Phew! It was a long wait before the big G decided to update the toolbar PageRank this time. Webmasters had been waiting for this update with bated breath since April last year. Google usually updates the Toolbar PageRank 4-5 times a year. But 2010 proved to be an exception. The only update that happened in 2010 was in April.
There were rumours that the exclusive licence for the PageRank granted to Google by Stanford University (which is said to hold the patent for PR) was expiring in 2011, and Google may not get the license renewed unlike it did in 2003. SEO folks were busy guessing what would be the consequences if Google decided to ditch the PageRank.
However, January 20, 2011 saw Google updating the toolbar PageRank, with many breathing a sigh of relief. It was not much of good news for eZaroorat though. Our ranking slipped down to 4; it was 5 earlier (for the uninitiated, PageRank in measured on a scale of 10, and higher is better). But we are glad that PageRank of some of our network sites went up.
How was your experience with this PR update? Do Share.
Yeah its good hear that google updated Page rank. Thanks for sharing this useful information with us…
Good news that google relased PR data, any prediction for next update……
Thanks for Page Rank, recently within 15 days of peroid Google PR changes 2 time s, how this effect should count for best practice?
Hope you have solution for my question…
hey… my blog is abt 3 mnths old but it’s still not showing any rank for my blog.. it shows n/a instead of any rank..:( why is it happened?
i also want to increase my website’s page rank can you please guide me .. ? i shall be thankful to you…
I also saw one of my blogs drop from a PR3 to a PR1 recently. I’m guessing it had something to do with Google’s update. It’s such a tough game trying to keep pagerank up!
well “ezaroorat” has been at that level where whether page rank 4 or 5 is same. hope it’ll achieve a PR of 8 and it’ll sooner or later coz it has got the standard which PR8 site requires
I think the update took place two times withing a short period. As for my website, My website lost 4 PR (from PR4 to PR 2). I was very desperate at the moment, but after a week, I saw that my site again had PR 4. How strange!
Update of PR is like a fruit for web-farmer. We wait it for long
I totally agree with Dalian,
For good site business Pagerank is not a issue.
If you have good pagerank for website it doesn’t mean, you will receive high traffic and good income.
