What Happened to Google PageRank Update?
By David on Aug 11, 2007 in Community, Google, Search Engine Optimization, Webmaster's Resources
Right now, thousands of webmasters are asking this very question. Did the PageRank toolbar export already complete leaving many of us in the dark as to our near-current PR values that we have worked so hard to get. Is Google moving towards the elimination of reporting the PR on their toolbar. Adam Lasnik, a Google employee who works closely with webmasters, dropped in on the Webmaster World forum and was hinting towards this very move by Google. He went so far as to ask members what they would like to see in place of the PR values.
I doubt if Google will do this, but if the data they export is outdated and at times inaccurate, why have it there to begin with. We all know that quality backlinks is the key to ranking well in the SERPs (Search Engine Ranking Pages) and that will not be changing. The patented PageRank will continue in the algorithms, of course. But maybe this will be one added ingredient to “Google’s secret sauce”.
In a few hours, Google Adwords control panel will be offline for 4 hours for system maintenance. Will they use the extra resources to push the export? We’ll have to wait and see…
Update: Still no changes as of 1:09am Sun Aug. 12th
