Google Pagerank

[retired_member33]

I noticed this morning that no pagerank is showing anymore for any of the sites i visit, has Google stopped it?

There seems to be speculation that they will as their patent apparently expires in 2011

I saw on Twitter yesterday that @MattCutts said the final 2% of Panda was being rolled out in the next couple of days, maybe this is what he meant.

Although initially it will make things a bit more difficult I think it is a good move.

It pretty much kills off the market for link selling, which is one of the things Google have been very vocally opposed to. After all, there won't be a way to distinguish the "value" of different links without pagerank.

Either that or everyone will migrate to SEOmoz's system and they will make a killing.

I assume this is sarcasm

SEOMoz must be rubbing their hands together at the news. It should also add further weight to social elements and the associated metrics.

No sarcasm at all. PageRank was a super-simple scale that was just about "familiar" even to the amateur have-a-go webmaster/small business owner.

SEOMoz probably has about 1% the "mindshare" that PageRank has, at best, so it will be an almost impossible metric to substitute.

Didn't know that existed, now installed on my chrome browser https://chrome.google.com/webstore/...cfffdgphdiccmpknp?hl=en-GB&hc=search&hcp=main

Pagerank tool removed...

Good move G

To say the death of one metric will kill an entire industry is, frankly, ludicrous. The majority of SEO's stopped using PR as a way of determining link value a long time ago. At most it's just a starting point now.

Anyway, it turns out Pagerank isn't dead after all. They have just changed the query used to pull it.

Google takes time to include the back links and rise the PR worth of the web page. PR is the supreme tool for internet, as google share the bigger share in he search engine market.

PR of the web page may drop if the back links are removed or more links are added to the existing back link page.
