In such a situation the only consideration for advertisers will be the site's traffic. I won't blame Google for being strict about PR. It is the base of their search results ranking algorithm and they should try to improve it and prevent foul plays.

It is only a valuable concept if people reply on it, give it creedance. As more and more advertisers and publishers are moving away from using PR as an indicator, we see more of a focus on traffic. Page Rank is a fallen god in many ways, jealous of its subjects. Page rank is waning in power. It is only a valuable concept if people reply on it, give it creedance.

But I don't think webmasters are going to give the old importance to PR anymore. Almost all are running websites for money. If advertisors asks for dofollow links, then most of the webmasters will be willing to do that. Google may continue to use PageRank for ranking websites.

It is just transforming. It is sorting out and filtering web sites. It does made some mistakes, but lots of them (i.e. PageRank wrong decreases) have been fixed.

The algorithm has just been further adjusted to account for paid links. Hopefully it will get webmasters back to the notion that good, quality sites get rewarded. I seriously doubt PageRank is dead.

But still I would prefer the PR as it is a better investment. What I don't like about Google is that almost all their services are entirely dependant on webmasters, and still they are acting against us. Adsense, Analytics, Search Engine etc are dependant on our websites. Unfortunately, they know very well that webmasters won't unite and stand against them.
