Disappointed Over Google PR Update – iWebTool Lies

googleYesterday I was checking out a few entrepreneur forums (as usual) and I really wanted to know about what Pagerank other webmasters had for their sites – so I made a post in YE.com here.

Coincidentally, straight after I asked when the next PR update would be, Problogger informed me that Google would be updating their records over the next few days. He pointed me to SEOChat’s predict tool which to my disappointment showed me that the bots were giving me a predicted PR4 after the update.

I posted a while back how I was excited about achieving a predicted PR6 through a tool (made by iWebTool.com) on the internet which told me the good news. Now however, I have realised that it was a lie, and one which was off the track by 2 levels of PR. This has made me annoyed and a little sad as it has destroyed my hopes of being able to monetize this site successfully with TLA.

This has made me wonder why such a tool is top of Google Rankings for the search term “Pagerank predict” if it cannot truly predict the future. I think this type of tool is like trying to predict an earthquake, you can get close but still be out by a long way. A lot of people keep telling me that Pagerank is a factor of the past for ranking well in search engines, however I still think it still is a good factor to determine the popularity of a site.

For a 3 month old site though, Im happy with the progression of Blogtrepreneur, but I’ve still got a long way to go before this site becomes mainstream and before it can get near the top of search engine rankings.

P.S. If you want a good tool which shows Live Pagerank check out this tool!
