Still No Page Rank Update For July
Another weekend has gone by and still Google is teasing us by not releasing its latest Page Rank update. Many people agree it is long over due – it was expected by some at the end of June and by most by the start of July 2010.
Page Rank is one of those strange things on the internet full of contradictions. It doesn’t really mean anything, but nearly everyone wants a good Page Rank. Google tell us that we should not ‘abuse’ Page Rank by selling and buying links based on it, so why do they make it open to all of us?
Well, in short, by making the data available through the Google Toolbar, we are more likely to install the Toolbar to get at this information. Then, because we install it and tick the box to allow it to feedback the information to Google as to what page we are looking at so that we see the Page Rank information, Google can then track our internet browsing activity.
It seems that I am getting carried away with Big Brother type conspiracies, but actually, it is far from it.
I’ve been looking recently at various information and it does seem that Google is doing its absolute best to get at as much traffic data as it can, from Alexa, Analytics, Feedburner and the Google Toolbar Page Rank widget.
Why? Well it is actually very simple. By knowing which sites get the most visitors and which sites are most sticky, Google can then send visitors to the sites that people are finding most useful.
Quite clever really, but it depends on a continuing interest in Page Rank and that is done by updating it and giving us something more to talk about. There have been little ‘adjustments’ this week, so maybe we shouldn’t expect a major July 2010 Page Rank update. Maybe we should instead expect the next major update to be an August 2010 update?

I agree totally with you! But, I do remember a couple of years ago when we went 6 months between updates. Google do like to confuse us.

It would be nice to see this overdue update soon. I am hopeful of an increase (arn’t we all) There is another and potentially more important way to see if Google loves you. Check the SERPS on a known keyword or phrase, note yhe sites directly above you and below you. If you move up ar down on this list you will have your answer.

Indeed Joe, you are right. Google updates Page Rank constantly, but only updates the toolbar ever so often, so we can hopefully second guess using your method.
That’s why I’m hopeful that a few of my sites will increase as their traffic levels have shot up! Let me know how your Page Ranks go!
