I am noticing much better rankings for my sites. Also, my backlinks went up and my PR went down.... Weird... Google is strange...
I did notice a surge in number of backlinks, however pagerank has remained at 2 despite swelling number of backlinks... hopefully next time when Google rolls -- I would pray to get higher PR! Cheers GS
Yea, I read it....That thread is about a PR change...Not Rankings Change...God forbid someone opens a new thread...
I have noticed several of my sites have had multiple pages jump. Nothing too spectacular but it at least gives me a new number new to look at on my google toolbar.
I moved from non-existant for some terms to pages 2 and 3....and from pages 6, 7, 8, to page 1 and 2 for some terms.... and my PR dropped....too strange... My site has over 225-250 pages of substantial content...some with 5,000-10,000 word articles...
I was so disappointed to find out my site PR had dropped to 4 from 5. It was a result of drop in good links I believe.
W4directory went from pr3 to pr2 but I have more backlinks and higher alexa ranking. Go figure. I think most people know that pr is important but not the only ranking out there. My alexa ranking as of today is 176k. There are millions or web sites out there and I've only been around for about a year. Not bad. I'm going to work on more backlinks and hopefully improve pr next time.
I went up by 3 on one page. Maybe it's just that time again. But I just posted this topic here ... http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=951034 Because my page that rose so fast, also went through one or two previous Google updates with no movement from it's grey bar in the PR meter. Then as soon as I reduced all the big images on the page to little ones, the page registered on the meter and rose up to a number 3.
