Google Page Rank Update Underway Again
Thanks to everyone who has sent me email and IM to let me know that Google is updating it’s page rank at the moment. It does seem that there is an update under way from what I can see.
As usual you can check your Future Page Rank here on a post I wrote for a previous update.
If you’re new to the idea of page rank you might like to read my page rank explained post on the topic where I attempt to explain what it is and unpack whether it is actually important or not these days.

Seems like that’s correct. On some data centers I get pagerank for some of my rather new websites which hasn’t had pagerank before.

Oh cool, its a bit weird though. According to your Problogger/SEO Chat PR Check Im due for a PR4 (from a PR0) but according to others Im a PR6.
Also Brem I checked your blog and my toolbar says that you have a PR4 not 5. Does anyone actually have a proper way of checking PR, as apparently Google doesn’t change the toolbars after an update? Martin, how did you figure yours out?
Thanks,
Adnan

This guy Ray has started a wild experiment of Making $10,000 in 3 days and he is writing every step in his blog
So u can also follow it and make atleast $1000 in 3 days – Is it not an easy way to make money on the weekends.
Forgot to say – All he has is an autoresponder and just $300 to begin with – Many of the nice articles from problogger are the driving engines of this wild experiment.,

Thanks for the tip. I just did a check with your tool and it looks like my main blog is going to increase it’s PR by another factor, which is huge considering that each level is an order of magnitude more!
Great little tool you’ve got setup for going through the different Google search servers!

Using the SEO tool Darren talked about, half the data center show PR 4, half PR 5. Hmmmm
Ahmed: There is a lot of parameters taken into account for page placement, among which the time the page has been online, and also how long your domain name is registered for. That being said. I have no idea how much it matters when calculating PR.

Any idea how to simply make the page at my dot net ( the true page) and my dot com merge into one page rank?
They lead to the same page but until recently the dot net – a newer domain but the static one – had a 3 and the dot come the one older one which used a long time ago to lead to my blogspot blog which is now parked and leads to my dot net site – had a 5. Now it seems they both have a 5.
Someone told me that I could do some kind of redirect to increase it to a true ranking – redirecting those who still have me linked at the dot com to the dot net and increasing my ranking ot a 7.
Is this a complicated process and is it even worth it?

Waahey! It’s nearly PR update time again. I read somewhere that there have been predictions that the next update will be on 28th Jan 2007. The expression ‘clutching at straws’ springs to mind. Standby for several days of fluctuating PR values as the new roll out begins.

Hello,
How can we see the difference between changes in rankings as a result of those data pushes that happening like every 1-2 and the traditional Everflux. Can we assume that from now on rankings of sites wouldn’t be as stable as before?

I hope so, if no one gets banned for paid link exchange. Its more of a relevant website link to your site now than before in the eyes of Google. I have seen many of my back links vanish from google backward link check.
But, lets carry on people and not worry about a PR. Its more of a SERP we must concentrate today to increase website traffic.
Try this search in Google “increase website traffic” and check for listing for http://www.moregoogletraffic.com, you might know what I am talking about.
Anyways, all the best to everyone still thriving hard for a PR.
