Another Page Rank Story

It seems that now there is a “real” PageRank update going on (as opposed to just a few changes penalizing certain sites). This seems to be the long-awaited Google update to every site’s toolbar PageRank. It will probably be a few days until it all settles down and we find out for sure what our new PageRank is.

Here are a few good stories about it:

ProBlogger – a good overview.

Andy Beard – great data on some top blogs and how their Page Rank has been changing. Andy has been covering the changes extensively.

Courtney Tuttle – lists some tools that allow you to check your Page Rank on many Google data centers at once. This is great when Page Rank is in flux like this.

I know I said I did not care much about Page Rank, but I am kind of excited because so far, this blog seems to be getting a PageRank of 4 on most data centers. I hope it stays at Page Rank 4! I only started this blog in August, so it has only been a little over two months since I started, and 4 would be a great ranking for such a new blog.

So, remember, Page Rank does not mean anything, unless you get a good Page Rank; then you can be proud of it! ;) (just kidding)

  1. Hey Pat,

    I never really cared about page rank because my blog is about a month old. With this past update I was given a PR2 so I am happy with that.

    It’s amazing how many larger sites were downgraded.

  2. Hi Steve, PR 2 is good for such a new site. Yes, I really don’t understand why Google is doing this.

  3. You should be excited about a PR4 Pat! That’s great – congrats!

  4. Congrats! I was rewarded with a PR 4 as well. It is a good day. :)

  5. Thanks! Congrats on your PR 4 too, Peter.

  6. Congrats! I hope you’re right about things settling down – despite working harder than ever on my sites this summer – most of them have dropped, haha.

    Oh well, who cares about dumb ol’ page rank anyway? ;)

  7. And Congrats, Pat, ahead of time, on nearly breaking the supernal 100,000 mark for your Alexa ranking. I expect you will be there very soon.

  8. People still care about silly things like PR?
