Ahh, do you remember how we used to get all excited about the “Google Dance”, that period when Google updates the little green PageRank bar? Remember? Well apparently a lot of people still get very excited about it and it’s occurring right now - PageRank is updating!

If you have never heard the term PageRank head over to this page and have PageRank explained to you.

While some may argue PageRank is next to useless Webmasters and bloggers alike still love to see the little green bar climb higher, or for those with brand new websites, to finally see how well your site ranks.

Personally I stopped getting excited about PageRank ever since my blogs hit 6 since it’s very hard to get to a 7 and I haven’t done enough to warrant a 7 as yet. Although if my rankings dropped I would definitely be annoyed.

While I can’t say this conclusively I have noticed that if I point my two PageRank 6 blogs to any other page I can basically create PageRank 5 pages, which as I mentioned last time there was a PageRank update, seems to indicate that most sites have a PageRank that is simply the highest PageRank backlink of the site minus one. So if I have PageRank 7 sites linking to my site it very likely will be a 6. This of course makes sense given how PageRank is intended to work, but it does seem a little silly since if you have control of high ranked sites you can create more high ranked sites simply by linking them together.

Case in point - my Blog Traffic School pre-launch blog has gone from PageRank 0 to 5 for it’s first update and I’m pretty sure that 5 is there because of links from Entrepreneurs-Journey.com and SmallBusinessBranding.com. Not that I am complaining of course.

I hope PageRank has been kind to you today!
