SO is Google Officially Not using Page rank anymore. if so how are they ranking? I just heard Google is not using page rank anymore...just wonderin what they are using now -C
Rank factoring is based on approximately 100+ factors. Page rank is still one of them, it is just at the bottom of the list. No one said Google stopped using page rank. Well except for a few folks around here. hope that helps, Nigel
I think you confused yourself with the announcement that they are no longer putting the page rank data in webmasters tools. PR is still in use but it's just one of the matrix that they use to determine site ranking.
In fact even Google don't know how their search engine works. I have contact support team on few occassions and they seems as confused as me.
They just dont want webmsters to become as obsessed with it as they have been. Webmasters tried to hijack PR as a tool to convince people of certain things. Google are just politely saying dont do that, without actually appearing like they are.
I think google will never stop using page rank for ranking. They have built fundamental over the Page Rank. That is not true.
Good News for guys I think Google have updated the Page Rank of internal pages of websites. My Page Rank of internal Pages of my website are got updated except the Index page or main page of website. Is anyother website page rank update or not ??
Well... PR is just one factor in thousands of factor that are in use to rank a site.... There is no such official communication of such thing that they are not using it.... Google never said this...! ---Sar
Really, why the sudden changes? and how does it affects the rankings of those who have good PR rankings? Be sure to check this out if it's true. And last question, is this a part of their changing algorithm and replacing it with Google Caffeine?
this is not true. google is still using PR. these are all just hearsay. probably to keep competitors out of the picture since almost all people now are aiming to use PR for their websites
