Google Confirms Page Rank Going Away Completely

Finally Page rank is stopped! Confirmed by Google with Search Engine Land.

 SEOs only know the importance of page rank. Because we are getting page rank only with high quality niche back links.

I remember In 2012 I asked to Matt Cutts from my personal twitter "how google assign page rank"? Here is tweet  https://twitter.com/sadanandseo/statuses/211126666653745155, Matt replied “we assign page rank based on links”.

I am observing since past two years page rank tool bar is not updated. I felt Google is concentrating on authority of page & domain instead of Page Rank.

But anyway Google is still using their data internally during the ranking algorithm. But the external value of page rank is completely gone away. If you are already having page rank toolbar in your browser, status showing is only for temporary purposes, after two weeks it won’t display. Here is Google's official confirmation source with Search Engine Land.
