    Hi Jimmy,
    The november PR update was surprising me much because it happened not long after google panda update.

    At first., I thought it was apart of Panda update, and I was like, “oh not again.”

    However, I was quiet happy with the update.

    Congrats for the PR updates of yout blogs

    Kind regards

    I’m just about to go and read your article on traffic and seo, and hopefully have some movement at the next update.

    Hey Jimmy,

    congrats on your PR improvements! :-)
    On my mainpages there was no update – although it seems like my subpages got a boost in PR. Got pages on blog with PR3 now. The main blog stays PR3 for years.
    It is still all a great mystery to me. ;-) )
    Many greetings,

    Hi;

    If you want to develop and keep your PR, one key thing is to check and monitor your backlinks.
    List your backlinks, check their PR, then do a close monitoring of the backlinks that do pass you some juice.
    Should one source disappear, you know and can restore it or replace with a similar one.

    Cheers,

    Sylvain

    “My BMI calculator went from PR0 to PR4″
    Wow, how did you do it? That’s a terrific jump!
    I have 5/6 websites on different topics and in all of them I got +1 at top.
    Do you know how often Google update the site’s PR?

    Keep up the amazing blog

      They tend to do that at times, in October they change something on what it takes to get a high ranking on the search results which change the ranking my danish currency rates site had.
      It had about 3000 hits a day and was number 1 on the main keyword, after the update it’s number 4 and “only” have about 1300 hits a day. :(

      But in the end there is nothing we can do, they can pretty much do as they will….

      I have a couple of webmasters that got hammered, one of their sites went from PR2 to a PR0 and so on.
      But in general it was a good pagerank update, it might have something to do with the one they made in August where a lot of sites got their ranking decreased.

  10. Peter Lee from Computer How To siger:

    It was a strange PR update. Google.com, Facebook.com and CNN.com all went down from PR10 to PR9. I had an article published on Ezine Articles for less than 2 weeks and that page got PR4. I won’t be surprised if they update again soon because they wouldn’t let their own site on PR9 for so long wouldn’t they?

    Hi Jimmy,

    I think what we have learned, since the Panda update, is time will tell. I was worried when Google started making all these changes, however, I think as long as we all focus on quality content and continually promoting our sites, we will be ok.

      Quality content and promoting, is as you write the only thing you use time on ranking will almost always come in time. But keeping an eye on those things, can give you a hint on the things you are doing is the right way or not.

    Hi Jimmy,
    This is the first time that I came across your blog and that too through Ana Hoffman’s Commentluv list, you have a nice blog down here. Any ways talking about this PR update, it came as a surprise since almost all of us webmasters thought that Google had scraped away or killed the Pageranking stuff, but none the less it is a welcome update. My main blog got to PR4 from PR3 but my other websites PR remained the same. Congrats on your PR update.

  16. Jannich siger:

    I’ve just checked pagerank for all pages on my blog, and these are the results:

    The frontpage on my blog went from PR 3 to PR 2. :-(

    40 subpages are now PR 2, compared to 22 before the update. :-)
    54 subpages are now PR 1, compared to 73 before.
    57 subpages are now PR 0, compared to 47 before.

    So all in all, an increase in average pagerank across my site, which is nice. :-)

    Hi, Jimmy! I’m glad to know that Google’s page rank update went well for your site, it did for mine too :) I’m really happy that our efforts have taken our site to a better positioning. We do a lot of back linking through blog commenting and submitting articles to article directories. We also answer questions in Yahoo answers that are relevant to our niche. It has helped us generate more traffic :)

    I have had a number of sites go from PR1 to PR3, one went from a 1 to a PR2, and a brand new site of mine, which is only about 2 months old is showing a Page rank of 1 now. I have only been doing slow backlinking using feed updates, social bookmarking and blog commenting. I guess it must be working.

    I didn’t see any change on my sites except one new-ish site went from a PR0 to PR1, which was nice. That same site was one that benefited from the Panda update, too… I imagine the two are related.

    Stable @ PR5, some from PR0 to PR3/4 and fortunately no drops. Though I know I shouldn’t put much emphasis on PR it is still nice to see more green then grey in the toolbar ;)

    Hi Jimmy

    To increase pagerank I comment on blogs, submit articles to article directories such as Ezinearticles and add content to web 2.0 sites such as Hubpages and Squidoo. Still on a pagerank 2, but hope to change that at the next update.

    Thanks to Mitz’ beautiful Commentluv-list I have found your blog and am curious, because have looked into it a few months ago: Can we see when Google is planning the next big Google PR Update or is there no chance at all? What about via the Google Watch Blog?

    We are very much looking fwd. to hearing from you and will definately check your blog more out now. Matt

    Hi Jimmy,

    Congratulations on your PR boosts.

    One of my static sites went from PR0 to PR3 for the homepage – but not much activity on the inner pages. It’s a 3 month old site with a 301 redirect from a site that got trashed by Panda (around about August/September).

    Another of my blogs – about 6 months old, but only been worked on for the last 3 months or so – went from PR0 to PR2 for the main page and a lot of subpages and individual posts got PR3.

    It’s quite nice to see your PR go up, but to be honest, I would be happy with a lower PR and a higher position in the SERPs any day of the week.

    Hey Jimmy, great to see some boosts in PR, on 4 different sites, that’s good going.

    My site went from PR5 down to 3, but it just goes to show that PR isn’t everything since I’ve gone up in SERPs slightly, which is what I prefer. – inner pages didn’t really change much at all though. I’m still pretty happy with a PR3 domain after a few months though.

    Although having higher PR is always nice if you come to sell the site I guess.

    Stupid question maybe but does the PageRank update affect anything or is it just for those who want to know their PageRank? Is the “real” PageRank updated all the time behind the scenes?

      I believe that the Pagerank isn’t always updated, but the seo value from your backlinks will always update your ranking when Google finds them.
      The Pagerank is normally updated 5 times each year, the last one was i November on the 7th.

      It doesn’t effect anything as such, it “just” shows the value of the websites that links to you. But if you have a high Pagerank, that can increase your traffic and comments if it’s a blog.
      I also believes that a high Pagerank, tend to make a website more trustworthy to many users. In return they are more proned to click on ads or buy something if it’s a webshop.

      You can read up on pagerank here in this post http://w3blog.dk/seo/there-are-many-myths-about-google-page-rank-and-it%c2%b4s-significance.html
