“As the Internet and our
understanding of the Internet have
grown in complexity, the Toolbar
PageRank score has become less
useful to users as a single isolated
metric. Retiring the PageRank
display from Toolbar helps avoide
confusing users and webmasters
about the significance of the
metric.”

Websites still matter. Is it mobile friendly? Do you have keywords in your title tags? Since links are so critical, you have content to help you get them right? Since links matter it’s likely internal links matter, what about those?
