Google PageRank Update In Progress

Posted by Richard Palace in April 30th, 2008

Today, I noticed a change in Google PageRank on 4 of my websites. 2 of the sites, which I started this year, 2008, has achieved a PageRank of 2 while another old site has moved from a Google PageRank 4 to 5.

Richard Palace Dot Com has also moved from Google PageRank 2 to 3.

So what is Google PageRank?

PageRank is a numeric value that represents how important a page is on the web. Google figures that when one page links to another page, it is effectively casting a vote for the other page. The more votes that are cast for a page, the more important the page must be. Also, the importance of the page that is casting the vote determines how important the vote itself is. Google calculates a page’s importance from the votes cast for it. How important each vote is is taken into account when a page’s PageRank is calculated.
PageRank is Google’s way of deciding a page’s importance. It matters because it is one of the factors that determines a page’s ranking in the search results. It isn’t the only factor that Google uses to rank pages, but it is an important one.

The next Google PageRank update is expected to be somewhere in July.
