		<description>Hey Rich, I&#039;ll have a look but I think I heard it on a podcast.
What you said is right though, it is a good indication.. or at least it was. 
They&#039;re always changing how the search algorithm worked, pagerank was essentially using the algorithm and then ranking it with the info, since they&#039;re not updating it anymore it&#039;ll become less and less useful as the same rules may not apply.</description>

		<description>Thanks for your comments Monnie and alexgeek.

And thanks for informing me about the &quot;change&quot; to Google made. Could you provide a link? I just did a little research, I don&#039;t think this is a change but more of a common misconception. A little extract from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.seodesignsolutions.com/blog/seo/does-google-pagerank-affect-seo&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;this page&lt;/a&gt;:

&lt;blockquote&gt;
  While Google PageRank may not bring
  significant SEO value to the table as
  a metric of ranking power or ranking
  potential for a page in the search
  engines. Its significance does allow
  you to determine the extent of two
  facets that do impact search results
  (1) citation and co-occurrence and (2)
  the degree of authority passed from
  other websites.
  
  To elaborate, rankings are produced as
  a by-product of (1) clear intent and
  focus for on page metrics (2) on page
  augmentation from other pages within a
  website (3) validation through peer
  review (getting links from peers,
  authorities or reaching critical mass
  from link diversity and (4) the
  culmination of all 4 metrics (page
  strength) or domain authority.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Anyway, thanks for the comments! :)</description>

		<description>Google recently announced that PageRank does not factor into search results now, though principles still apply I believe.</description>
