Google PageRank Will Probably Never Update Again

Google PageRank Will Probably Never Update Again

Someone asked a question about PageRank in today’s Webmaster Hangout.  While we had a surprise PageRank update in 2013, which was a surprise update when Google fixed something else, there hasn’t been any change since then.  But people still ask about it.

A couple things to note.  Google does use and update PageRank internally for their search rankings.  But it is specifically the external PageRank that the public sees that he is discussing.

The specific question was someone complaining they lost PageRank and haven’t seen it update after they switched from HTTP to HTTPS.  Mueller replied that it is likely that PageRank won’t ever update again.
