@Sam Nichols:The idea behind PageRank was great. In the past, websites were created for the sole purpose of sharing information. In such an environment, the use of the number and quality of incoming links to a site to determine a site’s rank/worth made a lot of sense. Nobody would link to a site with poor content. These days, the situation has changed. The Internet has evolved into a money machine and people are exploiting this back link concept in order to make big $$$. I hope that Google, being Google, are busy working on something to replace or to transform the PageRank concept completely. I have seen people selling links in very hidden and secret ways that cannot be traced by Google. The penalization of link sellers is not helping solve the problem at all.

They built this PageRank myth and now it got bigger and bigger and they can’t figure out a way to stop people buying links. Why they just don’t “kill” the whole PR concept and remove it from their toolbar?

Transparency and google – they are almost never found together. even their help center articles are just so much help. pr drop, google traffic drop – google just keeps doing something and offers no help if one wants to track down the root cause for the action. and more so in case of penalties – u only know you are penalised (becoz the dropped traffic says so) but you never know why you were penalised – so keep guessing, if one guesses correctly great, else you are done for.

Congratulations on the PR 2. I agree with your view. Google should have some communication with us. I guess Google Pagerank is unpredictable.

@Artem:I have seen that as well.But sometimes I have problems with his blog.He uses his personal blog to speak about Google PR.That reduces the weight of whatever he says.That’s why I still hold the view that Google must introduce a PageRank blog, where Matt Cutts and others should be writing this PR stuff.This would be more official.

You can consider Matt Cutts’ blog a PageRank blog. Matt Cutts = PageRank in my eyes. http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/
