Finally…No More PageRank
It’s about time.
This morning, according to a post by Search Engine Roundtable, Google is finally getting rid of the PageRank metric. Finally, I can back up my statement that PageRank is nothing more than useless green pixels.
In the post, Susan Moskwa from Google explained the decision.
“We’ve been telling people for a long time that they shouldn’t focus on PageRank so much; many site owners seem to think it’s the most important metric for them to track, which is simply not true. We removed it because we felt it was silly to tell people not to think about it, but then to show them the data, implying that they should look at it. 
”
Hopefully, this will encourage those new to search engine optimization to explore their site stats beyond more than just looking at PageRank to determine a site’s worth.
