Google October 2008 PR Update PDF Print E-mail
Oh gawd, not another one! It seems Google has been updating their PR table more often then ever. I noticed that they have another PR update today, on the 10th October 2008, and as always, it’s full of surprises.

pr updateI did a check online and none of the SEO related sites have reported this on their blog yet (hopefully I’m the first one though). On of the most interesting articles I found online was on Sphinn, with Matt Cutts as one of the participants.

This is what he said:

ChrisLang, we're always trying to improve our link analysis with algorithmic changes to reduce the weight of paid links that pass PageRank or to better discern what types of links add lots of value to users.

I'm glad that new PageRanks showed up this weekend as expected; after this toolbar update, I expect us to get back to the normal 3-4 month cycle.

AND

reviewmyplace, it's just a toolbar PageRank update. Even if you don't show much PageRank, Google still has 200+ other signals we use in our ranking. It's definitely common to see lower-PageRank sites ranking above higher-PageRank sites--which tends confuses the people who obsess too much about PageRank and who don't focus on other factors that search engines might use to rank pages.

Both the messages were posted 12 days ago – during the first update for the month of October. He mentioned, ‘after this toolbar update, I expect us to get back to the normal 3-4 month cycle.’

Let’s hope that Google DO go back to the 3-4 months cycle after this – as I have a lot of stake when it comes to PR.

There is a confusion doing the rounds on the Internet with regards to what the Google PageRank is, and what all the fuss is about. Its really a good update.

Google is doing a good job now a days. By updating the pagerank we can know our sites position and by this we can make our own changes to our site.
