/management is important, but it has to live with other areas such as content programs and link building (and other on-site tasks). It's a benefit/resource game... of that extra mile in PR management brings minimal returns, was that time not better spent crafting (link baitable) content? All SEOs should understand PR management... as well as when and where to use it... ya know?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[hey hey Dave and as usual you post another thought (reminding!?) provoking post. PR sculpting should be considered as it's another biggy for 'on page optimisation' if you could call it that. Not looking at this is kinda the same as having all title tags the same, it's a waste!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Actually, I spent most of my life in the martial arts and simply have an appreciation for the art... all art really, all things... As far as directories are concerned, they've been worked way down the link scale to the point of being little more than foundational... I'd only be looking at some of the paid ones and top free... not much beyond that. But yes, understanding PageRank as a fluid creature helps in all areas... something to always consider... PRD, he he. We could even use 'PageRank Management'... lol. Either way, consideration of it should be second nature.]]></description>
