Why 7+

I have 5 and been running Google Ads since September

Btw, the CPC for IT related ads are the lowest you can get.

Hi,

we've got to 5 and have now begun to see our adwords costs drop because of this.

Getting to 5 took a lot of hard SEO work, as you're probably well aware.

So as we have 5 already we need links from something substantially higher to see any PR benefits.

if the links aren't from themed sites it won't do much. pr isn't what it used to be. search for anything in google and it'll prove my point. totally relevant sites don't show up, totally inrelevant sites with no pr do.

hmm..... I've yet to see a real benefit on any search terms for a high page rank. For example, our company site has a higher page rank than our competitors, yet on any search terms I tried we were below our competitors.

SO I set up a "google bomb", and bang, we went second listing on google, jumping 30 results with no change in page rank or page content.

Second listing with a PR of 4 - the top result has no page rank. That tells me page rank comes a very distant second to having loads of incoming links.

The google listing algorithm is too easily corrupted, and as such should be ditched.
