I have been using this for awhile now. Not a large amount, just things like nofollowing links to "contact us" pages, things like that. I don't know if it has helped me, but I am fairly sure it hasn't done any harm. Jeff's last blog post..green

I agree that there are some definite opportunity costs to PR Building. I am a proponent of creating new content that is worthwhile and this usually creates incoming links, which in turn builds PR. I find this to be a better option because in the process you have also created more content for your site. Zinni's last blog post..Establishing Criteria for Good Internship Experiences

I’m not an SEO expert but if my site depends highly on organic traffic then I’d make sure I get a high pagerank so I make it to the first page. I’ll do page sculpting if I must.

I don’t agree with adam. Of course it is a moving target, but everything in SEO is moving. You should not overuse it, but it can have positive impact.

This is truly the preserve of the big boys! It is generally accepted that modest outlinking to relevant sites of good PR is worth more than hoarding.

Great post and good ideas. For small bloggers like me, it hardly makes any difference. It is nice to have good PR but it is not end all!

These are some great points to consider before sculpting sites. I’d just recommend following a keep it simple policy and only work with a few links in your site wide navigation. Then again, huge sites could see significant increases by not keeping it simple.

PR for me is an Indicator that arises as a result of my link development aimed to improve SERPs. I never try to increase PR itself. seo guy's last blog post..Discovering your next niche

PR sculpting does seem to be a slight aberration from what G and others intended for it to be, but so goes the nature of the web. It does make sense, in that your exerting control over your site in terms of what you sections you feel are more important. Top Rated's last blog post..The Very Best Digital SLR Cameras

I think what you are calling PR sculpting… it is quit normal approach for the sharp SEMs.

Awesome points from Adam. And this point is great for me:

> Internet marketers often focus too much on search engines and not enough on their users

Some good points made about the new practice of page rank sculpting. It seems to me that spending a great deal of time on PR sculpting could backfire later on when the parameters are changed. Better time would be spent working on the content of one’s website.

It’s like plastic surgery. A small amount can enhance, but you can go too far with disastrous results.
