With the PageRank downgrade that just happened recently everyone is talking about the negatives and how it affects them etc… I, on the other hand, give you 5 ways you can actually benefit from the PageRank fiasco.
- If your PageRank is above a 4, or equal to it, you can now boast that you have a higher, or similar, PR to ProBlogger.net and CopyBlogger.com.
- You can now uninstall Google Toolbar since the only reason you downloaded it was to check on everyones, and yours, PR. Now that it doesn’t matter anymore you can uninstall it. If you liked the shortcuts that Google provided to their service stop being lazy and just make a special bookmarks folder for them. You now have a de-cluttered browser. {I just uninstalled my Google Toolbar. Wow! I feel so much better}
- You can stop looking for high PR blogs with the Top Commentator plugin installed to leave your comments on. If it still hasn’t hit home yet, PageRank is irrelevant.
- If your blog got hit by a PR downgrade then you will notice that you get less offers for link exchanges. Your inbox will feel so much better thanks to Google.
- You don’t need to write anymore posts on your blog about how to increase your PR, since nobody really cares anymore.

Nice banner. Luckily / Unluckily for me, my blog did not receive a page rank. Not like it matters of course.

hilarious post!
I never believed PR mattered anyway…one of my blogs has a PR of 3 and the other is 0…go figure, they both use wordpress and both talk about money, both link to similar sites and use the same affiliate programs. Yeah, PR is irrelevant…at least it always has been for me. Nice banner.

love me some braveheart. sophie marceau is so hot. seems like everybody is writing jumping on the PR bandwagon. meaning everybody is going to write about it cause thats the cool thing to do. if it doesn’t matter then we probably should write about it.

Good point! I think a lot of people are concerned about PageRank because it determines how much profit that they will make with their blogs. If you are really blogging for the love of it, it won’t matter if you make $1 or $10,000!
