CostPerNews: Does PageRank Still Matter?

  • Matt Coddington · 12 months ago
    Page Rank has never mattered outside of link sales. And the only reason it mattered then was because it was a convenient catchall way to identify link value for the lazy.

    Google knows it's PR system is too effed (for the reasons you mentioned among others) to have any real use, so worrying about it is a complete waste of time.

    I would much rather google again hide the pagerank values for all websites. What exactly is gained for them to expose this data other than people trying to sell links and increase perceived site value?
  • Sam Harrelson · 12 months ago
    Good point. It is nice for personal vanity reasons (and to help explain why
    some things get ranked above others).

    But yeah... damn marketers ruin everything.

    Long live Page Rank!
  • Jim Kukral TheBizWebCoach · 12 months ago
    I actually agree with you. It's pointless. Google has taken great steps to make it so.
  • Sam Harrelson · 12 months ago
    Yep, agreed.

    However, PR is completely wrapped up in the workings of the web (at least on
    the advertising side). Explaining to affiliate managers, marketing
    directors, etc that PageRank is pretty worthless is a difficult task.

    I tend to agree, ONLY because my blog's PR is 2... yet my twitter page's PR is freakin' 9... something ain't right...

    I think page rank still does matter. Its just most webmaster now are on gaining traffic, traffic is the first priority for now then next is pr.

    I think pr is still matter, most are waiting for the pr updates. But for me the most important is to gain traffic for the site.
