PageRank to be WebRank
Well I don’t usually follow the page rank situation nowadays but I read a couple articles on other people’s blogs claiming the page rank update had been delayed because the way page rank works is o be changed. Supposedly the new “WebRank” will concentrate more on the content of the website.
The change is going to try to stop links being bought on sites purely for the page rank. Instead links will be bought on traffic details for the website. This means the page rank may show nothing on the google toolbar if the claims are correct. I am currently ignorant as to what the situation is. I will just be waiting to see what happens like the rest of you. It does however seem like a new revolution for the website development world. Instead of boosting our page rank we may be working out ways to fast track the system to get good webrank. All will hopefully be revealed soon. The article which I read can be found: at this website.

It doesn’t sound all that different from how PR works now. It’s the content that gets ranked, and based on specific keywords. If I’m searching for “foo”, I want a PR3 document on “foo”, not a PR5 page that’s mostly about “bar”.

I had actually considered that before posting the article but even if it was I thought it would bring in traffic for me aswell
Also gives me something else to write about. Link bait I would hate to see PR go.
I feel sorry for all the people that have just spent loads paying for high PR links!
Times are always changing. What did owners of web sites do before pagerank was here? They will always find a way.
PR is kind of stupid. People think that it is this amazing thing but it’s really not that important.
the only reason why i’m waiting for PR update for my site is that i can earn more selling links in my site
Did no-one else read the comment about this being link-bait?
FYI, see my post after that one. Its link bait
