Google I'm Begging You.....

Google please get rid of Page rank please please....It's driving me freaking nuts..thread after thread...Page rank this page rank that....Who gives a damn...Worry about your serps...

Now if your a directory or a person who sells links I can see why you might want the update to come but please stop!!

Worry about your serps, conversions, Market analysis, link building and strategic marketing plans...Don't worry about that green little bar....That green little bar if it go's up does not mean your serps will go up so stop!

This is exactly why Google got rid of the supplemental tag is because no one focused on the real goals...unique content, relevance, quality, conversions and so on...So leave it alone it will happen when it happens if not then it wasn't mean to be..

 

Uninstall the d*** thing. Why do you or anyone need it?

 

That's what I thought when I first saw the post. What I think the poster is saying, though, is that they'd like to see the whole "Google page rank" thing go away. I don't have the toolbar, myself, and when I want to check pagerank, I have to use an online tool. It's not a required piece of equipment.

 

I was talking about page rank in general not necessarily the toolbar so I revised the post and stated page rank...

Seems like you must be one of those guys who says "Hey whens the next page rank update" "Hey will my serps go up if my page rank does"

Hey sorry if I hit a nerve but it's the truth....Focus on what matters not on some "Big Green Joke"

 

Weird thing is... My google toolbar doesnt have a Pr meter

 

Hi ... couldn't agree more about PR, especially after I actually looked into what's put on the tool bar. That said, I was recently dealing with an up-and-coming writer. He was to contribute a new short story to my site.

The deal was all but done when he sends an e-mail. He's backing out. Some friends said the status of the site, a PR2, was too low and his reputation might suffer, at a crucial point in his career.

This isn't the first time writers have spurned my money. It won't be the last. The tale shows what PR means in the popular sense.

My two cents.

 

Totally agree with your main statement, but I think that Page Rank should stay available for those who wish to see it.

I think it still has significance from a point of quality. To get PR6s and above takes a fair bit of work and time.

 

Ok so your saying page rank means quality...Ok so if I go out and BUY 4 or 5 page rank 7 links that took NO TIME OR WORK at all then when the update happens and I have a page rank 6 that means you think my site is quality and I really worked my ass off getting it....Yeh right!!

Page rank does not mean quality in all cases or for that matter in most cases it does not mean quality....

Quality to me means....Good quality content that I myself would actually link to, Serp's in most cases will mean quality but not page rank..

 

Yes a good example would be the Wikipedia, excellent content, a lot of people do provide one ways links, and also has a very high PR.

 

And the world still regard Wikipedia as a quality informative site even if their vision isn't obscured with green little bar.

 

I don't see how you can be bothered by PR that much. Just ignore it, move on....do your own recipe : work for good content and attract legitimate traffic and PR by doing quality writing.

 

If you let a little PR get to you than you need a vacation. Don't worry about it it will in time sort out.

 

It's not the page rank necessarily it's all the people I see time and time again saying "whens the next page rank update" has it happened, when is it going to happen, page rank question....

I myself could care less about page rank. Page rank is just really misleading especially to new folks who think page rank will make their site jump in the serps and it is just not true....

Worry about your serps and let page rank go!!!!

Also I predict it will be gone in the next year...as far as people actually knowing what their page rank is but it will still exist to Google it's just people wont know what their pr is like the supp tag.

 

The OP has truly been 'round the block once or twice, he knows what he is saying. SEO'ing has been around since before PR, and it will remain shall it ever leave. PR means nothing. I have PR 1 sites with amazing serps, and pr 5 websites still in the sandbox .

 

You write like if PageRank and the serps are TOTALLY unrelated...

 

I agree pagerank is nothing to do with quality.
not all wikipedia articles has the highest rank but everybody know their quality

 

Think about it. If you and others are aware of this paid-link silliness, don't you think Google is, too? Watch the next few PR toolbar updates and see if Google hasn't made some adjustments to diminish or discount the PR value of paid links.

 

I like to see the PR value of a site simply because it shows how much "trust" Google has in the page I'm viewing. It can also be useful as a benchmark in optimization campaigns. I view PR as one small tool on my SEO workbench. It's a great benchmark, but doesn't really mean anything. SERPs, traffic, and growing my sites through good content development are the things I focus on.

But, you're right, the "when is the next PR update?" and "why doesn't my PR6 site rank well for X keyword?" questions are beginning to really get on my nerves.

 

I'm starting to believe the number of 'pagerank' posts tells a lot about the quality of a webmaster forum. Kind of an inverse proportion kind of thing...

 

Well, how do you build links with a non existent pagerank then? in my field its impossible, hardly anyone will exchange links unless you have a pr4+ site....so to me its very important...especially for that factor which is the main SERP driver....
