I have one designer outfits site with PR0 as well as 0 back links in last month, but now it got PR 4 with 5 back links. It is a great updates by Google. Thanks too Google...
This also happened on one of my site. But no remarkable traffic from GOOGLE after this PR change. what about you Mic_123?
I think this guys replied your question but you must check other search engines like yahoo and other than you can know the real back link ratio . May be you got good pr back links related to your niche and that's why your pr went up .
Its really great... If you do good submissions in relevant sites. You will get good response.. Let me one thing Mic_123, what about Google position of your site. Is there also any changes?
Great work...not just great google. The work doe not stop there though, google is continually updating the SERPs so keep your links and content rolling in.
it's a combination of getting a quality and quantity back links. Google ain't showing all the back links.
Well.. The PR doesn't only depend on the backlinks. There are other factors to consider like quality content,etc.
Yes the PR depends on so many things, your site images, your site contents and meta tags description. Not only backlinks can increase the PR.
The PR is updated in real time. The change which you see is only toolbar pagerank. Toolbar pagerank is updated only a few times a year but the time period in which is updated has nothing in common with the real pagerank updates. Toolbar pagerank is only information for webmasters and is not used for the page ranking. From this reason you should not expect big SERPs changes when is the toolbar pagerank updated
Thanks to all of you… and thanks for you expert professional views… It is helpful for me in future… I also checked my sites in other search engines link yahoo I got 78 yahoo back links… However, there is no any good change in Google position after increasing the PR. It is still in 30th position in google. In other SE's it is 1st position on Msn and 37th position on yahoo…
Are you sure? I did an experiment over 4 months and found that a single text link from with pr4 can give another external webpage pr3 SERPs rely upon keywords, anchor text, content etc but does page rank really?
PR is mainly useful when selling the site, however it is very satisfactory to see PR4 in your toolbar!
