Google PageRank Still Holds Fascination For Most

It’s true, despite the number of times that people “in the know” have said “PR doesn’t matter anymore”, it doesn’t really stop anyone’s fascination with the Little Green Bar. PageRank has been one of the greatest accomplishments in another form of PR (Public Relations) in the last 10 years. You take a proprietary formula and make it something that everyone’s interested in. That is the engine on which Google has built their business: free marketing through word-of-mouth.
The PageRank is hopelessly outdated by the time it hits the Toolbar. It’s a “snapshot” that is many months out of date. For this reason, it’s very tough to use the Toolbar as a visual tool to help determine rankings. It’s better to consider it to be a form of entertainment. Does this stop it from being of utmost importance to some people?
I actually don’t use the Toolbar anymore, but when the updates come, I still am curious to check. The current update is still rolling along, but should be complete soon.
