PageRank is alive and well!

Yup, that's Free Blog Help's home page PR.

Have you seen your new PageRank? Last week, I posted a timely article on the controversial possibility of the death of Google PageRank. To everyone’s pleasant surprise this weekend, Google blessed us by showing us their latest PageRank (PR) scores for our pages.

Look, many of you think I’m a PR fanboy. Honestly, I can’t even deny that I’m not. It makes me good money every month so there’s not much hate between my PR scores and me. I mean, just look at the handful of articles in the last few months about my professed love of Google PageRank:

• The only real factor in increasing PageRank
• How PageRank saves me time
• How I earn money using PageRank

And those don’t even include the plethora of other PR articles that I wrote over the years, especially when I was posting a new article every day!

Remember, PageRank is updated constantly behind Google’s black hole. I thought I might have been able to squeeze out a PR6 home page (and perhaps I was there and dropped back down) but I’m very happy with a PR5 right now. And yes, I did it organically. No gimmicks. No paid services. No crazy juice exchanges.

So, how did your pages do? Did your home page go up or down? Tell us!

If you don’t have the PR toolbar or status bar, go check your PageRank below:

  Good points. However, since those are the current rules of engagement, it’s best to learn to play by them.

  I, for one, am reaping the rewards of having a respectable PR on my home page and other pages.

    My site had founded more than one year ago, but many pages still also have O PR! May be it connected with no special page’s optimization I did for Google, because in Russia Google keeps only the second place as searching engine. And the first place keep Yandex.

        for increasing your Blog PR Quality Do follow backlinks required.. Suppose one website has PR of 9 And thousands of website is linking to PR 9 website and another website is has PR 6 and only 100 website is linking to this website then from which website link is better for your website. ofcourse the one has Page Rank of 6, so thats why For increasing PR quality backlinks are important

  It took google over 6 months to come up with this update. But then pr does not mean much unless its something high above 6. Below that even though it can have an impact on serps, it do not carry much weight-age. I have seen pr 1 websites getting better serps than pr 3.

  Page Rank is one of the factors that Google uses to evaluate your web site and determine its position in the Google search engine results. Page Rank is a number from 0 to 10.

  If you want to check your site page rank you just take a Google’s feature and get a PR of your site. Through the PR you can evaluate your web site and check your website position easily.

  Google would never trash PageRank – it’s what made Google great! Before Google, the other search engines simply relied on what you say about yourself to rank you, usually in the form of how many times a given keyword is repeated on a page.

  Hello,

  Thanks for the counter article after the flaming controversy of last time about the death of the pagerank
  Does the location of the backlink matters? I have a site in french http://www.pharmadeo.com and I am wondering if I should favor blog in France or not for good PR. Does it matter to rank high in Google France?
  There are much less blogs in France, so it is a little harder to build a good link strategy.

  My pagerank went up from 3 to 5 in the past update. But really, it was the toolbar Pagerank that was updated in this update, the internal Pagerank is always updated. To be honest, I think Google should just get rid of toolbar PR because it encourages people to buy and sell links, which hurts Google’s search quality.
