Nice - we're back at a 4 on Virginia Beach Car Dealers | Auto Dealers in Virginia Beach, Norfolk Virginia

We dropped to a 3 for a few months, and I couldn't figure out why because we had been a 4 for years.

Interesting. Not that PR directly translated into money; it is arguable that a higher emphasis from Google will translate into better SEO exposure though. I wonder if Cars.com will incorporate any of this into their advertising? I'd be surprised if they did. But if they did, that would sure get the industry talking about Page Rank. It would kind of be on par with arguing over which camera is better solely based on MegaPixels.

Dealer Authority - 250

✨ AI Highlights

  • A group of automotive dealers discusses a Google PageRank update, sharing their sites' new PR scores and comparing them to major competitors like AutoTrader, Cars.com, and CarMax.
  • The thread reveals that PageRank scores don't always correlate with real-world search visibility or traffic, and that the publicly-displayed toolbar PageRank lags behind actual algorithmic changes by weeks.
  • The key takeaway is that while PageRank updates are worth monitoring, dealers shouldn't over-interpret the scores as a direct indicator of SEO success or competitive advantage.
