Google PageRank “PR” Update “Spring Cleaning” 2007
Thats right my fellow SEO s its that time again when we should be looking at that little green bar to look for change. I expect we will have the update any time now. Its said that each update causes a stir among the SEO community and webmasters trying to get their websites to the top of the Google Rankings.
TBPR Export: Toolbar PageRank Export - export of Real PR to the Toolbar PR 11 unit scale (no longer called a PR update as Real PR is updated continously and the Toolbar PR change is just an export of that updated value).
TBPR Export Estimation Apr 18
GDPR Export: Google Directory Export - export of Real PR to the Google Directory 8 unit scale (no longer called a PR update as Real PR is updated continuously and the Google directory PR change is an export of that updated value).

As always, don’t expect traffic or rankings to dramatically change, because these PageRank values are already incorporated into our scoring. The same quarterly-ish data push that updates PageRank in the toolbar also updates the data for related:, link: and info: (remember that operator?). You can read more about PageRank from this previous post if you swing that way. Also remember that the link: operator only shows a subsample of the links to a page that we know of. I’ve mentioned before that some data centers (I believe 64.233.183.xx and 72.14.203.xx) continue to show PageRank values from a slightly older infrastructure. Not a big deal, but I wanted to mention it for the hard-core data center watchers so that they don’t get confused.
There were some situations where site: would show supplemental results ahead of regular results. I believe we’ve changed that so that regular results will usually show ahead of supplemental results for site: queries.”

Google describes Page Rank (PR) like this: http://www.google.com/technology/
‘The heart of our software is PageRank, a system for ranking web pages’ that provides’ the basis for all of our web search tools.’
So they’re writing that it’s an essential part of the way they determine which sites rank in what order on their search results. They continue by writing:
PageRank relies on the uniquely democratic nature of the web by using its vast link structure as an indicator of an individual page’s value. In essence, Google interprets a link from page A to page B as a vote, by page A, for page B. But, Google looks at more than the sheer volume of votes, or links a page receives; it also analyzes the page that casts the vote. Votes cast by pages that are themselves “important” weigh more heavily and help to make other pages “important.”
Keep an eye on your sites and hope that all that hard work in the last 3 months shows up. Which ones of you can now say you gained a little extension to your green bar?
