It has been close to a year since Google released an update to Google PageRank but that changed today. Google’s Matt Cutt’s has confirmed via a Twitter post. Many in the industry thought PageRank was just being phased out and for good reasons with 10 months since the last update.

If you are unfamiliar with what Google PageRank is you can view the past video that Matt Cutts did on Google Webmaster Help YouTube Channel about PageRank.

PageRank is a ranking of sites based strictly on the number of links to your website and the quality of those links. It has nothing to do with the quality of your website or the content on the site, it only factors in links and their quality.

Google assigns a numeric weighting from 0-10 for each webpage on the Internet; this PageRank denotes your site’s importance in the eyes of Google.
