PageRank — the secret sauce that Google used to become the giant of the search world — is no more. No more for the public, that is. Google’s numeric rating of how important it considers pages to be will soon no longer be accessible to the public.
Good riddance.
Ever gotten a crappy email asking for links? Blame PageRank.
Ever had garbage comments with link drops? Blame PageRank.
Ever had to ferret out the how and why you should make use of the nofollow attribute on links? Blame PageRank.
More appropriately, blame Google for ever making the PageRank score visible. When Google first started, PageRank was something it talked about as part of its research papers, press releases and technology pages to promote itself as a smarter search engine than well-established and bigger rivals at the time — players like Yahoo, AltaVista and Lycos, to name a few.

Attention: "role based name" email prefixes such as support, webmaster, info, contact, forum, service, affiliate, admin, traffic, partners, marketing, etc., for our member accounts are not permitted. They are acceptable for a vendor listing, but not for the member email. This is due to bulk email processors scrubbing them for delivery due to extremely high bounce rates.

If we discover you signed up with a role based name we will give you only one message to change it. After 3 days your account will be removed if the email is not changed.
