Don't Expect Any PageRank Updates, Says Matt Cutts

After my post about how people really want to find Matt Cutts, Matt kindly poked in on things at DigitalPoint Forums. In the thread, he is quoted as saying that you should not expect any PageRank updates:

As far as the toolbar PageRank, I definitely wouldn't expect to see it in the next few days. Probably not even in the next couple weeks, if I had to guess.

This thread was picked up by the MarketFederation blog and has become a topic of discussion on Sphinn.

The response is overwhelmingly unanimous to remove PageRank altogether. Some members are just totally overwhelmed by the amount of PageRank updates; they want it to cease existing so that they don't have to hear about it anymore.

This isn't surprising. Maybe Google is listening to the PageRank removal feedback and is secretly seeking out PageRank alternatives. That doesn't sound like a bad idea.

Forum discussion continues on Sphinn. Additional coverage on related topics (Google banning directories) has also been discussed.

People place too much value on pr, but I would be lying if I said pr isn't a big deal to me.

Yes i prefer to get traffic rather than higher PR.Although higher PR gives good search engine ranking,i am always busy to get traffic from all the sources.

Alot of people rely on PR for link exchanges and such. Many many people will not exchange links with you if you have pr0.

One of my sites has pagerank movement on some of the inner pages. The inner pages went from pr0 to pr3. The homepage is still pr4. :mad:

I focus more on traffic as well, but it does help to have pagerank sites pointing to yours to rank better in SERPs for natural traffic to your site.

So does that mean that there is a chance that PR will be removed. That is great news for me because I do not want a high PR or people and search engines to rank my sites with the help of PR. Search engines should rank the sites according to the quality of contents.
