The Next Google Page Rank Update Of 2008
If you have installed the Page Rank (PR) toolbar in your browser, it is most likely that you are one of those PR-conscious people in the worldwide web. And if you have a new blog or a site that got penalized, you are most likely waiting for the next Google Page Rank update of 2008 .
So, when is the next Google page rank update to happen? They’ve updated in October 2007, in January, February and even in early March 2008. Why aren’t they updating now?
I got two blogs penalized. But little did I notice that my almost forsaken and forgotten literary blog got an upgrade. I do not exactly know when it happened. Probably it was in the March round. But hey, the PR is of no use for it anyway. I need the PR for my blogs that sells reviews (also known as links, but depends on whose perspective). It’s against the rules they say, but WHY?
Ok, I don’t have to shout or get mad. The ranking is Google’s creation and, just like us who want to control our own blogs, Google wants the same. Unfortunately, there are wise people who try to play the search engine results game to their advantage by buying links. Perhaps it would not be a problem had they bought them direct from Google, but it’s not nice if you purchase from a competitor. Hence, many blogs (and websites) were penalized.
To those of us who are doing or have done paid reviews, it’s not necessarily the content of our posts that matters. It’s the link on that anchor text. It’s an SEO technique, same as those found in free templates, banners, deep-linking, etc… Of course, there are exceptions. What’s the use of good reviews without the links?
Some say that the penalization only affects the toolbar but not really Google’s internal algorithms. They theorized that this was done to frustrate people who use the toolbar for reasons other than Google’s original intention. There could be truth to it.
If Google updates now, will this blog be ready? I don’t know. As of today, my PR is N/A. Not zero but N/A. I am not doing any paid posts here and I think I have enough numbers to merit at least a green dot on the toolbar. I hope the update will be done late this May 2008 as I still need more quality and power in those backlinks.
Now, tell me what you think.

Laz, I would worry less about google PR and more about rich content. I have a few links on my blogroll that offer really original and informative content and are also monetized with PR0 and yet they are still making good money out of of their blogs.

Rooturaj, you have to wait at most 90 days before the next update. For the meantime, you just have to build your blog’s foundations.

yup, sir.. you’re right that 90 days or more.. before you can see the result.. for me it took about 3 months before my PR changed from Zero. I never expect but I’m thankful.. some blogs are older than mine.. but still in PR 0.

very nice read, i also find this PR rating confusing sometimes, good to see im not alone here :S

I am suprised an confused by your post. So it is not alowed to sell links on your webpage. I thought that was one of the big purposes or generating money?? Can someone explain.

I noticed that this Page is currently PR 0. So does that mean that Google has indexed you and you’re on your way?
December 10th, 2008 at 12:08 pm
online business review, you are allowed to sell links as long as it follows certain guidelines. If the sole intention is to pass on PR, then there’s the problem.
Ben, google updates the pagerank toolbar normally once in every three months. PR0 could also mean that the site had been penalized. I’d rather see an N/A than zero on my main page.
