is it going to happen? 1 month overdue already.. and plenty of talk that G are scrapping PageRank… this will of course hit a lot of link-sellers in the neck..
thoughts?
google have created a “google pagerank economy” – are they about to pull the rug out from under peoples feet now?When do you think we are going to nitice a change in all the listings has anyone seen any more in detail reports of whats happening please post
I dont think its going to happen at all, as everyone has mentioned. Besides for link selling purposes it seems rather useless.

I’d like to hear what someone like Randy has to say about this… but I have suspected for a while that Google has not put as much importance on pagerank as they did in the past…. hmmmm
lol.. no Randy does not work for Google, that I am aware of.
I just have a tremedous amount of respect for his SEO knowledge and advice!
forget knowledge and advice I’ll listen to someone with RESULTS…
as for mr x and mr y’s thoughts on this – it matters not – only the boys at G know what is happening, anything else is wild speculationLOL… I dont think I intimated that YOU should listen to him or anyone else! :wink-wink
I’m curious what he has to say… whether or not you are is inconsequential to me! :3eyes:
lol everyone waiting for PR update, hehehe
As I posted in another thread, my site dropped from pr3 to zero about a week ago and it hasn’t budged. I’ve been digging around the seo forums and the buzz is that sites linking out to irrelevant sitesf or link exchange or are suspected of purchasing one way links are being HEAVILY penalized. When I first launched, I did some of these exchanges with pretty much any site willing to give me a back link, not knowing any better. I subscribe to Link Machine, Link Metro and Link Market, and even though for at least 8 months now I have only swapped with other gambling related sites, I still have some old links up that I checked by hand to be sure they were still linking back and to make sure they weren’t a ‘bad neighborhood’ i.e. link farm, but are nonetheless are irrelevant. I’m thinking this may be the culprit.
IBP, the second most popular and IMHO most powerful seo software, has also had their pages downgraded to zero and also the pages at WebCEO.com

I haven’t really paid much attention to when the toolbar PR gets updated for a while now. It’s only a snapshot of what the PR was at some point in the past anyway, so it’s not hugely important to me.
I don’t imagine that Google is “ditching PR” though. It’s only one ranking factor of at least 100 ranking factors that they use in their algorithm anyway.
Unless you mean that Google’s decided to stop updating the PR indicated in the toolbar. I guess only the folks at Google know whether or not they’ve decided to do that.
Thanks for the kind words about my SEO knowledge, fatbill. You give me more credit than I probably deserve. :hattip:
