Google Change Pagerank System

[stscac]

I am trying to check pagerank at a few different sites and some give me 67/10 and all others give unknown. Just wondering and seeing if i am just having bad luck or if anyone else has gotten this as well?

Yahoo's searches are the most overrated. If I search for my site I get 687,000 results.

I am beginning to think that Google results are overrated. I still use Google if I am looking for something very specific but I find MSN or dogpile more usefull for generalized topical searches.

I wish more people were like you hark! I currently have a site “freefunsurveys.com” that’s still in development and pointing to another of my sites and it’s presently #1 for free fun surveys in MSN serps I realize that my domain name helps but free fun surveys is a good key phrase with an overture of 336684.00 without extension of course and you can’t find it with a search warrant in Yahoo or Google but it’s been #1 in MSN for two weeks now!

It’s quite easy to get to the top of MSN’s serps but it’s very difficult with the two goliaths.


PS. I still get about 50% of search engine traffic from google, it seems that people who aren’t quite sure how to use the address bar type in www.mystupidlittlesite.com at google to find it which I guess proves just how popular google really is!

google should redirect all of that kind of traffic. I do that sometimes by accident (google is my homepage on my laptop, and it is easy to forget you are typing in the search bar). If the search term is a working domain name, it should redirect to that website.

It would be terribly difficult to convince them of that!

PR is back online

Sure is. I posted that in the break room a few minutes ago also. I knew they wouldn't stop it without telling us first.

 

[hotrod12]

Yeah even google has downtime sometimes but at least they are not changing anything right now.

Well something is defenetly up:D

Something strange just happend . I visited the site sabre-hosting.com, using Firefox. I have installed the Google pagerank and alexa rank plugin. When on sabre-hosting.com I noticed that the site in question has a PR of 3

I attached a screenshot

What do you think ?

 

[hotrod12]

Umm what is the problem then?

Yes. You are soo right. Here's a quote from their web site :

The heart of our software is PageRank™, a system for ranking web pages developed by our founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin at Stanford University. And while we have dozens of engineers working to improve every aspect of Google on a daily basis, PageRank continues to provide the basis for all of our web search tools

PR is here to stay! :kickass:

By the way , PR is back on allmost all my sites :D

yes, it is back
but why didn't they change anything?

 

[IAmAllanShore]

No changes on my main sites, from what I can see...
Much ado about nothing?

It was probably just down or they added behind the scene features.

 

[slaughterbeck]

They love it!

Perhaps they just wanted to have a little fun! :blink:

 

[StudioWorks]

I think they have made some changes to their software/alogorithm.

 

[slaughterbeck]

Speak, see and hear no evil. Practice?

I'm sure it's probably something along those lines but I still have a hard time understanding why Google always has to be so secretive especially considering their “No Evil” policy and the fact that this seems to have ruined the holiday of many dedicated SEO aficionados.

[hanz]

it should work. Maybe there is something wrong with it and you should try to install it again.

I'm having no problems with it - try reinstalling.
