Kgun I wouldn't not want you to go anywhere. The whole point of forums is to have enlightened discussion on topics. Just because you disagree with a lot of what I may say is not a bad thing. It is always good to be questioned on your thoughts. I am not embarrassed when someone proves me wrong, in fact I enjoy it. It is truly what we all are trying to get to here on WPW, the truth.

Now some comments:

Questions on SEO can not be compared to questions on PR. We all know what PR in the toolbar is. Nothing but entertainment. Google said this themselves. Doesn't everyone know this?

"The PageRank that is displayed in the Google Toolbar is for
entertainment purposes only. Due to repeated attempts by hackers to
access this data, Google updates the PageRank data very infrequently
because is it not secure. On average, the PR that is displayed in the
Google Toolbar is several months old. If the toolbar is showing a PR of
zero, this is because the user is visiting a new URL that hasn't been
updated in the last update. The PR that is displayed by the Google
Toolbar is not the same PR that is used to rank the webpage results so
there is no need to be concerned if your PR is displayed as zero. If a
site is showing up in the search results, it doesn't not have a real PR
of zero, the Toolbar is just out of date"
As I have said the concept of PR internal at Google is far different that what is shown in the toolbar. The concept of PR internal at Google does make a difference in how your page is ranked. The toolbar and internal PR do not match, hence my feelings on the toolbar PR. It is crap and should not be given much thought. Everyone, expert and newbie alike, should understand the difference and that is why (Webnauts) I will not ignore Toolbar PR threads. I will do my job as a moderator and let everyone know.

No it is not and I will not let this out right lie perpetuate itself on this forum as long as I am WPW.

Lastly Kgun you do have a point for WPW to be more customized for other countries. I have asked for this before, but have heard little about it. I wish they would add UK, Canada, Spanish categories for SEO questions as well, but that is another thread to discuss.
