The end of Pagerank? Google removes PR from Webmaster Tools Pagerank has been a point of discussion throughout the years. It must be clear for many now that Pagerank doesn't really matter when it comes to ranking. Still many feel it is an important aspect in measuring the strength of your website. SER talked to Google Susan Moskwa who said: "We've been telling people for a long time that they shouldn't focus on PageRank so much; many site owners seem to think it's the most important metric for them to track, which is simply not true. We removed it because we felt it was silly to tell people not to think about it, but then to show them the data, implying that they should look at it. :-)" Google apparently already removed it earlier this week when it released new Webmaster Tools Labs features.

I think PageRank will always have an internal function in Google's search algorithms. It's just becoming less important, and Google wants us to know that (or at least wants us to think that it's less important).

Quite why folks put some much store in an overly simplified 1-10 scale was always a mystery to me. No doubt the internal structure will remain behind the scenes to aide the algorithm, but the physical representation has been redundant for some time in truth.

I agree with Barry. It will always be part of Google. And focus on PR is already shifting. Its like the Alexa rank, you know its not accurate and can't be trusted, but its nice to see the high numbers ;-)
