Thanks for the info, I was somewhat sceptical we had just jumped from PR4-7 overnight, I have seen a large number of new inbound links but seeing as we only migrated the site over onto the new servers and propagated the URL last week we still have loads more work to get done on it. Our keyword market in travel is as anyone would expect extremely competitive so hopefully SEO over time will prove to be a good investment of our time and effort, we were just rather shocked this morning at the new crawled Pagerank!

Well SEO on its own is not that useful. SEO to drive conversion is very very useful. To generalize, what's the final objective of doing SEO? Common answers are "get more buyers", "get more subscribers", "get people do download X", etc. To give you an example: I have a PR5 page that ranks in the top 10 for a 50m results query. The page has links from really (really) awesome sites (think multinational companies). Traffic from this query? Minimal. Why? It's not a commonly used keyword and certainly doesn't drive that many subscribers to the site.

  Exactly, were aware of the relevance of keywords and the optimization of our deep level pages with more detailed keywords. We have started a review this week of our internal link structure and the use of more specific travel terms, ie 'holidays in tunisia' or 'package holidays in tunisia' for our deeper destination pages. Hopefully the relevancy of these search terms coupled with a well performing site should yield better results than we could ever anticipate for 'travel' or 'holidays' etc!! Cheers for the input
