January Page Rank Update

Posted by Paul B | January 12, 2008 .

So after all the fuss of the last much delayed page rank update that saw many blogs and link sellers getting slapped by Google who would have thought that they’d slip in a page rank update so early in the new year?

It was certainly a surprise for me but I’ve just gone through all my websites and it looks like an improvement all around. One or 2 pages have dropped from a 5 to a 4 but other than that everything else is up at least a 1, some as much as a jump of 3. Great news for this Blog as well, not the 5 that the page rank prediction tools predict but still an increase to a 3. As the domain and content ages and Google begins to trust me more hopefully it should continue to improve.

Anyway that’s enough about me, how have you got on with this latest page rank update?

    Well i haven’t done much, but had changes on two sites only, one went from PR0 to PR4 (the usual mega jump for new sites) and the seo blog went from PR4 to 3.

    I was expecting the drop in PR since i lost two PR5 backlinks, but wasn’t expecting the PR4 jump for the other site. This time I left aside the PR and was more oriented to SERPs so the PR drop on the seo blog doesn’t bug me at all, as long as the rankings on the SERPs improve and traffic grows.

    Congrats for your PR3 Paul ;)

    Yeah it’s amazing how new sites with at least a few decent backlinks usually end up a 4!

    I had a feeling that PR in general across my sites was on the up because in the last 2 weeks I’ve had about a 20% increase in organic Google search traffic due to better rankings. Of course by the time they export your PR it’s already factored in so better SERPs and a PR tend not to coincide.

    Like you say it’s much better to just concentrate on the SERPs , your keyword positions bring you traffic not your PR.
