Analyzing Google PageRank Updates
Overview
Google PageRank updates can be both a boon and a bane. Each update displayed on Google's toolbar often causes a stir in the SEO community. Webmasters race to apply every strategy to push their websites to the top of Google rankings.
Understanding PageRank
PageRank is essentially a score that distinguishes your website from others on the Internet. This ranking is influenced by the number and quality of links pointing to your site, which are valued based on the PageRank of the linking pages.

Impact of the Current Update
The latest PageRank update has initiated significant changes:
1. Some websites may see a decrease in PageRank despite an increase in backlinks. This suggests several possibilities:
- Google may have raised the PageRank criteria, making it harder to maintain previous scores.
- Changes in how backlinks are displayed might be affecting perceptions.
- Alterations in how the value of incoming links is calculated are likely impacting rankings.
Raising the Bar
Recent updates indicate that Google is frequently raising the standard for PageRank. This move addresses issues where websites unfairly boosted their rankings by acquiring numerous links. The current update reflects this ongoing adjustment.
New Calculation Methods
Some websites show increased backlinks, but Google doesn’t display all of them. For a more accurate count, you can check Yahoo by entering your domain. For example, a site showing 700 backlinks on Google might reveal over 10,000 on Yahoo. Thus, changes in PageRank aren't due to Google showing fewer backlinks.
The Real Value of a Link
The value of links has played a key role in the latest PageRank changes. Links from certain areas are now considered less valuable, such as:
- Multiple links from the same site.
- Text links labeled as "Partners," etc.
- Links from irrelevant sites.
Moving Forward
If your PageRank has dropped, focus on building quality and relevant links. It may take three months before the next update. If you've relied on buying thousands of links to boost your rank, consider adopting a more sustainable strategy.
