Goo.glicio.us - No more PageRank updates, Hello PageRate!
Waiting for PR Update
Everyone in SEO world waiting for PR update and also waiting for increasing ranking of their promoted websites. But last Google PR update was almost half of an year ago. Why the Google People do not care about SEO Experts?
What did Matt Cutts said concerning subject?
“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.” (Sep. 07, 2007). As you could see SERPs bouncing around you could figure Google is probably working on their new and improved algorithm that will cut the SERPs affected by paid links and sort websites that bought PR from those that actually earned it.
Rumor about new Ranking
Maybe this are only rumors, but sure is that Google is going to change a lot of things. In a move to shift more towards the PageRate system, the new Google Toolbar already allows people to Vote on Web Pages that they see. Those of you that have already installed the old Google Toolbar should uninstall and then reinstall this NEW BETA VERSION HERE. It comes with the voting functions in the form of simley faces. As with everything else Google. The rating system is not enabled on default setting. You will need to click on the Google logo, then select “Toolbar Options” from the drop down list. When the options page loads in your browser, check the “Voting Buttons” choice. You will then get the smiley and sad faces by which to vote with. Oh of course, you’re also going to need to agree to their new privacy policy which allows information to be sent to them via your browser.
Google users will also be able to go to the new “Float It” site where they may rate sites already rated by other Googlers. Once on Float It, readers are encouraged to examine pages other Floaters have submitted and vote to either “Float It” or “Sink It”, thereby helping to bring exposure to the truly deserving web pages.
Goo.glicio.us
For those Googlers who want to be able to return to the pages they really liked, Google has developed Googlicious. Googlicious is a social bookmarking community that allows users to connect and share their favorite pages.
Conclusion about Google 2.0
In a nod to Web 2.0 and in an effort to make the Google experience more user-centric, Google will end the system of assigning each web page a Page Rank based on an algorithm of links, quality and popularity. Instead, each page will have a Page Rate assigned by the readers.
Page Rate will be established by the installation of an attractive voting widget on each page allowing readers to click either an up or down arrow to show approval or disapproval of the page’s content. After clicking the arrow of choice, the reader will be prompted to leave a comment about the page they just voted for. While all users are allowed to vote, only those logged into their Google account will actually have their votes counted or be allowed to comment.
