Google Pagerank Update Comes Early

by on 05/27/2009 in Google

The average update is usually around 90 days, but this one comes early. There is no rhyme or reason, and I am guessing it’s Google being Google. The update is underway and should continue through the next 12 hours.

I noticed this at around 1:00 pm CDT with some of the tech blogs I usually visit daily. I also confirmed this update with a couple of Google forums that I frequent. The last PR update was on April 1st and this PR update is occurring in only two months.

There were many site owners disappointed with the last toolbar update, but it is important to remember that the toolbar is “not an accurate indicator of how Google ranks or values a site,” as Loren Baker notes at Search Engine Journal. Though it is still a major factor.

There are many tools you can use to see how well your site is doing when it comes to backlinks.

http://www.seorush.com/ (SEORush not only gives you information on backlinks, but a lot more pertinent information about your blog and website).

http://www.seomoz.org/toolbox/backlinks (seomoz.org provides a nice inventory of tools to measure your blog and website. You must have an account which is free).

http://www.dnscoop.com/ (Another site value tool that gives you more than just information on backlinks).

Tell us how your Pagerank score did. TechJaws remains at a PR4.
