Yeah.. Obivously.. Its a forum!.. mostly we discuss things here.. Members rarely posts about only latest releases news for getting linkbacks.. Everything happens in this field..
So coz of lack of link backs TE has PR 0.. But for us, it is important that it is India's No. 1 Forum
TE URL strructure has changed in the past month causing the old indexes to be lost.
Apart from that there was a bug in the portal which led to redirection errors leading to cancellation of pr.
And google has changed its pr rankings significantly now. We will regain our pagerank in due time. As it is i would look at traffic and content rather than pr.
PR is imp for guys who wanna earn money from there sites or blogs.. And they can do whatever they want for getting PRs.. As i know, TE has huge traffic from India and i hope, we will get PR soon. But as for now, PR is not necessary for TE.
