I agree it will be interesting to see if Technorati can take on Google. I suspect they are biting off more than they can chew and should stick to what they know best - the blogosphere.

It's been a long road and with respect to SEO I think it definitely has lost value as an indication of site strength with respect to Google over the past 3 years. It still is a great, simple indication of a site's rapport with Google and its link profile however. I think ulitmately people should not chase page rank as much as they should chase a top Google ranking for relevant kw's, and gladly the steps you mentioned for achieving a higher PR should result also in a higher SERP position. And watch out for that Google Toolbar - it's just another way for Google to collect data. Hey Andy, interesting to hear someone talking about PR again.

I've been trying to find a statement in the UK press recently from Eric Schmidt about Google wanting to collect so much data it can predict your daily activites, but alas I couldn't find it - even with the power of Google. Interesting to hear your thoughts on the dwindling value of PR though. I'm hoping my efforts to increase PR will as you suggest also help my SERP, but there is a definite need to work on my keyword strategy. Google just loves collecting data.

What many people don't realize is that PR is continuously updating internally for Google. Basically the update is just what they show on the toolbar to users. There is rarely if ever any significant movement in the SERPs correlated to a PR update. But just like anybody else I always am anxious to see if PR moved at all.

I'm waiting for the next update and hopefully to see my PR rise. I think for many bloggers it's more of a measure of the quality of their work, rather than necessairly all about SERPs.
