Google PageRank Update - 27th September 2008
Looks like there's been another PageRank update from Google. I've been waiting sometime for big update, so I'm really pleased!
N.B. If you're not sure what your site's PageRank is, you can learn that here: What is my Google PageRank? and if you want some ideas on how to improve it, you can find those here: Improve Your PageRank.
Anyhow - back to the PageRank update - what's happened? Well, I've found that the majority of sites I'm working on have got a greatly improved PageRank for many of their deeper pages within the site. However in some cases, sites showing these results have seen the PageRank for the home page drop by a factor of 1.
While this alarmed me at first, looking at the bigger picture, if the pages deeper within the site have a better PageRank, then it means that Google is likely to direct more traffic with 'long tailed keywords' to these pages, rather than to the web site's home page. In my experience, this makes the visitor 50-75 % more likely to buy / enquire / download or whatever. So, it all looks rosy!
It should be said that a high Google PageRank by no means guarantees a high placement in Google's results pages and equally, a low PageRank isn't all bad news. However, the general rule of thumb is the higher the better if you want to sell your products and services online.

You'd improve your back links a lot more, if when you comment on Blogs like this you include your URL (web site address) in your signature.
Which would also help improve your PageRank.

Thanks for the 'thanks' :)

One of my sites was effected exactly as described, this was the first post that I found (I searched by today’s date), bang on, thanks.
@ Anonnymous... Good Question.
This actual post doesn't have a PageRank just yet because it is so new. The Blog's homepage has a PageRank of 2 right now, but it's growing.

@PureDezigner... Compose an original comment rather than spamming my comments board with the same comment you've left on other forums and I might let your comment ride.....
On the eve of April fools day Google updated the toolbar page rank again on 1st April 2009. This time they filtered more back links. Previously i have around 70 now i have less back links for my site http://www.cybex.in. However site rank well on all top keywords. It seems google backlinks scheme updated too. It still loves article links as i did for my site. I implemented news section and rss feeds on the site which rocks well and may be the reason of ranking my all keywords.
