Google itself has largely abandoned PageRank as described in the original paper. It's only one of the signals used to rank web pages.
I don't understand your assertion that Web 2.0 sites would benefit from PageRank. And in any case, the patent is not what was holding them back.

Remember, its in their best interests for everyone to think their algorithm is so complex that it can't be spammed or replicated. Neither is true.
- onreact-com 17y agoNo, by now domain age and authority are most probably the single most important ranking factors of Google, among 200+ other so called "signals". I can see it in my SEO work. No domain age and authority means you can't rank in results even with substantial PageRank.
