However, this score seems to be not as relevant as it used to be anymore. Google has been generally updating this algorithm every three months but in recent time, nothing has evolved. When Matt Cutts has been asked whether PageRank is going to be updated before 2014, he replied “ I would be surprised if it happened”. The last update occurred at December 6th 2014. SEO experts tends to say that PageRank is definitely dead but what was it and what are the alternatives now? Why PageRank was so useful?
