There was an IBL update today (according to me) right before the pagerank update (probably tomorrow, again according to me). My question is, does an IBL update directly affect SERPs? (I'm asking because, for example, a pagerank update doesn't affect rankings because it's a just a snippet of our pagerank in a moment in time. Is the IBL (Inbound Links) update the same thing or wil it affect our SERPs?) Thanks for all answers.
SERP is always changing though a few days ago I did experience some noticeable changes for my sites SERP but that was maybe due to the caffeine update. If I don't get a PR update tomorrow prepare to get an email from my lawyer Chuckle ^^
Backlinks can help you to have a better ranking in search engines but there are other factors too to search engine positions. And pagerank can be improve by having quality backlinks from dofollow pages.
