Google PageRank Updates in August Minor
by Frank Jovine on 08/18/2010 in Google, SEO
There’s a lot of buzz going around in some of the SEO forums that there was a Google PageRank Update. There was an update, but it was not a PageRank update. The update that you are seeing is a backlink update. Google hasn’t issued a major update for its toolbar since April 3. I would hate to cry wolf here, but I am seeing many changes that would indicate that the update may come soon and I mean before the end of August.
The next Pagerank update will be the first since the launch of Caffeine and the newest update since April 3. I have learned recently that some SEO enthusiasts are indicating they are seeing changes in SERP (Search Engine Results Page) the last few weeks. I just hope it’s in their favor. We will have to wait patiently for this next update and hopefully for many web owners, it will be to their liking.
Always remember, that content is most important, as it tends to have an excellent effect of both increasing your one-way in-bound links (people will more than likely link to sites they find interesting, informative, or helpful), thereby improving your PageRank.
I am now off to chat with my SEO community to see what other goodies I can find about Google.
If you’re seeing any changes to Pagerank, please comment here.

Last night I looked at my page rank of my blog and I went from 0 to 3. I don’t know when they updated the page rank, but it is cool. Thanks Greg Ellison

Greg,
I have seen this before where people would see a change on their homepage and the next day it changes back to the original rank. I have confirmed you do have a PR 3.

Andrew,
It was a boring chat and pretty dull at that. I was hoping for a little new, but received null.

I found it is very hard to get higher PR once you have PR3, since working (SEO) on my site in March, nothing happened yet. Hope google can update its PR database soon

For increasing your web page rank you should have patience, this issue requires a great effort, hard work and be sure that you’ll see the improvement so it doesn’t matter how often Google update it.

I’ve seen changes in PR on inner pages- not the home page.

Minor updates, and like perryp said, only inner pages, no home page has been updated. i talked with other guys on Warrior forums and they all experienced this! So, no major PR update for Caffeine yet…

I have a blogspot blog where I posted very little, I’m talking four or five posts a month and my page rank went from 0 to 2 earlier this year.
Not a big deal but I’m wondering how does pagerank work and is it really all that important.
I went to the source (Google) and they have a page explaining PR but I just get a headache reading it.

That’s news to me; I wasn’t aware of the many ripples and depth to this case until I searched here through Bing! Good job.

Backlinks is only one of factors, but not the only.

Before the change I came up on the first page of google for things like ‘bwm motorcycle rental’ or even ‘motorcycle rental’
Now my website only comes up with geo specific indicators. I am focused on local areas as a target but my services and website are geared to engage people with the idea and dream of renting a motorcycle to go across country.
now there are crappy directories and undeveloped websites in place of where my site was.
I don’t like it – I think it hurts me

No we didn’t skip one, Google is just running a little behind due to all the great changes they have deployed the last 3 months.
