和大多數(shù)站長(zhǎng)一樣，F(xiàn)raiy一直在關(guān)注著所持站點(diǎn)的PR值變化，但近三個(gè)月來(lái)，所管理的十多個(gè)站點(diǎn)(包括企業(yè)站、行業(yè)站、個(gè)人博客、論壇)的PR均未發(fā)生更新。而結(jié)合站長(zhǎng)之家給出的數(shù)據(jù)PR更新數(shù)據(jù)(如下圖)，不禁要問(wèn)一句，PR真的停止更新了嗎?

在 各大搜索引擎檢索Google PR(pagerank)時(shí)發(fā)現(xiàn)，在2010年底曾有烏龍報(bào)道指出PR將停止更新，其中站長(zhǎng)之家在2011年1月5日刊文《Google停止更新PR 采用索引系統(tǒng)Caffeine》，網(wǎng)易科技2010年10月14日刊文《谷歌員工證實(shí)PR值不再更新 換鏈產(chǎn)業(yè)壽終正寢》。類似文章均引用了谷歌工程師Susan Moskwa的一篇發(fā)文(如下圖)：

根據(jù)圖中所提供的信息，找到原文字如下：

2009.10.13詢問(wèn)：

I was doing my daily perusing of our client sites in Webmaster Tools, and I noticed something interesting... The PageRank distribution feature, once found on the crawl stats section under "Diagnostics," is no longer displayed.

Is this a permanent change?

Perhaps public PR is finally going to be dumped?

What say you?

有人發(fā)現(xiàn)在Webmasters Tools中的pagerank參數(shù)不見了，詢問(wèn)是否將取消pagerank?

Susan給出的回答原文是：

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.

My impression is that PageRank in Toolbar is aimed more at the casual browser of sites who wants to get a general feel for the authority of a page. For this reason many people still believe we should leave it in Toolbar. Toolbar isn't primarily aimed at site owners who are looking for precise & reliable metrics that they can judge their site by or make decisions by. That's one reason it made sense to remove it from Webmaster Tools, which is designed specifically for site owners in a way that Toolbar is not. Personally I would love to see us remove PR from the Toolbar, but mine is not the only opinion in Google and the folks I have most contact with--site owners--aren't the only users or stakeholders of Toolbar.

Susan說(shuō)：

我們一直告訴大家不要太注意pagerank，許多站長(zhǎng)都認(rèn)為pagerank是最重要的指標(biāo)，其實(shí)是不正確的，我們把它從webmasters中移除，是因?yàn)槲覀冇X(jué)得既然告訴大家不要去考慮它但又一直顯示它是不明智的。

同 時(shí)Susan給出了自己對(duì)pagerank的看法，她個(gè)人也認(rèn)為不要在Toolbar顯示pagerank。從原文可以看出，當(dāng)時(shí)她并未提及Google 要停止pagerank相關(guān)的服務(wù)，只是說(shuō)將Webmasters tools中的顯示移除。固2010年國(guó)內(nèi)轟動(dòng)一時(shí)的PR將停止更新只是一些人斷章取義罷了。

當(dāng)然，從今天反應(yīng)的數(shù)據(jù)來(lái)看，至少在2012年8月份之前所有關(guān)于PR值要停止更新的說(shuō)法都是不實(shí)的。那么，時(shí)至今日，PR值遲遲未更新的狀態(tài)是否又使大家懷疑猜測(cè)，Google將停止PR相關(guān)的服務(wù)呢?

Fraiy 針對(duì)Google PR pagerank 等詞在Google news、Ei village、中國(guó)重要報(bào)紙全文數(shù)據(jù)庫(kù)、哈佛商業(yè)評(píng)論等檢索平臺(tái)搜索近半年來(lái)Google pagerank的相關(guān)信息，未發(fā)現(xiàn)官方平臺(tái)來(lái)源的任何有關(guān)于Google將停止pagerank將停止更新的報(bào)道。就是說(shuō)，至少到目前為 止，Google是沒(méi)有官方公布要停止PR值的更新的。

不過(guò)，正于Susan所說(shuō)，pagerank只是一個(gè)指標(biāo)而已，Google本身在提醒站長(zhǎng)不要過(guò)份關(guān)注pagerank意味著Google在淡化或者已經(jīng)淡化pagerank技術(shù)。那么，作為站長(zhǎng)，我們也應(yīng)該適應(yīng)，在思維上開始逐漸淡化PR值對(duì)網(wǎng)站優(yōu)化運(yùn)營(yíng)方面的影響。原文來(lái)自： ，歡迎訪問(wèn)
