Anyone paying attention to this? "Google has said outdated numbers, bug-ridden updates and more are behind the impetus to drop PageRank from the Google Toolbar. The data will still exist, but simply not appear to Toolbar users." from: http://www.marketingvox.com/archives/2007/08/15/google-considers-dropping-pagerank-feature/ also see: http://www.searchenginejournal.com/goodbye-google-pagerank/5465/
I never liked the pagerank on the toolbar. If you read the fineprint when you install the toolbar, they record all the websites you visit when you activate that toolbar feature. Do you have the url for that article?
If it's exist and just display old data on tool bar that is unfair . It should be all zero PR in everybody
I believe that if Goog was going to end PR as we know it then they would have no problem announcing it but I do believe that they are going to make some changes!! If you read in the Q3 thread you can read on how many sites went to 0s and others claimed to have inner page PR changes including me. They are just trying to tighten up the screws is all!! That is my opinion! That's ok, We will figure that out whatever they do next! huh??
I had one inner page increase. Otherwise nothing. I don't care if they get rid of PR, but I don't know how SEO will be measured other than the SERPs (which is really most important anyway). Many will feel a bit lost without it though, wondering aimlessly in cyberspace.
I do enjoy building PR but the clients that I work with care about one thing and that is getting their site in the Top Position in their desired search terms as do I!! I would miss it but no biggie!! But again, I believe the little green meter will be doing its thing here shortly!!
Oh No! The directory owners and text-link sellers house of cards empire will collapse! Actually little would change. People will just develop more page strength / link strength tools. And base things off of the more accurate of them. IMO
I don't think that the directories and other would fall at all!! I don't care what Google does, they cannot change popularity and people know how to measure popularity that are in to building their strength in positions!! Personally, I think that if that happened, people that buy crap fake PR links would be deceased by a bunch and thats good! For the record though: I want the export to juice up my meter!!!!!!!!!!
I believe if they will drop the PageRank it's not going to happened soon because it will take them time to come with a new a logarithm.
Awh they should keep updating the google page rank toolbar. It was a nice program just gotta make sure its bug free!
