Trust Rank

I think Trust Rank will be the successor of Page Rank.

 

I like bagels.

 

Time to think about Trust Rank make speculations.....

 

does anyone has any idea when will it be replaced by TrustRank.

 

Do you mean completely replaced by Trust Rank? I think its not..
Google is just disabling the toolbar to display the PR..
Its only a speculations by other...

Let's wait and see what googgle is up to

 

trustrank or pagerank - doesn't really matter to me...

i'm just curious though, if trustrank is really replacing pagerank, will there be a new toolbar (or indicator) that displays trustrank?

 

Maybe... or maybe google will release a new version of Google Toolbar

Just wait and see...

 

What is trustrank? Is there any information regarding this? Where has all this speculation come from?

 

Here's a link from Stanford White Paper about trust rank.

Speculation comes from forums like this one Hehe. SEO gossip at its best

 

Speculations came since Google toolbar doesn't show PR now, read bit more about TrustRank

Mmmmm...4 posts within 5 mints...that show importance of TrustRank today

 

Trustrank doesn't read to me like something that can replace pagerank. It could be used in tandem to improve upon pagerank.

 

BagleRank? There's apparently a hot rumor that it will replace PageRank!!!

 

I agree with you. If I undersdtand TR idea correctly, TR allows sitewars. Bad Site link alot to Good Site and Good Site TR is falling.

 

Yeah. I can see all the folk with those link farms they built up linking to the competition to drive their trust rank into the toilet

 

I’m not sure I agree that links from ‘bad’ sites will affect a good site negatively. I think the higher rule, “your competitor can do almost nothing to hurt your rankings” will still prevail.

That said, if you receive links from a bad site, and if you reciprocate, I think this would clearly affect your trustworthiness.

On the other hand, I think logic would dictate that links from ‘good’ sites are always good, regardless of whether or not they are reciprocated. In fact, my guess is that reciprocating a good site link would lessen the amount of trust that flows to your site.

 

/me makes a massive link farm to link to every single page on microsoft.com.

We know that the pagerank algorithm itsself is about as good as you can get but Google needs a better source of data. Trustrank is just PR using human rating instead of # of backlinks.

We'll just have to wait and see.

 

Found this on another thread at DP. A better explaination of proposed TR.

 

I don't think that will happen in the next 2 years...

 

Softgroups tell me what is the purpose of bumping old threads up lol.

On topic: Trustrank I think is just a future plan of Google in case PR gets out of control.
