Google PR For Entertainment Purposes Only

Ponomo asked 3 years ago
http://forums.searchenginewatch.com/showthread.php?t=3054

The member said that he emailed Google asking why a page’s PageRank is zero and he got the following response from Google.

The PageRank that is displayed in the Google Toolbar is for entertainment purposes only. Due to repeated attempts by hackers to access this data, Google updates the PageRank data very infrequently because is it not secure. On average, the PR that is displayed in the Google Toolbar is several months old. If the toolbar is showing a PR of zero, this is because the user is visiting a new URL that hasn’t been updated in the last update. The PR that is displayed by the Google Toolbar is not the same PR that is used to rank the webpage results so there is no need to be concerned if your PR is displayed as zero. If a site is showing up in the search results, it doesn’t not have a real PR of zero, the Toolbar is just out of date.

There has been speculation for a long time that the PR on the toolbar was inacurate. I’m sure the link sellers don’t want people to see this.

Well, that explains why my PR is stuck despite all kinds of positive changes are happening.

Long live Yahoo search!

Rank good in yahoo, but not google – google sucks!
Rank good in google, but not yahoo – yahoo sucks!
Rank good in yahoo and google – youve got nothing to post about!
Rank poorly in yahoo and google – you suck!

FTR – Google is head and shoulders above Yahoo in pretty much every area!

Any ideas on why Google is taking so long? How often do they update the index? (Obviously not as often as Yahoo and the others). And one last question — does Yahoo have a Page Rank system?

Yahoo has exactly one page from your site. Google has seen the main page URL but not drilled down into it. You probably need more links. Google updates its index usually more than once a day. Yahoo updates every six weeks or so. Google crawls at least 10 times as much as Yahoo, probably over twenty times as much.

(I’d also check your html, your graphics aren’t loading, for example.)

Interesting information, Ponomo! Thanks for posting that.

I have to agree with Dominique and LasVegasLady — Yahoo seems to be the best search engine out there right now (for the moment), and Google really does suck. I launched my first website nearly a month ago, and it still hasn’t been spidered by Google. Yahoo, MSN, Jeeves, and a few others found the site within 2 weeks of the launch date. Any ideas on why Google is taking so long? How often do they update the index? (Obviously not as often as Yahoo and the others). And one last question — does Yahoo have a Page Rank system?

I think the whole of Google is merely for “entertainment purposes only”.

You have to admit … as far as search results anymore .. it’s a JOKE ! :rolleyes:
