This is cyber world, I don't care about the success of offline business and they're completely off topic here. You might be right about your statement in your opinion, however, I know tons of people who still make hell of a money thanks to PR.
No actually there is no cyber world....the internet is reality, which is the world most humans prefer to live in. offline drives online, and online drives offline. Not knowing this, shows you still have a bit to learn about business of the Internet. Lastly if your statement were true then the removal of PageRank would destroy these businesses???? If so they run poor business models...... Peace.
You don't make any sense. PageRank and offline businesses? How are they related? I didn't say they'd be destroyed if PageRank was removed, I said they were making good money thanks to PR. Peace.
Actually I do, you just do not comprehend.... Walmart Kmart Sears NFL NBA Microsoft SAP 7-11 McDonalds Starbucks All offline businesses that have an online business, yet PR means nothing to them as well. Last I said anyone who builds a business that relies on PageRank is not building a business with sane business strategy. Build a business and you'll find success...... Chase PR and you might as well run in circles...
No-one said PR makes you money It's your design, conversion rate and budget that usually determine this lol - put your handbags away lol
google doing something... I just checked my website search engine rankings and what i saw: two keywords where i was first, one droped to 27 and another to 74 possition, also there were more drops. yahoo rankings haven't changed. Thats really strange because last time i checked before 7-10hours.
http://www.smartpagerank.com/ is returning error, too. Yesterday it was running just fine. Something might be happening.
Actually azzmunch Leet and I make more money in a month than you make in a decade. We disagree at times but there's a reason for it..... Your question is one of the reasons.......pages of speculation that cannot be answered..... and yet you ask too...... .
My question would have no speculation seeing I asked if anyone seen a change. If you seen a change, with your very own eyes, would it still be speculation?
Well lets see Google updates PR internally daily. Google updates PR scores to the toolbar 3 months later. So what you see that changes today... is actually what happened 3 months ago...... What would be the reason for speculation? It's like trying to figure out light years..... If one wanted to be concerned seems it should be about either of two things. 1. Traffic levels. 2. Revenues.
Learn something new everyday lol I didn't know it was behind three months! But I guess it makes sense seeing they aren't forecasting projected page ranks Also I gave up on revenues a long time ago
Well, you have a point there but they're big companies that has already established their names in the market. I'm talking about small businesses. Say directories.. It's all about PR for directories, the higher PR, the more money. Am I wrong? By the way, this is not a cat fight. We're just discussing like 2 adults. Except unnecessary insults such as "azzmunch"..
Seems I owe you an apology since I thought most knew PR was an old data export to the toolbar.... No for the Directory Business Model it is the correct they survive due to PR. But what happens if Google decides to do away with PageRank??? And there are not many other businesses that work the same as Directories......10,000s do not.....think of all the different sites you own that do not "need" PR....it's nice to have but not a need. Affiliate marketers using PPC do not typically worry about PR for example. Leet let me throw you another example. E-bay started as a cyber business but has now spawned into a real world business and has spawned other businesses online and offline. Opposite of many big businesses... but still a very viable...business built none the less. If you think about things you are a business that was started online.... but as you grow you could become a real world business with a brick and mortar office...if that is what you choose but you seem happy as is.... As far as online driving offline, and offline driving online what I mean is.... customers will research large screen televisions online but then go to an offline business to buy the television, and offline televsion commercials, news casts, radio and newpapers, will mention a URL, and people will go online to visit the website,, Hope that helps.
As for directories, if Google decided to take down the PR system, they'd probably be in need of another scale to advertise themselves. I still make lots of money thanks to PR, and that's why I gave directories as an example. I just wanted to explain that although you're right when you say PR is useless, generalizing is not really right as there are still businesses that rely on PR completely.
toolbar PR is same for 10-15 domains that I tried.. So I guess it's just a problem with these websites maybe google detected too many requests and banned their IP
