I have seen countless sites with PR 4 or 5 and not rank for anything but the url of the site. There are many factors involved in these calculations. Alexa gives traffic counts(estimated) so I would be more interested in getting a good alexa ranking then PR. the better the alexa ranking the more traffic you have, and that is what counts. I beat higher PR sites with lower pr sites all the time.
Just choose a keyword at random and do a search on it in google and then look at the top 20 sites. I am sure you will see this with just about any keyword. I have seen PR4 sites beat PR7 sites countless times.
Yah, I do agree to some extent with you, but still confused about the fact that which one is more reliable! Can you or anyone help me out ?
