Research: Google Answers PageRank IS NOT an Opinion
Posted by chris on Saturday, January 25 @ 06:41:52 EST
Research in to SEO issues Well, as I still can't my head around the Google PageRank opinion question I figured I'd turn to Google's resource for answering questions. Google Answers!

I posed the question:

Is Google's PageRank (TM) an opinion or an objective measurement

You can read it here

Now before anyone points out that it's just a researchers answer (maybe opinion? :-) ), I know - I'm just playing with them!

I particularly like the way they managed to get virtually every PageRank paper in to the answer with the exception of PageRank Uncovered (by myself and Mike Shishigin. :-) And missed the discussions on it that would have been apparent running this query on Google.

There's no arguing with me now, it says right on Google's site:

So, in essence, the answer to your quetion is that PageRank is an objective measurement in that it is using a number, in this case the number of outbound and inbound links, to determine the number.

So what rating should I give them? I'm going to leave it up to you - whatever the voting is on this article on the support forums site at the end of the week is the rating they get!
