Google page rank update, any Good news from your end?

by Harsh Agrawal on May 29, 2009

in SEO

I’m surprised with sudden Google page rank update. Google updated the page rank of many websites and while talking to many friends on twitter and facebook that this time Google page rank was not pleasant for everyone.

Many bloggers responded that their page rank decreased and or they completely lost the page rank.

For Shoutmeloud main page Page rank remains the same i.e PR#3 but the good news is most of new internal pages got Google page rank.

Google_page_rank

Along with, if you remember few days back in my previous post How much I make money from blogging in Feb 2009 told you about my other blog www.chromoz.com which got page rank of#1. Though it’s equivalent to negligible but the quality of post and effort I put in there, it’s acceptable for me.

If you remember my previous post on Why you should link back and anchor text technique and probably that’s why I’m ranking on search engine for few of my target keywords.

Some of the important WebPages which I wanted to be with Google page rank and finally they have Page rank of #2

Step by step guide to install self hosted wordpress blog

How to import your blogspot posts, comments and users to wordpress

The anchor text technique worked for me and specially for the article which I wanted to rank better.

How you can improve your Google page rank?

Ranking on Google is not a huge thing but it’s important, that shows your website or blog authority in the eyes of Google.   I will recommend have a look at these articles which will help you to rank better in Google and might help you to increase your page rank in the next update.

If you are on wordpress there are two plugin which I will highly recommend

That’s a wonderful news George and I’m glad to see Nice PR updates for my friends blog here.
Just a word of precaution , many link seller will approach you to sell you paid link for good price . I suggest to stay away from it else it might effect your PR in the next update.

My PR is stuck to 2. I am happy with that as long as it doesnt decrease futher. I am taking a bit of penalty due to TLA and Sponsored reviews. My PR at one point of time was 6 – lol.
But the PR drop hasnt really affected my traffic. So don’t care much about it. But yeah, dont want to end up with PR 0 either..that looks bad.

That’s true that Losing PR doesn’t affect traffic but Good PR is always seen as a great reputation and seems like I can expect quality content on those blogs and less or no paid links.
IMHO it’s good to have better PR, though most of webmaster’s doesn’t are a lot about PR.

This pagerank is +ve for most of the blogger, have seen many blogs with increased pagerank, My blog got Pagerank 5 . I am very happy with my efforts to get higher pagerank, and i think pagerank 5 is good thing :)
Why no change for you ?? you should work towards getting more and more backlinks.

Chetan™s last blog post..Google Pagerank 5 for me : Google just updated pagerank

14 citsym May 29, 2009 at 12:55

I already have loads of backlinks. Based on the no. of backlinks (including backlinks from sources like mashable and myopera.com) , age of site etc my website should have a higher rank than 2. Its that google penalised me to TLA ads.
But yeah, I am gonna work in the next couple of months towards getting more backlinks.

15 Harsh Agrawal May 30, 2009 at 06:01

That;s great news PR 5 is awesome. :)
I know I’m little sad with no PR update though I tried my best to get quality back link from many sites via guest posting and commenting. Seems like I missed something or Google wants me to wait till next update. :)

16 Michael Aulia May 29, 2009 at 13:32

Mine is still 3. It’s been 3 for a year I think lol. Had a PR4 once and I think I lost it after I changed my permalinks (or maybe not)

Hey Kusal, It’s time for you to see your link building strategy and try to get back your lost PR in the next update.
I will suggest start posting on dofollow blogs, Dofollow forums and few Directory submissions will help you.

That’s true Ricky, getting PR is not very tough, but I remember my initial days of blogging and when I got PR, I almost told this to everyone. :) Though people fail to understand what’s PR. but for a budding blogger or first PR is always a great news and motivation factor for every blogger.

PR 1 is still good, any PR in my view means Google is seeing your blog is an authority website and with little more effort you can increase your blog PR.

Hey Zubin
That’s good news. Probably those pages must have got backlinks from many websites, or you might have passed lots of link juice via Internal linking.
Anyhow small or big, Increase in PR is always motivating and It’s a great news to open a bottle of champagne. :)

@ Vaibhav Page rank doesn’t means visitors, PR is just Google View to weigh your site. You may wonder my site was viewed 6 lakh times in first 3 months with PR0. I m not an expert or SEO master but i realized and understand Page Rank doesn’t matters just do genuine and unique work and Google Bots will follow you automatically :)

Now, Go To PREFERENCES option and check on Google PageRank!
That’s it! You are done! No Software Required! Whenever you visit any site, it automatically shows the pagerank of that particular link.

Donot Have a Toolbar?
