Google's last page rank update was in April and many webmasters have been waiting since the last update to reap the rewards of all the hard work they have put in optimizing pages, building quality back links, adding continuous fresh content, and holding their breaths.
I haven't seen any keyword placement movement since the new Google update but it may take up to two full weeks to see how significant the Google page rank still is to search engines like Yahoo and MSN.
I believe Google page rank is still relevant and will impact millions of websites around the world. The Google page rank is a calculation of various areas of your sites worth and as Google adjust its algorithm to come up with the best possible score for your websites value in the market your are trying to place in again.
Many of you are now seeing page ranks on new sites that have had a score of zero for several months. Others of you have see your great page rank go down, which may hurt your overall placement only time will tell.
I have seen the results of page ranks dropping on Text Link sites due to selling of these links but haven't seen the punishment Google is said to be giving out to people who purchase these links for their sites. I am sure Google is weighing the cheating factor and grading the sites accordingly.
Now that a new Google page rank has been made, don't stop optimizing your site planning to wait until the last minute to spam the system. Continue working hard as even more and more competitors are coming online as we speak. Do what's best for your customer and the search engines usually follow right along.
Good content, placing your links in the right places, and streamlining your met tags will always payoff in the end. Remember in search engine optimization, you have to be patient, be diligent, and know that your are targeting the right keywords and audience for your business.
Until the next big Google update, take care of your business and your business will take care of you.
Google Page Rank Increase
Page rank (PR) for their site. A higher PR means a higher rank in the search engines and higher traffic volume. That's a no-brainer. The problem is that some things you do to try to increase your PR can get you into trouble. Some can end up only lowering your PR and some can actually get you banned from Google entirely.
Have you ever been to a site that is just loaded with flashing banners and other ads? The website owner just hopes you click on something. Well, if you have NOT seen this sort of site that is because they do not appear on the search engine results. That should tell you something! With too many outgoing links, your site will be seen as just a link farm and you will get penalized for it.
Adding new pages to your site won't increase your PR unless you understand how to link them properly. Each new page you add needs to be linked to an important page in your site. This is because Google won't index pages that have not been linked to other pages.
In addition to linking to an important page, that new page has to be linked to from at least one other page on your site. And there are some pages that you should not add to your site at all. If you have a lot of identical pages on your site, Google will consider them to be spam and you will get penalized for it.
As you work on getting backlinks to your site, don't worry too much about getting that link from that huge popular site. You can often benefit more by getting lots of links from smaller sites that have lower pagerank. And these links are easier to get, so you can get more links to your site, which can help you more than that one link from that one popular monster site.
The general consensus on the internet is that the best way to boost your pagerank is to forget about it and concentrate on the quality and content of your site. Make a high quality site that offers value to your customers and other people will naturally want to link to it. If you opt for an SEO (Search Engine Optimization) service makes sure they are reputable and don't participate in the questionable linking schemes taking place.
