There is NOT a PR Update going on!

You can still check ur PR guys, but your site should be added in google dir.

 

That's not gonna be much comfort for people who don't already have a Google Directory listing, though...

 

I'm waiting for a press release from google today. If not there is a technical problem.

http://www.google.com/intl/en/press/index.html

 

are they really removing the Page Rank effect or just removing it from thier tollbar?

 

Do Google has its own directory? I thought google is using the dmoz?

 

I think they just disabling the PR in the toolbar... Google may still use it in their algo..

 

No it is still supplied by DMOZ

 

Why?Most SEO use it to as a tool in link building

 

So does it mean that i shhoul d be listed in dmoz to be able to check my PR?

just like seodehli said

 

Using PR as your means of evaluation was always a flawed practice. I for one welcome the change as before PR, links were based on the factors that actually matter.

I also can't wait to expand my advertising budget as now prices will actually be based on relevancy and unique visitors. No more wasted money on webmasters who inflate their prices.

 

Why bother? You have to let go

 

I think it's irrelevent, it's just a statistic, does it really make a difference? Will we change the way in which we market our sites and go about our business? Probably not.

 

the only people who are going to really suffer is people who sell links based on pr, but i dont think they will care since they have already made such as a nice profit.

 

Anyway... I should wait and see until what google is up to...

After that then should do my assignment again in SEO

 

I honestly don't think it's anything more than a technical hitch. Peoples lives revolve too much around computers, go outside and take a deep breath, it's only a number!

 

you are very funny minstrel

 

I basically look at everything like advertising in general. You cannot really drive yourself crazy with link strategies and so on. Algorithms do change and starting over again and again is not my cup of tea. Certain methods work always and on several levels at the same time. I am more about buying advertising on sites which give you exposure and beneficial links at the same time.

 

Good post, once I understood it.

I agree, GreenWood. You can evaluate a good site by the frequency of the cache update, since the more Googlebot visits, the more likely the cache will be fresh, and will continue to be fresh.

 

lol just saw this. How ignorant. Your state of mind is showing more and more.

 

I would love them to bring back toolbar PR with a 1-100 range, now that would be cool.
