Getting Sales from Social Media Marketing

Google updates it’s toolbar PageRank.

By Colin Boyd • Mar 2nd, 2008 • Category: News, SEO

It has been reported on many search engine marketing forums that there is an update happening of the Google tool bar for website PageRank.

After running some checks across several Google data centers it would seem that an update is on the way.

The last update a few months back caused a slight stir on these same forums with a lot of websites losing some PageRank. This sending some SEO guys in to a panic.

I personally believe that PageRank shouldn’t be classed as important as most people do, keep your links clean and the incoming links at a steady growth and you should stay clear of PageRank drop of and penalties.

It is also important to remember that not all sites increase or decrease in a PageRank update, sometimes staying the same doesn’t do any harm to your ranking positions.

    Nice mug shot :p I’ve been noticing that the export of PageRank is becoming more and more frequent just now. Looks liek a lot of downgrading is taking place in PR across the web. With so many monolithic companies online: WordPress etc. Will no doubt become more and more.
