I think if more of us speak out like Danny and Rand do Google will be listining to what we have to say instead of dishing it out and calling it the only food in town!

I like how Matt C. does it, he does not beat around the bush like Smiling MiniMe…

Keep up the good working in analyzing Google speak!

I in no way, shape, or form, believe that PageRank will always stay around as those little green pixels. I firmly believe that Google will most likely drop visible PageRank. I do believe, however, that PageRank will still be the core to how Google search functions and operates.

I never said that I believe it will always be a visible metric to the world. I did take what Adam said, in a mindset of exactly that. PageRank may exist, but probably only for Google internal uses.

So I would take everything he says with a big grain of salt.

I would not be surprised if PageRank will go the way of the supplementary and link exchange, while it will still be there and used by Google algorithm it will not be displayed in the famous green bar of Google tool bar…

I see what you’re saying and I do agree. But far too often people are too focused on their PageRank when they need to be worried about writing quality content. Why? Links will come if you have quality content.

Yes, you do need ensure that you are marketing properly, but too many people spend time on saying “Oooo I have a PR5!!” or the like. I have seen time and time again that sites with quality content and lower PageRank will often rank higher in the search results than those with higher PageRank. PageRank is only part of the solution, it’s not the end-all.
