SEO Consult Report Google Page Rank Update For April 3rd, 2010
April 3rd, 2010 by Susie
Google has completed a PageRank update across the web. SEO Consult has monitored and reported several PageRank increases on many of our monitored websites, having a positive effect on the SERP rankings on 03 April 2010.
This is the second time that Google has decided to make the update over a national bank holiday in the UK – the last update being over the Christmasmas period with the update happening on 31 December, 2009.
This update will be welcomed by many website owners. Google PageRank gives an indication of the relevance applied to any given web page, delegating a score of between 0 to 10. This also assists searchers who use PageRank as an indication of the authority applied by Google to a webpage.
How is PageRank Calculated?
The full PageRank algorithm was created by Larry Page at Stanford and is as follows:
PR = 0.15 + 0.85 ( PR(Backlink 1)/TotalLinks(Backlink 1) + PR(Backlink 2)/TotalLinks(Backlink 2) + … + PR(Backlink X)/TotalLinks(Backlink X) )
Recent rumours have circulated in the industry that PageRank could well disappear over time, with websites potentially having their last PageRank sticking to them for life. For high PageRank sites this would be welcomed, but for low ranking PR sites this could only be negative. If the rumours prove to be true, in time PageRank could just be removed and not be visible at all. This is another potential option Google could utilise if they so wish.
Many SEO companies and webmasters focus on PageRank as an indication of success, however PageRank cannot and should not be forced – the process should be a natural indication of the authority your webpage has built through your efforts to attract targeted visitors.
We have seen many low PageRank sites that have very good SERP rankings, hence proving PageRank does not mean high rankings. However, the longer term strategy of a webmaster or site owner is to build authority and rankings for overall stabilised success, this can be achieved through natural methods of search engine optimisation to attract visitors to your target webpage.

This is confusing, what does it mean? Anyone able to shed some light on this?
There’s an update?
Well, mine’s still stuck at PR 3.
i agree with your sentence – many low PageRank sites that have very good SERP rankings, hence proving PageRank does not mean high rankings.
Why people more rely on Page rank, there are so many sites without page rank on ranking and gets good traffic as well.
My site has got page rank of 2
mine is still stuck at pagerank 4. huhuhuhu
It was very informative.(how to calculate a page rank).
Thanks For Posting
Oh.. Bummer my site’s pr hasn’t changed at all.. still stuck at pr3 but some page’s of mine are as high from pr 3 to 5..
Hello to calculate the page rank for a page, all of its inbound links are taken into account. These are links from within the site and links from outside the site.
As per google alog method of calculation pr
PR(A) = (1-d) + d(PR(t1)/C(t1) + … + PR(tn)/C(tn))
My website stuck to PR 3 from last 9 months despite having increase in traffic of 10 times.
It appears that most sites will just retain the same PR though. That is the trend I am seeing.
i agree with your sentence – many low PageRank sites that have very good SERP rankings, hence proving PageRank does not mean high rankings.
I think today there is another PR update but i havn’t seen any change on my sites?
Thanks for this excellent information
,but my site’s pr hasn’t changed
One simple idea why PR will not remain static forever is , “Web is not going to be the same everyday and new websites are always emergying”
Hey Friend… Your Info is very Useful.
and I think you well aware of Google PR ranking system. Can you please tell why Google Delaying to update PR?
I expected Google PR will get updated this month on July 03. But till now there is no changes reflected on my PR sites. My sites are still the same PR. When will PR update?
My site seems to be stuck at PR3. It has been there for a few years in spite of adding a significant number of links.
One of my websites has been stuck at PR1 for as long as I remember despite having a huge amount of backlinks and a steady flow of traffic. Other sites of mine have a fraction of the traffic but have a better page rank. As much as I understand how PR is supposedly calculated, I really don’t understand why that one site is stuck at PR1.
I think the next PR update is soon to happen. Maybe August 30th. It’s probably going to upset a few blackhatters!
if my website has 50 back link from pr0 site.. then how much pr will consider for my website?
waiting for reply?
I think the 3rd PR update will happen in the end of October
Let’s wait and contemplate.
PR has been updated for so long time, about 7 months!!
Great blogg don’t understand why google doesn’t publish the PR schedule publicly and 3-4 months is a very long time to wait for an update
someone told me that google won’t update pr anymore,is it true?
Me too. I think the updates need to be done at frequent interval, if not on regular basis.
