Hello, I set my proxy site up first few days of March. It has been growing since and just hours ago, it was submitted to 50 directories! I was just wondering... I was told google was updating page rank sometime in April. Has it happened yet? When will I get to see if my proxy has a PR yet? And sadly, if it has passed, when is the next update? Thanks... Nicolas
It hasn't happened yet. Hold onto your hat because it could happen any day now. If your proxy is only a month old it probably won't make it in the next update - have to wait until next time (probably July time).
...Sorry? And you think eh? Well, the name is almost two months, if that makes any difference! I just thought with all the backlinks, traffic, alexa rank, that it meant SOMETHING! Maby I can change the topic here so I do not need to make a new thread... What exactly are backlinks? I seem to have around 250 of them, but none from Google! When I check Yahoo, I have like 90 something. I search my proxy in Yahoo and it shows up with around 90 results. So... Google has around 500 results, does this not mean I should have 500 backlinks from Google?! :S Thanks... Nicolas
Backlink is, er, a link from another site back to yours. Google only update their *public* record of backlinks a few times a year so you won't see them on Google until the next export of data. Coincidentally, since backlinks and PR go hand in hand, they update these two values at the same time. Backlinks are updated much more regularly internally at the Google, but these values aren't on public display.
Well said! I actually understood all of that! Very rare as usually people describe things in imposible webmaster talk!
