Page Rank Update In Our Toolbars

**Phoenix Realtor** · 07-14-2005, 06:02 PM

Well, my brand new blog is PR 2/10 from 0. And, all of the new pages on my main site have PR now. Seems to be eratic right now...

I even see back links in the tool bar for my new blog! Could be a double wammy for us.

Anyone else see any changes?

My main site jump up to PR 5. My blog is staying at PR 3.

Congratulations on the 5 Kyle!

Thanks man. Congrats on your blog seeing some PR. It's hard to get PR on those blogs.

I noticed this site is showing PR 3 on some data centers.

I noticed something very interesting with this PR update which seems to confirm an assumption I made on the last update regarding links pages.

One of our sites moved to a PR5. In most cases, the second level pages are PR4 and the third level pages are PR3 - except for the links pages. The second level links pages remained at PR3 and the third level links pages remained at PR2.

Perhaps the PR update has not propogated through all of the pages, but I don't think that is the case. As I stated earlier, I noticed this on the previous PR update.

That sounds like a good Analysis HHI!

My new site http://TheBroadwayGroup.com is pr5 and most sub pages are pr4. The blog is PR3. I did very little optimization. All of the pages are pure content pages with information for the various sections of Miami and the Miami Beaches. In addition http://cssdesignmagic.com went from PR4 to PR5.

What does it mean? We all know you can have a good PR but Google will keep the site in the sandbox for months or even years so why even bother with Google.

Toolbar PR is nice, but SERP's are what counts.

Because Google handles 50%-60% of all web surfer search queries.

It will pay off big time when released fromt the sandbox - I witnessed that with one real estate site - we couldn't figure out what to do because it ranked #1 in Y! and MSN, but nowhere in Google. When it was released from the sandbox (after almost a year) it appeared on the 2nd place on most competitive keyphrases for that site - the owner is busy working the leads now and don't hang out in the forums as much
