Arg - Pagerank.net is messed up ATM.

someonewhois · May 27, 2005, 17:57

Ahahahaha. I wonder if this is Google or PageRank.net messing it up. It could be Google screwing with the requests from pagerank.net -- or it could just be a programming glitch on pagerank.net's side.

sypher · May 27, 2005, 17:58

seems like google, my tool bar is greyed out for every site. none of the other online tools seem to be working either.

ralsam · Jun 15, 2005, 07:01

hi
i am still wet behind my ears!!
can someone tell me about this pageranking, please?

tntcheats · May 27, 2005, 17:59

I'm figuring it's just a glitch on pagerank.net's side. It's pretty unlikely imho that Google would try messing with another company instead of just telling them to stop using the PR checker.

Maybe we're all finally free from the chains of public PR!

Hopefully so. And thank god I'm not alone on this.

Wow, that is strange..

MaxS · May 27, 2005, 19:31

Strange. My Google PR browser bar seems to be greyed out on every site?

trampt · May 27, 2005, 19:57

its not really strange .. they're either down cause its broken or they're updating.

someonewhois · May 27, 2005, 20:27

If this is still around tomorrow, people will be selling text links "I HAVE A PR67, ONLY $30/MONTH!"

I love speculation. These people obviously fail to realize that even if toolbar PR disappears, internal PR is still going to be used. They didn't spend all that time and money on that algorithm just to can it. On top of that, the person's saying we need to rethink our linkbuilding ideas -- when in fact, links will NEVER be bad.

Stupid people shouldn't be allowed to discuss SEO

From a guy at DigitalPoint:

Quote:

I have theorized that the 302 redirect affects even those not caught in it; it causes links from those caught to be discounted as non-existent or of less importance. I figured when it came time to fix it, they would have to totally dump and recalculate. I think we are seeing the dump.

I think that's so far the best explanation I've seen for it. Who knows what's going on. Interesting, though.

Oh and the next best:

On the other hand, its also possible that the google engineers were bored and looking for something to do this weekend, so they shut down the PR servers as a practical joke and are reading all these threads and laughing.

augathra · May 27, 2005, 22:42

Wow, can't believe PR is probably getting pushed off, guess it's cause I'm a noob to PR.

EDIT: Do you all think SERPs will change drastically?

sid egg · May 27, 2005, 23:10

I've had 98/10 on pr.net too..

sid egg · May 27, 2005, 23:12

Oh, I see, ALL sites at 67/10 right now.

CyberAlien · May 28, 2005, 03:17

Its not only pagerank.net. I'm getting this when I'm using Opera PR plugin:

Forbidden

I hope this is not a glitch on google. I think without PR it will be better for everyone.

Kylecl · May 28, 2005, 03:34

it's all over the net so it's google

*please update* oh god, is pr actually done? 8-)

wrkalot · May 28, 2005, 09:19

I have to admit that if they do dump visual PR, i'm going to miss that cute little green bar. Long Live the Little Green PR Bar!

KLB · May 28, 2005, 09:24

Since the PR graphic is still being displayed in the Google directory, I suspect that PR is still alive and fine, however, Google may have decided to turn of access to PR data to the google toolbar and similar tools.

wrkalot · May 28, 2005, 09:34

It was under the impression the PR in the directory was calculated differently... or at least has a different scale. Do we know how closely the 2 are related? They don't seem to match up very well to the sites I follow.

someonewhois · May 28, 2005, 09:34

From what I know, they have a different scale, but it's the same algorithm. It's all PageRank in the end.

r2d2 · May 28, 2005, 09:47

I think directory PR is out of 8 not 10.

Well, Google.com has width=38 for the green image, and Frogole is 32. I have a width=16, and I had a PR5 on the toolbar. The height is 4, so assuming they're in square blocks, that's a directory PR of 4, and Google.com's would be 9.5, and Froogle an 8.
