Google Pagerank Update

The quarterly Google pagerank update is almost complete.

For those interested in such things, the Google pagerank is a mark out of 10 for every page on the internet. And if you have the Google toolbar installed on your browser you’ll see a little green bar in the middle of the toolbar that shows the pagerank for a particular page.

Pagerank, page rank or PR is just one of maybe one hundred factors that Google takes into account when ranking pages. Webmasters get hung up about it because it generally shows the strength of links pointing to their sites and the degree of authority their website has.

We have written before about page rank. Here is just one of many tools for you to check your page rank on some of the 700+ datacentres that Google has. And we wrote about why maybe that actually pagerank doesn’t matter so much these days

Whatever your views, the google pagerank update only occurs about 3 or 4 times per year but gets all webmasters overjoyed (we don’t have the toolbar installed so have no idea what page ranks this site has, and don’t really care either )
