Looks like a PageRank Update in Progress

I know… another post about PageRank! I got an email from Otis this morning saying he noticed some PR changes going on… Sure enough, its time for a Google PR Dance!

I agree with 100% of everyone else who says PageRank has no instant effect on your actual site earnings… because it doesn’t! I have sites with PR5 that make little to no money and others that have PR0, making me some nice fat bank every day!

PR is a measure of site”authority”, nothing else. Don’t get hung up on it… UNLESS you are Buying or Selling a domain with PageRank!

Watch your toolbars… PR update in progress!

    So IS there any other benefit to having a higher page rank, other than the sell factor?

  • Mark (author) said:

    Sure…

    Bragging rights and of course, its much easier to get MORE people to link to you!

    Aside from that… PageRank is nothing but a great diversion! :-)

    Ignore it… kill the toolbar (if you have one) and only use PR tools if you plan on buying/selling a domain or website.

    Yes it is easier to get links , get advertisers and sell your sites. People are more willing to trust you because of the authority you have. IT updates every three or so months and is not a very accurate metric to base a websites worth off of.

    Yep, keeping my eye on the toolbar, hoping for an increase on a couple of my sites with all the hard work I have been putting in but we will see :).

    Pagerank updates used to cause me migranes a few years ago until I stopped worrying about it because there’s nothing you can do about whatever Google slaps you with.

    You’re right Mark. I see it happening as well. Last pagerank update wasn’t very good for me but I am hoping that this time around I have modified things in a positive way. :)

    Let´s see how it goes with my PR this time, I got dropped to PR 0 even though I write a new blog post every day.Lucky for me, PR is only 1 of the thing Google looks at when deciding rankings.

  • James Mann said:

    @ Tom – I know what you mean Tom, Google slapped me down to a PR0 as well. I am thinking I may have to contact them to see if they will tell me why they knocked me down.

    I have contacted them in the past with other issues but never seem to get an answer that actually tells me anything.

    I saw some changes in inner pagerank for some of my main categories. About seven of them, got PR3’s, but no change with the main page PR.

    I haven’t heard much about if this was a full update, but I noticed some changes here and there.
