谷歌将删除工具栏的PageRank

要是大家有google网站管理工具的朋友,不妨上网站管理工具,看看之前熟悉的那查看PR更新情况的页面是否存在?
是的,现在该页面不存在的了，在去年的时候风采依扬就有感觉到google的排名算法开始慢慢的放弃把PageRank列入算法中，今天google相关工作人员已公开说谷歌将删除工具栏的PageRank，PageRank不会列入算法中，以下是原文：

We’ve been telling people for a long time that they shouldn’t focus on PageRank so much; many site owners seem to think it’s the most important metric for them to track, which is simply not true. We removed it because we felt it was silly to tell people not to think about it, but then to show them the data, implying that they should look at it. :-
