Well the Google Page Rank tool might be taking it’s last breath and I think that’s okay. It was never really accurate in depicting how visible a website was on the SERP pages anyway. It was always a way for website and business owners to feel good about the work they were doing in promoting the website but there was never a clear connection to the effectiveness of a website when it came to local search. I’ve seen many page rank 2 websites locally that had zero ranking when it came to the related keywords and page rank 0 websites that were on page one, position one so how effective was the ranking anyway.
