I imagine Rand had been getting quite sick of answering so many questions about PageRank and its (un)importance when it comes to SEO. So so so many people still think obtaining PageRank is the be all end all in this game, and that’s the last thing you should be worrying about. In this day and age, it’s all about great content and a well built website to make the rest follow. Rand does a really bloody good job of explaining the system for anyone else out there still wondering what to make of it all.

Google PageRank Explained For Modern Times
December 2008 PageRank Update?
I’ve been hearing chatter down the pipeline about a Google PageRank update in the works. There has been reports of a lot of people losing their PageRank, so I’m hoping everyone is getting smarter when it comes to building links. It is only getting tougher out there and that’s why I try and promote quality link building to make sure you keep on moving ahead. I know PageRank is not much of a factor these days, but I still change my mind on that if your site hits the Page Rank 5 and up range. I’ve been building up this site nicely and I haven’t seen movement in my PageRank for a long time, but I’ve seen a lot of positive movement within the SERPs, so I must be doing something right! If you check out my backlinks profile you’ll notice I keep things tight, and try and get links from related sites only. So if you’ve seen any movement within your PageRank let us all know so we can see if something bigger is going on!
