    I am happy that google itself has now acknowledged that PR is overhyped and it needs to rebrand it.
    If they do decide to shelve it completely... which I very much doubt, it will surely remove huge many sites from the internet which exist purely to gain PR and to sell links! :eek: ;)

    I notice many high PR sites (PR 6 above) are no longer indexed as much as before, even though their total number of pages is really a lot. This is one sign of Google devaluing PR?

    If they end it, I will finally be able to remove the Google Foolbar, yehey! But I really do think they wont, made they famous. It's funny that they are just bringing "the hype" just now, Google Inc itself is nothing but a big hype all together.

    I don't think it gonna happen. Pr is great technology and I don't think google is going to dump it. Such news are just made to get attention.

    Google should have been more responsible from the launch of pagerank and explained what it was properly, but that was by no means a mistake, they are very deliberate in everything that they do, they stay silent when it suits them.

    Theres no sign at all of the end of pagerank, investments like that dont get dropped, they at most get renamed or slightly newer information gets put out there.

    Or to keep everyone confused as they so much prefer, they make a vague comment and leave the internet population to create something out of nothing.

    This is what keeps google growing and out of trouble, they remind me of psychics and the cold reading tactics that a psychic uses, you actually provide them with more information without realising it than they ever officially announce anywhere about anything.

    Google encourages us to believe what we feel like believing.

    Of course it creates another article for the company who got to talk with the google guy.

    They probably remove pagerank from all the tools, but still have it as a behind the scenes indicator of popularity.

    I also personally think that page rank will not be thrown out - although it is not nearly as important as it use to be it is still important in the aspect of determining the importance (partly at least) of a web site. Like I said I know it is not nearly as important as it was a few years ago, but they do need some kind of way to show the importance of a web site and I think that page rank is one of the best ways to do that so far. I just don't see them getting rid of it, unless they have something to replace it with.

    I'm sure there are thousands of equally important factors that Google takes into account, the difference is that PR is the only one that gets published.

    I didn't get what the point of changing name of "pagerank" is , whatever name you call, people will take it seriously.

    Pagerank is a valuable commodity on the internet. putting an end to PR would mean a loss of income for alot of people.

    It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Although, I hope they keep PageRank around. It's just one more metric you can use to identify the value of a domain.

    At the same time... it would help unclutter internet of lot many useless and worthless sites that exist with sole purpose of PR. I guess such sites would outnumber useful and informative sites... by a huge number! :(

    People, especially new webmasters put too much emphasis on pagerank. The pagerank that you're seeing in your toolbar is a historical "snapshot" of what your pagerank was at some point in the past. The pagerank that google is currently using to rank sites may be drastically different. The pagerank metric many of you consider to be the end all be all is actually quite irrelevant. I personally have no idea what the pagerank is on any of my sites and I couldn't care less. I build sites for visitors, not for search engines. I feel that the quality of content on the internet and therefore the internet as a whole would be drastically improved if google removed any kind of publicly viewable ranking metric to force webmasters to build quality sites.
