PageRank is dying
At least that what it seems like. With both Problogger and John Chow dropping to a 4 it seems the days of pagerank are numbered. I think it’s been broken for awhile now. Here is a fantastic idea… get rid of it. What does it really do, and who the hell is it to rank my site?
How about we do what we should be doing when selling advertising and use your traffic stats? Who cares about anything else really. It’s your site, you should know what your stats are. Just go from there and sell your ads.
Now I realize that it’s easier if everyone has the same set of numbers to go by, but it’s broken and can be screwed around with anyway. Look at this site, we still don’t even have a pagerank yet, and it looks like we never will.
Google already has enough control over the internet anyway right?

I agree! PR seems to be a concept for mass markets. What about niche blogs/sites? Of course everyone won’t want to comment on Balinese Nasi Campur recipes…but for the people who do, it’s pretty darn important.

I agree with you. Page Rank doesn’t seem to be popular anymore. The main aim should be to get quality traffic and converting those traffic into money and PR does little help in getting traffic !

PageRank isn’t important at all ….
Until you lose it.
I bet those people who say it isn’t, if you offered them a jump of two points tomorrow in exchange for [insert heavy price here], would say YESSSSSS!, with alacrity.

google become more arrogant these days, I really hope others competitor could at least make a fight to google domination. whats thee wrong with selling our own link? all people get their portions..
by the way, if the PR get irrelevant anymore than dont bother, google will find out the way to keep their domination to manipulate us to a new similar “PR thing stuff” and me us stick with it. we live in google rules right now..
sigh, where is freedom?

Page rank factors are many but the most common factor is the link popularity which means the measure of quantity and quality links from other websites. So we need to consider this.
