Google PageRank Updated

by Norhafidz on July 26, 2008

I notice some changes in my blog today. One of them is the alexa rank, though I know it’s just a number, and the other change is I got a new PageRank! I moved to PR3 from PR0. I know the update will be around late July or early August, but this update is quite earlier than expected. I read Matt Cutts blog and he said something like this:

Hey folks, I wanted to let you know that new toolbar PageRank values should become visible over the next few days. I’m expecting that also in the next few days that we’ll be expiring some older penalties on websites. [from Matt Cutts]

Though this blog is expected to rise to PR5, according to freesoftware.co.uk, but PR3 is fine to me. I got another increment of PR on my other blog. Going up from PR0 to PR2. This is the first update for this blog and I am happy to see it moved from nothing to PR3. On the previous update, I lost some PR and I did mention it on this post. So, this time, I’m gonna be more careful towards maintaining those gifts that Google gave me :)

Here’s the screen shot of my new PR:

What Did I Do?

There are no secrets to hide, the only thing to do to improve your PageRank is to get a lot of inbound links from quality sites. That’s what I’ve been doing for the past 3 months since the last Google update. So, things that I did is quite logically getting a lot of links pointing to this blog. Here’s my checklist:

  • Write 100-150 words articles and submit them to article directories
  • Joining more forums and put my link on the signature
  • Exchanging 3-way links, I didn’t do reciprocal
  • Web directories submission
  • Commenting on do follow blogs
  • Write helpful posts for link baiting
  • Social bookmarking, a lot!

Advantages Of PageRank

PageRank is just a sign of ‘how much Google loves you’. It is also a sign that ‘how much money you can make online’. The higher your PageRank, the higher the desire of advertisers to put their links on your site. Usually, you can make a lot of money from PPP (Pay Per Post) if you have a high PageRank.

Because Google assuming that the higher the PageRank of a website, the more quality it be. So, these advertisers are willing to pay for quality links pointing to their site. This will effect the ranking of the advertisers’ site on Google and more likely to be visible to the organic traffic.

For this update, I can say that Google has been generous to me :) How about your sites? Does Google been generous to you too?

That’s the other advantage of your site gaining some Page Rank. Some people didn’t know that these PR thing are not just numbers but they as well help you earn some income through doing Paid Posts.

Congrats on getting your PR3. That was a huge change. From PR0 to PR3. Mine is PR0 to PR2. Hehe.

15 !x0r@ 07.27.08 at 1:51 pm

yup.google agak pemurah kepada saya. dari 3 naik ke 5. tapi mungkin akan turun balik pasni. saya takkan terkejut kalau betul page rank saya jatuh. huhu

16 !x0r@ 07.27.08 at 1:53 pm

erm,semua yg komen kat sini ada domain sendiri.. segan lak saya nk drop komen.huu..

Congratulations on getting a PR 3. Keep up the great work on your blog.

19 pening 07.28.08 at 3:28 pm

Kadang-kadang site dengan PR rendah akan listed above site yang lebih tinggi. What do you think about it?

Piss Biscuit: Thanks! About the ‘how’, no problem at all. Hope to see you more regularly :)

24 Donace 08.02.08 at 8:46 pm

congratz on the PR; it is unfortunate though that so much is based on a number :p

Though it does help on PPP and earning that extra little bit.

Will be interesting to see what happens if the proposed investigation on PR patent happens

25 Gimme4Free 08.06.08 at 9:10 am

Im still a PR0 :(

Nice Tips for me, Congrat for your pagerank

28 Norhafidz 10.19.08 at 8:03 am

@Donace: yea, it’ll be beneficial to those who involve in PPP and link selling. Other than that, PR is just a number :)

@Gimmie4Free: it’s ok, still plenty of time to improve it, just make sure you plenty of links before the next update
