Google PageRank Update Happening!

After a very long  wait Google is finally doing a pagerank export update today!

If you have websites today is the day to check your pagerank in the Google toolbar or  by other means. There is an update happening right now. As is usual many sites go up and many sites go down in visible pagerank.  While pagerank is only one factor that determines where one of your web pages shows up in the Google searches, it is a good overal indication of the success of your efforts to promote your pages on the search engines. For an explanation of page rank  I suggest that you have a look a the short video I made to explain  Google PageRank . I also have a brief article which will help you undestand how to increase pagerank .

I have only been actively working on promoting this site, www.bizrave.com, for a couple of months at the time of this posting. This is the first pagerank export for this site. The homepage is listed as a PR 3 which is not bad for a first listing in my opinion. There is also a PR3 for one of my interior pages as well right now. I am actually somewhat surprised that I did get the PR 3 since there has been so little time that I have been working on this site.  Actually I obtained a higher pagerank of  PR4 on my alternate one page site I use for giving away my ebook "The 7 Keys To Business Marketing Success!" Google has gone about 8 months since the last pagerank export update, which is quite unusual. I hope they don't go as long before the next one.

Although the pagerank update is an exciting event which is the focus of many interenet marketing professionals, I want to clearly emphasize that there are more important factors which help determine where you actually come up in the search engine results for any particular phrase. I am on the first page of Google with site for certain phrases that have almost all other pages listed as PR5 to PR7 . This has been true from witihin a few weeks after I started promoting this site and shows clearly that PR does not tell everyting about how Google determines search results. Very soon  now I will be opening a membership area of this site where we will discuss the details of search engine marketing stategies, as well as many other aspects of business marketing. If you want to know when this happens I strongly suggest you join my marketing tips newsletter by using the link at the bottom of any posting here or the form on the top right side of the page.
