Page Rank Update Craziness

by Bryn Youngblut on September 27, 2008

I came home late last night to see a message from my buddy Jerry telling me congrats on the PR 4. My first thought was, page rank update already? I immediately came on here and checked and there it was a nice shiny PR 4. I then went and checked three other of my websites which they all went from a PR 0 to 4. At this point I was pretty happy since I don’t really do any link building, especially on the other sites.

Oh and I forgot to mention but I actually decided to sell PicPanda two days ago which has had a PR of 0 since I started it about 6 months ago. So I decided to go see what PicPanda is at now…it’s a page rank 5! The guy who bought it when it had a PR 0 two days ago definitely got a good deal from me. Oh well the good thing is I don’t mind too much because it’s in good hands now.

Either way I’m happy with the results of this recent update. I know some people had good turn outs with raised page ranks and others got lowered unfortunately. I guess it will just motivate you to keep working hard to increase your link building.

How did your page rank do?

I love reading about how others PRs fared. Mine stayed at a 0 which once again proves Google sucks and I need to rewrite them because they def did something wrong…

Ha ha, gratz on the 4

It really does make no sense, it seems like this update was messed up. Three other sites of mine I have never done any link building with and I haven’t touched them in over a year and all of them went from a 0 to a 4…very odd.

the page rank update is real crazy.. I mean just a couple of months my blog turned to pr2 and even before this page rank update happened I was drop to pr0 and I dont have any idea why.. Maybe they just made a mistake on me getting pr2

That is odd, do you do any kind of linkbuilding?

Interesting topic. Congrats on the four. Recently my site was at zero and then suddenly I noticed it was a 5. I thought, “that’s cool, but I don’t know why…”, because like you, I don’t push for linkbacks on that site”. Then, with this last update, it went down to a 4, which I’ve heard is still pretty good!

Here is a site that I use to check it if you haven’t seen this already:

It gives more than just page rank… check it out!

Congrats on the Pagerank four. Mine went up to Pagerank 1 even though I did a lot of link building.

I think Google might not raise PR as high if they notice you doing deliberate link building….but what do I know.

To be honest I didn’t even expect it nor care too much, I was just shocked to see a jump from 0 to 4.
