Time to check your Google PageRank again!

As expected, Google just updated the PageRank (PR) they’re willing to show you. The last time they did that was about three months ago (see: A new year, a new Google PageRank).

At that time, I had a PR2 on the home page with some articles at PR3 and PR4. My goal was improve the types of backlinks this site is getting to bring my home page up to a PR4. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t anticipating this update since I wanted to see how my tactics are performing.

If you’re using a PR add-on, I’m sure you’ve already looked at this site’s PR while reading this article. Free Blog Help is currently a PR4! I know I could’ve done more to bump it even higher but right now I’m pretty satisfied.

As I mentioned many times before, the PR is constantly moving behind the scenes. The published PR we see today is simply a snapshot in time and we won’t see progress (or regress) for another few months. Perhaps one day Google will be kind enough to let us see this ranking in almost real time.

Learn more about Google PageRank if you can. It shouldn’t drive everything that you do but I personally don’t like to ignore it.

If you don’t know how to check your PR, use the tool below. I’d love to see what your PR is so please share it in the comments area!

First, Congrat to your new PR, that is a great success. Second, poor me as I got PR3 only for 4 blogs however, all of them is 3 months old. How long has your blog active? It seems domain age contributed to the PR too

  Thanks, Tinh. This blog has only been active for about 8 months.
  
  The most important thing is getting more powerful backlinks. Just a single backlink from a reputable site could be worth more than hundreds of garbage backlinks combined.

Gabe – that is so cool! Congratulations!

I just moved up to PR2 … was totally ignored by Google for the first year, got PR1 the last round, now going for PR3 (in say 100 days or so it seems)… looking forward to reading your tips.

  Have you spent any time trying to attract backlinks from more popular sites? Doing so will drive a higher PR if that’s what you’re looking to accomplish.
