Quite a few have now read the blog on PR and whether it has any psychological affect on directory owners. Combining this with a poll (answered only by a few) there's a partial follow up on it. You can read it in my sig or here. It would be good if people came out of their shells and contributed to this little study on PR because it could lead us to playing a more important role on how it develops rather than it dictating to us as it is at present. Remember, a lot of you are far more qualified as experts than Google are when it comes to what should and could benefit a directory, they just think they are.
Thanks, I hope people take the chance to give their input, but judging by the amount of people who've already read it they won't, they're afraid to. To the anonymous idiot who posted a reply stealing the blog's content, take it down, its copyright and not for use without asking. Oh, btw, I've reported your adsense number which you spammed in your reply. FOOL
This PR effect and posts about it and its relation with directory owners being posted and being the talk of the town is turning overboard now! Frankly its just getting too boring to keep seeing this PR talks everywhere. Can we talk something else please?
haha you will see this threads about the PageRank & Directories every week, or even more often. Just like the trolls who are announcing their directories on the wrong category.
Is that right, then don't read it. You've got eyes, look at something, choose not to read it and move on. I do with half your posts. @hyper; I'm no troll, and the subject of PR hasn't been discussed nearly enough. I guess as one of those who still believes PR is vital to get custom your bound to disagree with the blog. I haven't even started yet so you'd better get used to it, you've got a chance to defend your views, if you don't want to instead choosing to hide behind comments like 'this is getting boring' just like humm posted then that's your call.
I never said you are a troll so don't get me started. Regarding those threads with the PageRank & Directories even if we do not like them, it is a serious part of the game. I have nothing against these threads, but I would like to exist only one such a thread made sticky and NOT dozens of them after each PageRank update. It is not the topic who aggravates me, it is the number of threads & the way ppl are displaying the whole problem.
I guess you don't understand whats spoken generally, I didn't address it specifically to your blog post. Anyways it looks like I will have to follow the advice you posted above with all your post if your improper understanding problem continues.
Then why do you shoot down and personally attack everyone that has anything negative to say about your contributions? This is a public forum and just like you have the right to spout off about what you think is correct, other folks have a right to criticize it. Attempting to belittle them shows the weakness and lack of confidence in your position. I agree that there is far too much talk about PR and this constant dwelling on PR only causes to magnify the existing problem. PR has always been a poor measure of site quality because it (visual PR) was outdated from a few weeks to a few months at all times and it was very easy to manipulate. The fact that Google has latched on to this very imperfect rating system and is now using it to punish masses of webmasters is nothing short of idiotic.
