For aspiring Webmasters in the Internet world this has come as quite a shock. Since I started developing websites last year, I have paid quite a bit of attention to a site’s Page Rank.
Suddenly, since from around Friday the PageRank is greyed-out on all websites. Page Rank was used as some kind of ranking for webmasters to value a website.
Supposedly, the higher the rank, the higher the popularity of the site. This site got to a Page Rank of 5 in only a few months.
Anyway it was getting too easy to exploit by spamsters, so I suppose Google has decided to drop it. I think the biggest surprise for people is that the decision has come completely unannounced. They had recently released a new toolbar, without the PageRank feature, but I don’t think anyone noticed.
I think it gets people worried if anything changes to the Google Adsense program.
