So what does this mean for your website and should we care at all?
As a new website just launched in the last few weeks I will be interested to see what pagerank Google gives us especially as we follow all the guidelines like proper do-gooders should do. There have been a large number of people reporting about PR decreases recently so how is this possible unless Google are preparing something to launch soon and the wheels are already in motion with a pagerank change? Or does it mean that Google is slowly removing PageRank? The latter would’nt surprise me as Google looks for new ways and features to rank pages according to what people want to see.
But really, what is the value of PageRank that was assigned almost 8 months ago? Does anyone take any real notice ofthis anymore and if they do is it worth while for something that is clearly out of date?
Im not sure of the answer and it is debateable but think that Google is clearly evolving and the way that we choose to view and select the websites we view is clearly moving on.
What do you think about pagerank and what might come of it?
The History of PageRank
PageRank was developed by Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin at Stanford. At the time that Page and Brin met, search engines typically linked to pages that had the highest keyword density, which meant people could game the system by repeating the same phrase over and over to attract higher search page results. PageRank is patented by Stanford, and the name PageRank likely comes from Larry Page.
