Google rolls out PageRank update

amol23851936 views

For all those who debated that PageRank was over and done with, Google rolled out a new PageRank update over the last couple of days. The last updated was in April 2010 almost nine month ago.

Earlier Google would roll out PageRank updates very frequently every 3 month or so, there has been a long time lag between PageRank updates in recent times.

The PageRank on this blog hasn’t changed but one of my other sites got an increase of PR 4 from PR 3, I noticed on a lot of forums and communities that webmasters and bloggers have seen an increase in Google PageRank for their sites which is a good trend. Google has been friendly in their update 🙂

What about you, did you see any PageRank update for your blogs or websites ?

That's awesome ..congrats :)

You know for the longest time I really thought Google just decided to not do the updates anymore. Just figured it was thing of the past, but once again I stand corrected. Glad they did it and I have even heard they are going to start doing it more frequently. I didn't get a PR increase but my traffic value increased by 22K so I am good with that :) Garen

Google should do away with PR and concentrate more on relevancy of search results

Why should they do away with PR?
Shanker Bakshi January 23, 2011 - 1:27 am
Yeah, most of the people are talking about a positive trend.
Garen @ Get Backlinks January 23, 2011 - 1:30 am
Oh, I agree relevancy will take you far in the Google rankings :)
Jagan Mangat January 23, 2011 - 1:58 am
Yea but i have seen much of the people saying that the page rank change they got was unexpected.
Alex@Jocuri January 23, 2011 - 8:45 am
I don't think people started to think that Google has abandon pagerank but rather they have lowered it's weight in SERPs. Now all the rage is understanding the algorithm changes and how to get higher SERPs results regardless of PR value. Also, Google's exclusive license for PR is about to expire this year, so if they won't do something about it, PR may appear everywhere. I can already see something like Twitter PR :)

No change on our websites yet here in Australia.
Sujith@techlineinfo January 23, 2011 - 9:31 am
I got PR 7 in this update. It's an unexpected rice from PR 6 because I haven't done anything special for PR but tried to stick on the policies of Google.
ZK January 24, 2011 - 2:41 am
Great going :) , getting PR 7 is a tough one....can you share with us if there has been an increase in traffic from Google or rankings for your blog.
Edinburgh Driving School January 23, 2011 - 9:50 am
I didn't see an increase but my blog is fairly new. I wonder why it has taken then 9 months?
Articlessnap January 23, 2011 - 12:44 pm

Garen @ Get Backlinks January 23, 2011 - 1:51 pm
The truth of the matter is Google can do whatever they want just because they are Google :)
Bread Coupons January 24, 2011 - 1:36 am
Some of my sites have yet to receive an updated PR. I wonder if it will take several days for google to roll out?
william January 24, 2011 - 4:34 am
My one year old blog stayed at 0. Not doing any SEO on it though. My other sites PR did not change.
p90x January 24, 2011 - 6:15 am
Well I heard it here first ZK. And you are definitely right. I too had thought Google just forgot about Pagerank. I wonder if they will go back to updating every three months or so. - Robert

@Jasmine, Not good... says its 0... but I doubt that is the true value, it can't be anyways. -Jean

Great to see Google update the Pageranks. Hope they do it more often from now on, like every couple of months or something. :)
p90x February 1, 2011 - 6:14 pm
I agree, I would like to see them back to the 3 to 4 month updates again. - Robert
Bali Hotels January 25, 2011 - 5:43 pm
Great to see, but made no differance to my site even though we have increased links and rankings for keywords, in the end it only matters where you rank for the keywords you using.
Jasmine January 26, 2011 - 1:25 am
Finally, we see a PageRank update... after so many months. My site went from PR8 to PR0! :)
FirstHosting January 26, 2011 - 3:59 pm

Yes there is also increase of PR for one of the blogs where I write on.
WebTechlife January 31, 2011 - 6:04 am
pr mainly depends upon the back links of the website or blog and content which we are used in the website or blog
Property Marbella February 1, 2011 - 9:56 pm
Hi ZK, Google's Page Ranking is useless; it was of interest in the middle of 2003 to 2007, after that doesn’t have it no function at all. I don’t even looking on what my sites and blogs have for PR today.
eCommerce Features February 2, 2011 - 2:17 am
I was also being a part of pagerank update as in my case it was decreased from 4 to 3. It will be appreciated if you write a post on reasons why pagerank droped?
Dodge Neon SRT4 February 2, 2011 - 12:19 pm
There is No Page Rank Update in Most of my Site. Some of Sites, Have got update merely from pr 3 to pr4. I am happy with page rank update.
Jocuri gratis February 3, 2011 - 4:34 am
My websites goes from 2 to 1... hope next pagerank update will be more benefical for me.
Aluminum Cases February 3, 2011 - 6:54 pm
Thanks for the reminder about PR. Our company website just went up from PR4 to PR5. So I was quite happy with that. It can take quite a lot of links to improve PR after about PR3. I know PR doesn't really mean much anymore, but it is still a sign that you've accumulated more good links.
Bit Doze February 4, 2011 - 9:20 am
Is very nice to see a Page rank update especially after so much time. For me this was my first page rank update I have increased from 0 to 1.

Congrats on the increase. We all know how hard it can be to move up in the ranks. Good job.

pageranks can never be over and done with.....it is the fuel google uses to keep going
DaReaper July 21, 2011 - 11:05 am
I think page ranking really matters and yes , i think i've been working really hard to see a rise in my blogs page rank . It did increase to PR4 in the last month but the weird thing is it suddenly dropped to PR 2 this month . It's really disappointing .
