Every SEO Addiction has a price to pay

I wasted thousands of hours checking PageRank, backlinks and anchor text by hand

Now I use those hours to research what I believe the search engines will do next instead of focusing on what they have already done

PageRank does not make you any more money

The time you spend checking your PageRank does not make you money

Over the last 12 months, PageRank on DavidNaylor.co.uk has fluctuated up and down, yet traffic remained the same.

PR3 site can get far more organic traffic than a PR5

PageRank only changes about once per quarter, why waste time checking it daily?

Check PageRank like a professional

When PageRank updates, check your market area

Did everyone move up or move down?

When PageRank matters is if you went down but your market space went up

But people aren’t just addicted to PageRank
