December Google PR Update: Here We Go Again!

Anyone noticed PageRank (PR) changes in the last week? Google completed the last PR update for 2008 on December 31st this was confirmed by Matt Cutts soon after. My fairly new blog has jumped from 0 to 4 as a result. That's good news for me as I don't do links exchange and to be honest I stopped caring about what PR Google bestows on my sites especially when PR is NOT important for SERPs. But it help to reinforce the idea that content is king and blog owners should spend more time on writing content than participating in link programs. Good content should get natural links; I just need to start writing good content now!

That being said, some very strange PR behaviour on my own blog has me confused. New blog posts with no high ranking links in (such as the one on meta tag descriptions) got PR of 6, yes 6, where some root pages lost PR. Some of my friends blogs/websites dropped from 5 to 0 now that seems brutal but thankfully the SERP's didn't drop.

Will do some investigation and report back.

    I agree... I did check my site and with Firefox I have a PR1 and with IE6 I have a PR2 why is this different?

    Depending on which DC you connect to, you'll see a range of PR values for the same page, even from moment to moment.

    When you are looking for website design, there are many options to choose from. You must first tatke the time to ask yourself what you want your site to accomplish and more importanly who is your target audience.You may also want to compare prices. There is no set fee for web design but you can call around, provide a dollar you can spare and you'll get a variety of quotes depending on the size and how much you want to achieve the site of your dreams. The more complex your site is the more it will cost you.Most importantly, when looking for someone for website design, do your research.Ask for examples of websites that the design firm has done in the past. This can show you what to expect and you will know the quality of their work as anyone who designs websites should provide samples of their work.Google the company you are interested in to see or read any negative feedback that could save you thousand of dollars and hassles down the line.You want to make sure to find someone that will give you a fair price an
