Default Re: Does PR Sculpting Work?

You need a vacation Webnauts. Seeing conspiracies now?

You don't have to know what the actual PR values are to know where most of it goes. Just apply the PR logic and you'll know where most of it goes.

Greg by the way is talking about bigger sites and is discussing it might be helpful to keep PR in the top level pages. He's also combining nofollow with noindex.

I don't see a real value here. If somebody links to a noindexed page, that PR value is gone completely. Just pure loss if you ask me. I think he's just talking about a temporary fix in order to get results faster. He's also saying PR of the home page should be like 6 or 7. Who works with those kind of sites? Not me.. So maybe PR sculpting is useful with huge sites that have a lot of PR already, and then only temporary. But for most sites, its just a waste of time if you ask me.

He says Matt Cutts says it is ok to do PR sculpting with nofollow. But what does that mean? To me it simply means he doesn't care what you do with PR. He kind of has no choice but to say that nofollow does not harm a site at all. They've been so fanatic on the nofollow they really can't change that into saying that you can't use it on your own pages..
