Like Wilfing (What Was I Looking For?), Pagewanker is another very interesting word to describe people who are too obsessed with the green Google PageRank slider on the Google Toolbar.
Urban Dictionary defines the typical symptoms of a Pagewanker – PageWankers with a high PageRank 8-10 often show symptoms of euphoria and increased sex drive but with decreasing PageRank, they may suffer from mood swings, irritability, anger, and increasing hostility towards the internet..
Further suggestions – Alexawanker (for Alexa obsession), Technowanker (for Technorati Rank obsession).

Who are these people with PR8-10 who’d even care about PageRank? If they’re that big they’re massive anyway.

For a blogger who has made blogging his profession(or planning to do so),those stats are certainly those to be checked and worried about……
No worries for you and me anyway..:)

Pagerank not really a matter, some website with low pagerank can list 1st at search engine. It good to raise your pagerank but not worthy to use all your effort to get high pagerank. Just my opinion :)

SEO is very slow, long term & step by step process… You can learn so much things, if you continuously be in touch with Google Webmaster Tools, Google Web Results, Read SEO books, Watch SEO tutorials & do practice on that.

Funny, I didn’t know I have a disease. Well, it doesn’t matter ever since Google dropped my PR to 0, I think I have been cured of it. :)
