PageRank: WaPo Up, Forbes Down, Portfolio beats WSJ
Remember the Great PageRank Massacre, when the Washington Post saw its Google PageRank drop from 7 to 5 overnight? Well, the good news is that WaPo is back, and stronger than ever – it now has a PageRank of 8! Weirdly, however, Slate, which is owned by the Washington Post, still languishes with a PageRank of 5. And Forbes, which got demoted to 5 during the Massacre, has now fallen even further, to a truly dismal 4. Meanwhile, I'm glad to see that Portfolio has improved from 7 to 8 (wsj.com went the other way), while nytimes.com has been bumped up from 8 to 9. Here's a handy table so you can see what's changed:
| Site | PageRank 10/25 | PageRank 11/7 |
| msnbc.com | 9 | 8 |
| nytimes.com | 8 | 9 |
| wsj.com | 8 | 7 |
| ft.com | 8 | 8 |
| portfolio.com | 7 | 8 |
| bloomberg.com | 6 | 6 |
| washingtonpost.com | 5 | 8 |
| forbes.com | 5 | 4 |
Bonus quote, from News Corp executive Anne Spackman: "Google now affects everything we do online". Yet another reason why WSJ.com is bound to go free.
(Bleg: Does anybody know what Slate's PageRank was on 10/25 and before the Massacre?)
