22/09: Google Page Rank Rumours Abound

For a long time I've been of the opinion that Google's Page Rank had turned around and bitten them. It's not that it was a bad idea per se, just that it was surely obvious that people would find ways to subvert it. After the "NoFollow" attribute was introduced, the signs were there that Google was fighting a rear guard action in an attempt to recover some sort of credibility for the system.

Rumours are now rife that page rank, at least in its present form, will soon be no more.  Over at CashQuests they have gone as far as publishing  their opinion that Page Rank Is Already Dead. Linkbait or genuine concerns?

Whatever the truth, I think the long silence on updated page rank speaks volumes. If it really is the death knell for the familiar old "friend" of SEO'ers and webmasters everywhere, it will be interesting to see how Google move forward. I think whatever they do is certainly long overdue, and hopefully whatever moves may or may not be afoot will be positive and beneficial for searchers and webmasters. I think a lot of people are waiting with baited breath..........

If Google does abandon their famous Page Rank, a lot of people who worked hard to get their rank will likely be pretty upset about it. I very recently sold a couple PR3 domains with almost no traffic on them for a good price based completely on the page rank, so I haven't seen the web at large fearing any change. Time will tell.

Thanks for stopping by "LB" and good luck with the new blog. Abandoning the current PR formula will certainly affect a lot of webmasters and businesses, but maybe it's time for a shake up.

Many will certainly be holding their breath.
