Why Does Everyone Make a Big Deal with Google Pagerank?

I just don’t get it. Why do people make such a big deal with Google pageranks and updates? I can understand last year when pagerank was worth more and it actually had a meaning. But since the fall of 2007, it just hasn’t been the same.
Don’t get me wrong, there’s some people who can argue that Google pagerank hasn’t had the same meaning prior to the fall of 2007, but I guess that’s just when I started to realize it the most. The big G started to penalize more and more sites at their own will, which wasn’t fair. But now, since they’re updating more often (or at least it seems), it seems pageranks are and will just continue to fluctuate based on how Google thinks about your site.
The reason why people make a big deal about pagerank is simply the fact that it’s Google’s way of telling the world wide web how important your site is. Of course, the more “important” your site is, the better you’ll rank in their search engines. I don’t think that is true but that’s just me.
Of course, if you are an SEO expert, I’m sure you’ll find ways of ranking high in their search engine, with or without a pagerank.
But the best part of being a blogger - especially in a Make Money Online niche - is the fact that every other blog will discuss their pagerank update. Honestly, I almost feel like I should stop going to every single blog (especially the Make Money Online blogs) in the two weeks where Google is updating sites’ pageranks. Why? Well, because it’ll be the same thing “oh no, I dropped PR”, “woohoo! I climbed up in PR!”, “dammit, I stayed at the same PR”,”oh, look at these sites, they got their PR4, 5, 6, 7 back… the sure deserve it!”
See, I just summed up every single post on pagerank updates that you would read on every single blog.
So, why does everyone make a big deal with Google pagerank? Well, because they are convinced that it tells them how important their site is. Well, honestly, it doesn’t tell me that!
