It's definitely going to be taken seriously by some webmasters. But for me, I doubt it's going to actually change. It's so stable that I wouldn't be worrying about it if I were any type of search engine company. Yugo,
It is good to know when you are getting links from another sites or from article writing. (like below)
That would be true, if PR ever starts to fade. And that will, as the old saying goes, "separate the men from the boys". Those who know how to adapt to changing conditions in the business world are those who continue to succeed.
I think Google should study what would be the name of the page rank's next generation. Google spends millions of dollars just to get Page Rank copyrighted.
All he's saying is that the term 'page rank' seems so absolute but it in reality it is just one factor out of many. The term page rank is very misleading i think and people get far to concerned with it when picking sites to link with etc. A re-branding of PR is definately a good plan.
I think they have to change in line with the changes in search engine algo. Since Google Caffeine is a major rewrite, I think it is high time Google rewrites Pagerank.
From my point of view, PR should not be changed, because PR is copyrighted by Google and Google already spends millions of dollars just to copyright "page rank".
As per the first paragraph of the article, they will just change the name of Page Rank. Well, as long as my site is getting good traffic, I'm ok.
Try out alexa traffic stats i know its not all that accurate, but "something is always better than nothing"
If the page rank is removed and how can we measure the website potential. and seo mainly depends on page rank and keyword rankings
Pagerank has been one of the large trusted benchmark of a websites status, discontinuing it wont be in googles interest as it is for googles pagerank that many many web publishers strive hard. Maybe they would just change the name because discontinuing pagerank would mean partially disconnecting with SEO
Don't think they gonna remove this feature but instead, improve them? Can't imagine how webmasters can survive without PR
