Thanks, Lisa, for answering my question before I asked it. That's exactly what I was thinking was the case.
I have been wondering lately if the emphasis on page rank on Google, even though mine have sky rocketed for whatever reason, may be side tracking us from getting people to come to our site through other means such as this one or coming through links in published articles directly.
I agree and all the questions about PageRank on this forum was a big inspiration for my recent blog post. It's easy to get sidetracked with ranking tools but the bottom line is, "Is your traffic increasing and are you converting sales?"
