Yahoo.com Is Now PR9

[RTL]

Check it guys - http://www.yahoo.com

Craziness, if Alexa's number 1 website, Yahoo, is PR9, what makes a PR10? Oh, right, Google.

[Justin Nijs]

Google is PR8 ;).

[tushardhoot1]

Well so did Microsoft.

Thats what you get with competition.

BTW...A GOOGLE company, Youtube is only a PR3, and its #4 on Alexa.

[monty2002]

Adobe makes a pr10. I've never really understood why, I mean it's an important site, but its a company and I don't think google is involved with it. Not everyone links to it so I dunno!

[Vic_mackey]

Millions of sites link to adobe, to get the software downloads to view pdf's etc.

[rcj662]

I think thier were a few Pr 10 sites before. Not sure how they are doing now but adobe and google and some other ones were all Pr 10.

[Justin Nijs]

Millions of sites link to adobe, to get the software downloads to view pdf's etc.
Milions of people use Google. And I quote one of the most used answers: "Ask our friend Google (http://www.Google.com)"
(= backlink)
So why PR8?

[Minterest]

Hey checkout http://www.microsoft.com/en/us/default.aspx its 9 now... from 10......... and checkout http://www.msn.com/ its 8 now.. from 9 or 10 (dont remember).... and http://www.live.com/ got a PR of 8... I dont know about its previous rank... if anyone know please post here......


And its strange that http://www.adobe.com/ is PR 10... Microsoft is more important than Adobe.... Am I right???

[Minterest]

Google is PR8 ;).

No....... http://www.google.co.in/ is PR8 but http://www.google.com/ is PR 10 itself........

[seoworld]

Check it guys - http://www.yahoo.com

Craziness, if Alexa's number 1 website, Yahoo, is PR9, what makes a PR10? Oh, right, Google.

This just comes to show that the lates page rank update is corrupted

Google is PR8 ;).

google's classic home page is still 10 the igoogle page is 8, and it was 8 even before the update.

[Minterest]

Maybe the Big Google Penalysed Yahoo! for becoming the Number 1 Website in Traffic... LOL

[Overclock099]

Milions of people use Google. And I quote one of the most used answers: "Ask our friend Google (http://www.Google.com)"

So why PR8?

No..Google still pr10..Maybe you have check with your country tld extension..

[speed100]

check out referralsworld.com,it's PR2 from PR3 :)

[SoftCloud]

The pagerank update is a load of pants, I dropped from PR4 to PR3. :(

[seoworld]

The pagerank update is a load of pants, I dropped from PR4 to PR3. :(

Although my page rank went up from 0 to 2 on one of my sites, I still agree with you that it is loads of ****

[Pixel Concepts]

google is just taking the piss.. having a laugh at all us seo monkeys, getting our panties in a bunch

[BioSpherical]

BTW...A GOOGLE company, Youtube is only a PR3, and its #4 on Alexa.

Shows up as a PR8 for me.

[jezzz]

Yeah! it's PR9 for me too as well :D

[welkin]

This last PR update will be probably the most discussed and commented one.
btw. youtube is 8 for me too.

[lekhi123]

There are many sites, such as ibm.com they were @10 however on #9.
Not sure why this happenned. most of us are penalised for purchasing links however why IBM has been penalised for a rank... its something i think called monopoly and abusing normal people.

[welkin]

Yes, Google start to force a lot of things with their monopoly but soon I think it will play them a bad joke.

[jakomo]

maybe IBM has not been panalised, maybe Google update their PR algo to calculate the Page rank :)

[RTL]

I'm satisfied, I've promoted my site very little, and it's up to PR2 after being PR0 for the last 8 months.

[Nosfer]

well i think they've messed up with PR updating... maybe they've got few bugs there.

[wheener]

Microsoft US is Pr9 amd Microsoft UK is Pr7 what difference does it make it is still Microsoft.

[kijakarn]

They just update and re-calibrate PR ,might have a look in few days when all settle down. :)

[tushardhoot1]

Maybe the Big Google Penalysed Yahoo! for becoming the Number 1 Website in Traffic... LOL

Yahoo has been #1 since like the dawn of time.

BTW: Sorry about the youtube thing. It was PR 3 yesterday.

[AAZZ]

I dont really believe in PR for high rank domains as its google's choice, nothing more.

[NsaneNoob]

MICROSOFT is PR10 :)

[Minterest]

MICROSOFT is PR10 :)


No MS is PR 9... it was 10 before this update

[Minterest]

Microsoft US is Pr9 amd Microsoft UK is Pr7 what difference does it make it is still Microsoft.

Thats possible... the URL is different for both of that site... and also the backlinks for Microsoft U.S is much higher than that for U.K.. if we put microsoft.com then it points to MS US and not US... maybe thats the reason....

[soju]

Yahoo was PR 9 before the last update. It was 10 some time before that a few years ago.I think Google hand picks this one. There is no way they don't have everything it takes to get a 10 in the algo.

[xbtpub]

my pr drop from 4 to 2.

[live-cms_com]

This just comes to show that the lates page rank update is corrupted

Google has 3x as many backlinks as Yahoo so wouldn't you expect different PR? There is no corruption in PR, it's an algorithm...

[vinogradov]

my sites PR increased 2 ranks (from pr 0 to pr2) and its only one month old

[tushardhoot1]

I think Google is lowering the bar for low pr sites 1-3, and upping it for medium and high pr sites 4-10.

[jack7]

check this list http://www.doheth.co.uk/info/list-of-web-sites-with-high-page-rank.php

[jacobkell]

Well looks like people start to remove yahoo from their sites and that is why it dropped.What else it could be.

[web_master]

my personla opinion, yahoo deserve to be 8 not 9

[rosiee007]

Adobe makes a pr10. I've never really understood why, I mean it's an important site, but its a company and I don't think google is involved with it. Not everyone links to it so I dunno!

a lot of people link to the adobe flash player, especially on flash websites, which creates thousands of natural links coming to their site from high PR as well as low PR sites, which explains PR 10 :p

[webrepair]

Google has 3x as many backlinks as Yahoo so wouldn't you expect different PR? There is no corruption in PR, it's an algorithm...Agreed live-cms_com.

[wisdomtool]

Weird I just check and yahoo.com is PR 10, is the page rank still updating?

[kirby009]

pr are didn't really change much just the pr bull crap.

[Overclock099]

Weird I just check and yahoo.com is PR 10, is the page rank still updating?

Nope..My little green bar show pr9

[jjpmarketing]

That is exactly why their PR is high, because of the Adobe PDF Reader and the Adobe Flash Player. Any site that requires flash creates a link to their site for the download. Any site that has a PDF puts a link to the site to download Adobe Reader. There are millions of sites that do this. Can you even imagine how much traffic that generates daily? I wonder how much bandwidth they use per day?

[bomberman]

yahoo is PR 9 only...

[narenderpalsingh]

This statistic really doesn't matter much. but it is fun to talk about with you fellows.

[Rolex]

I put my sites in sig & they become PR3 without anything else

[mit]

Yes, Y is PR 9.

[madmax728]

Google.com -> PR 10
Google.co.in -> PR 8

[madmax728]

Apple.com fell from PR 10 to PR 9

[willyboy104]

wow thats awesome :D

Wish my site was pr9!

Will.

[longhornfreak]

wow thats awesome :D

Wish my site was pr9!

Will.

They dropped by 1 PR how is that awesome, they had a perfect 10

[lzy]

Apple.com fell from PR 10 to PR 9

This is weird. With so many people linking to apple.com and all...

[live-cms_com]

This is weird. With so many people linking to apple.com and all...

Maybe their link growth has slowed.

[Shazz]

A big company just promoted and recommended them, I forgot who it was... It was release publicly

[Audentio]

Google is PR8 ;).

Google is NOT pr8...most of their sites are 8 or higher but google.com is definitely a ten.

[icesar]

I think the only thing we can conclude from all of this, is to stop paying attention to PageRank ;)

[poseidon]

Google has just scale down the Page Rank. That's it. WIth every update more and more sites were getting high page ranks of PR6 and PR7 due to the presence of heavy interlinking (natural or artificial) so they said, fine..lets scale it down and let them grow again.

I can't see sites like yahoo having PR10 or 9 or 8 having any significance whatsoever.

[madmax728]

Yahoo has no. 1 on Alexa because all services of yahoo have the same main domain yahoo.com but not same in the case of Google, each country has a different domain like Turkey google.com.tr, google.de, google.co.in So international traffic is not considered.

[chickuzt]

I thought it had always been a 9 pr, but i probably just did not pay enough attention to it to notice. Got meh head up up in the clouds. ;)

The same could be said about Yahoo: www.yahoo.co.jp

[dataminer296]

Yes for today as it's a constant change just like the weather maybe there's even a yahoo slap coming soon;-)

[Vibes63]

I can understand why Adobe is PR10, they are the PDF monopoly....which offers their free reader.....
