I know that no one has really reported about this issue but it just a well known fact that it no longer works. However, it really makes me wonder why no one has actually contacted Google and tried to get this service back up and running. Google Pagerank is know for providing a basic authority ranking for their search engine, these days it probably has not as much affect on search results as it previously had, but it is still very important. Can someone get this back up and working!! ]]> http://crenk.com/google-pagerank-predictors-havent-been-working-for-long-times-maybe-business-opportunity/feed/ 1 Alexa Ratings Algorithm Changed http://crenk.com/alexa-ratings-algorithm-changed/ http://crenk.com/alexa-ratings-algorithm-changed/#comments Thu, 17 Apr 2008 11:39:37 +0000 Steven Finch http://crenk.com/?p=527

It has been reported by the guys over at Techcrunch that Alexa has changed the algorithm for their ratings. Alexa announced that they are pulling in more sources than just the Alexa toolbar and that they have also improved their methodology.

This has all come as a pleasant change. For a long time Alexa has been criticized because of their ratings and the fact that they are just completely made up and not really relevant. There has been a lot of sites that have take a huge hit, main example is DailyBlogTips.

In the race for providing the most accurate stats of websites for free, I still think Compete and Quantcast are a long way ahead of Alexa, but these changes might make a huge change in how relevant the popularity numbers actually are.
