Any time there is a change or a snippet of new information discussions are rampant for days and weeks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It comes as a bit of a surprise to me that there has been almost no discussion about Google rep Matt Cutts' October 2 blog post titled "&lt;a href="http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/more-info-on-pagerank/"&gt;More info on PageRank&lt;/a&gt;".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess people have finally woke up to the idea that Page Rank is now just a very small component of Google's ranking algorithm now. It sure took a long time - we first discussed the &lt;a href="http://www.agentsonline.net/forums/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/64954/page/0/fpart/1"&gt;Death of Page Rank&lt;/a&gt; back in June 2004!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8970881-115999509271333713?l=realwebresults.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://realwebresults.blogspot.com/feeds/115999509271333713/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8970881&amp;postID=115999509271333713' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8970881/posts/default/115999509271333713'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8970881/posts/default/115999509271333713'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://realwebresults.blogspot.com/2006/10/googles-page-rank-is-no-longer-hot.html' title='Google&apos;s Page Rank Is No Longer A Hot Topic'/><author><name>Doug Towes</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16947006222442695131</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='06615081672895351825'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>1</thr:total></entry>
