PR still counts, it's a google metric and it was and will stay the only metric that show google's love for a domain, other metrics are just based on separate analysis that why you find many of them DA/PA/TC/CF/AhrefPA/DA ... and we will see other metrics everyday because no one can determine or say that it has the real formula to calculate domain strength
For those who said that PR is wortless, i have no reply to them because they talk nonsense
yes this is the point..metrics are not accurate enough these days..the quality of the backlinks is what is important nowadays..Backlink profile is important. Metrics are pretty much useless.
