It’s about time when Google PageRank (a.k.a PR) update is expected to be in progress. The various webmaster forums I’ve been to is abuzz about the upcoming Google PageRank for July
Some forum users have claimed to see their PR drop or increase. Well on my part I’ve not seen any of my blogs having any PageRank updates. Well if you’re clueless what is PageRank, well in layman term, it’s a rank given by Google on the authority of your blog based on the ‘relevant’ backlinks your blog has
Of course the higher PageRank you have is more desirable as you’ll ranked higher in search engines results page plus advertisers love blogs with high PageRank where your income can increase ten-fold if you have a good PR
PageRank updates schedule is erratic. Some says its every three months at least, but there has been times when the PR changes is longer than that. Well the reason behind each PageRank changes, we’ll never know. The last PR update was 189 days ago, so I reckon the next one is really coming up soon
Keep in mind when building a good blog, traffic building takes time, so have patience. I learned it the hard way when I was a young blogger, cocky with my entries and trying to prove my SEO knowledge at my blog, but an old-school veteran blogger gave me a good tip and ‘tongue-lashing’, grounded me for good. So be humble and be a sponge, keep on learning
It has been quite sometime since there was a PR update for me too.
I don’t know much about link building, I usually get trackbacks and that could be considered as me building links.
Well one trick is to lessen leaks at your blog.
Such link juice leaks can be prevented by adding nofollow to links in the themes e.g. rss feed, that might deem duplicates by the search engines bots
or you can use a nofollow plugin to facilitate the process
I use both methods above :)
I guess this section PR update on August?! I hope I get the increasing PR
Yes I’ve heard its either late July or early August
But its all a guess estimate
For all we know it could be in December
Welcome to my blog :)
