All this talk of page rank seems to be the best or worst thing going on in the blogosphere, aside from the MS -> Facebook monies changing hands. I am not sure which side of that coin I fall on (for today at least). Sometimes the idea of page rank and moving up in results because of votes/page views/linked results claimed by spiders seems a good idea. Other times not so much.
Sure if you have lots of links and scrapable content page rank is good. However outside of that it is considerably less valuable.
The algorithm used by Google for page rank computes weightings for links. But is the rumor of a joke better for bloggers than page rank itself? It seems to me that for things on the Internet, the hype tied to the possibility of changes in technology get bloggers excited.
I am not sure what to make of the discussion of Page Rank... truth or rumor. I think the idea of ranking pages based on weighted scale is a great idea, keeping with the thought that one should not need to pay for a link to appear at the top of the list... but still could if they so desired.
This could be the greatest thing for a blogger or writer since the Internet itself. Allowing the number of visits to affect how and where your contents appears on Google seems to even the playing field. Sure you have to create good to great content for Page Rank to make even the slightest difference, but to me it seems to hold a great promise for bloggers...
and in many respects the Internet itself.
