Happy PageRank Day ;)
After long time, it looks like Google PageRank has been updated for many web sites. Though SmartBloggerz HomePage still remains a PR4 blog but I can confirm this news because In October month, due to breaking of some rules of Google Webmaster Policy, I had to live with a N/A PageRank. But My whole blog was properly indexed and was receiving Google traffic.
The Rule I broke was that the links were do-follow in the text link and banner ads.
After that, I just went and made all of them NoFollow and striclty added a clause in the “Advertise Page” about this. Then I filed in a Re-Consideration Request in Google and the result was that the PageRank was recived back and now all my readers can enjoy it.
The Interesting Thing which I have noticed in this PageRank Update of my blog is that many of my URL’s which are redirected are having greater PageRank than my blog i.e greater than PR4.
Here is a list of few of them:
So, What about your PageRank? Has there any change occurred in it?

What a great site you have. Just check that you have a page rank 4 with thousands of strong backlinks, and an alexa of 50,697. That’s amazing! I believe it’s all pure hardworks and efforts to bring in interesting and useful articles.

hmmm, let me see. Since links to websites for purpose of making money is pulling the PR down, how about links to government websites and news, will the PR increase?

But are you sure that they (.edu) sites still give more outbound links. Also, if the outbound links, increase the link juice divides more.

Mine’s a PR3. It’s been a PR3 since within two weeks of starting it. It dropped to a PR2, briefly, and I have no idea why. It’s back to PR3, and I still have no idea why. I’m not sure I care. I’m actually quite tired of being grated, ranked, rated, starred, etc. Web 2.0 reminds me, painfully, of middle school.

It’s widely knows as Google Dance in which your PR updates quite many times. But actually you should not worry about it anymore as Google have itself disagreed that it plays any role in Search Rankings. But having an higher PR is a great fun and looks good for those who only work for improving PR.

Haha, but having high PR is not 100% fun. Actually, it can bring people to stress and fear when google pr update is come (just like on 30 October 2009). It’s easiest to reach than to keep, right?

Hmmm no Akira. If we haven’t done, anything violating Google’s TOS and if we are sure in it, then we have no reason to have stress on it. We can be sure, that our PR will stay the same or increase in the update.

Good job on the PR4! We do share the same mark but I’m not really obsessed at it.
Numbers are just plain representations of how we’re doing but that doesn’t mean it’s the totality of who we are as a blogger or as a person either. Bots doesn’t have feelings, humans do. I always have to remind myself that every interaction is an opportunity, you can make it or break it but being true to yourself has its rewards and one of those are readers and commentators that will keep on coming back regardless of what the numbers are.

Though PR is a mere number and completely dependent on Google, it is the view of reputation on our site by other people. So we cant deny it and everyone, is willing to get better PR.

Congratz for your PR achievement.
I’m not take concentration on pagerank, since i’m MMO in other way (not blog monetizing). That’s why my PR is not increased at all.
Well, pagerank day is happy day but also bad day for some people

Hey Typhoon, I have got a question here. I have seen some of the domains with PR2 or PR 3 selling at DP. Can I buy them and give a link to my site, Can this give PR to me as there is only one external link and the whole PR flows to me?

I would say try that on your own risk..
But a cool way I would suggest is by sponsoring a wordpress theme..Just go to DP, you will see lots of designers seeking for sponsorship for their theme in return of which you will be able to place your anchor text dofollow link. I think it’s a clean way to gain lots of backlinks as hundreds of people are searching for free wordpress theme.
Make a Good decision while choosing a theme. Make sure it’s based on niche so that you get links from the same niche based blogs if they use that theme.
