Google update snips a point off here and there

google update

It looks like Google did a page rank update recently and it’s not as vicious as the last one where many blogs were stamped with a multi-point decrease. Fiddyp got a single point dropped on the main page, down from 5 to 4. The CommentLuv plugin page has still retained it’s PR5 at least.

My elottery site actually went up to a 4 from 2 (it used to be 5 though!) and a couple of my other sites had a small increase. Even an old blog that has had a “site moved” on it for months went up a couple of points.

How did you fair?

    None of my sites went up, one went down, but one also got nicely indexed with a lot of the deep pages having pagerank :)

    rhys: I seem to have more pages indexed on google too. I’m pretty sure my lack of socializing on the web while I’ve been so busy was a factor in the main page going down. It’s no biggy though, got plenty of other things that are moving on nicely!

    Mira: it shouldn’t affect anything here, I’ll get around to doing a spring clean soon. lol, every time I say that I get another contract!

    On the last update I went from a 4 to 0 and I am still PR0, so it hasn’t affected me at all. At least I don’t have to worry about them kicking me while I’m down as I can’t go any lower.

    I wonder what it takes to gain blogs in google as these changes can be very significant to the traffic the blog gets. Do you know why the PR changes?

    sire: I am pretty sure they wont go that far (or will they?) lol

    vivian: if I knew then I’d made a bundle on SEO services!

    Nicole: I think having a badge for pay per post is like a hex to PR. That’s what got many high PR sites stung last time around

    Hi Andy! I remain at 0 of course. It seems like almost 40,000 incoming links would get me a PR1…doesn’t it? Haha…I have absolutely no idea why they shafted me. Overall, it still hasn’t affected my natural search engine queries.
