April 2008 Google PageRank Update

Published by at 11:23 pm under Google PageRank

It appears the (unofficially scheduled) April Google PageRank update has occurred, or is in the process of happening.

I’m back up to a 5 (after mysteriously losing a point after the last update).

Let me know how you faired.

Update: This PageRank Checker seems to be working and appears to be consistently showing the updated rank, and another is here. I didn’t link to any earlier because all the ones I tried were either not working or freezing my browser.

    Still on 4 so no change for me – unless they haven’t got to my blog yet. I’m still not sure how I got 4 in the first place!

    Up from a PR3 to a PR4 on the main domain now :) Interestingly though, one of my internal pages is now a PR6 (!!!!), and it’s really not a great page in my opinion… more a post written in passing! Still, shouldn’t complain, but it just illustrates to me that TBPR really does seem to be meaningless…

    I did not fair as well and have lost another point with this official/unofficial update. Its odd as it seems since SERPs continue to climb and I am at loss why this is happening. I’m always trying to get links but maybe the links are not the best in G’s opinion. Any clues into this PR mistery?

    Some of my sites have gone down, others have gone up.

    As far as I can see any of the sites I’ve overhauled recently have lost page rank! And the ones that have remained untouched have either gone up or stayed the same.
    Does anyone know if the PR update is over?? I’m getting differnet results for some sites depending where I check.

    well I am happy. Gone from big fat zero to 4! W00T!!! I exist!

    Thanks for the heads up babe. Now must go and run around the lounge room screaming like a mad woman and scare the bunny…

    Peter – yay, looks like a 4 – finally!

    Guerra – A 4 is still really good – maybe next time.

    Burgo – good stuff. A PR6 internal? Wow, be interesting to see if it stays?

    Toby – Sorry to hear that. I’m not really sure. Could depend on the rank of sites linking to you or the relevance to your site… (assuming you haven’t done anything that could see you penalised)

    Lightening – Way to go!!!! :)

    Ben – yay!

    Jen – you went dropped too (after last time). At least we got it back.

    Webmaster guy – that’s bizarre! Not sure that it’s entirely finished….

    Karen – A 4 is not to be sneezed at. There seems to be quite a hurdle from a 4 to a 5 (and then more of a hurdle going up from there)

    Kelley – swear long and loud enough and G has to hear you! Hope the bunny didn’t have a heart attack.

    Suzie – w00t! Go Des :)

  15. Riaynon 30 Apr 2008 at 4:35 pm

    I am at a big fat 0. Then again, I have only been blogging from my new domain since the beginning of April. I guess I will be ranked at the next pageranking.

  16. Megon 30 Apr 2008 at 4:45 pm

    Riayn – it’s probably a bit too much to hope for after just a month, so no doubt the next update.

  17. Gregon 30 Apr 2008 at 5:58 pm

    Hmmm so far a bit of a mixed bag, a few gains on my sites and one that i was hoping to move up (hobartdaily.com) just staying steady

  18. Colin Campbellon 30 Apr 2008 at 11:48 pm

    Still not consistent, but the toolbar is showing 5. Very odd to be so dependent on something so random. It is like depending on your kids to bring breakfast in bed. I am still waiting;}

  19. Megon 01 May 2008 at 12:14 am

    Greg – gains are good, and steady better than a drop 😉

    Colin – I think once they are all in sync it’s not so random (I’m seeing 5 too – this is good).

    At the end of the day, it *doesn’t* really matter terribly much though. We just continue doing what we do… 😀

  20. Gueraon 01 May 2008 at 7:31 am

    Oh, Meg, I am happy with a 4! Not really expecting it to be any higher.

    I’ve tagged you for a meme, BTW. :)

    My site’s pagerank down:( 5 to 4

  22. Kinon 03 May 2008 at 12:10 pm

    Up from a 0 to a 3 for me – finally :)

    Up from 4 to 5.
    So obviously very happy with that. :)

    up 3 to 4, back to where it was last time

  25. Rhodos Greeceon 17 May 2008 at 3:45 pm

    Mine stable on 3 but three of my other websites from 3 they went to zero. How we can predict Page rank on the next update? Is there any way?

  26. Megon 17 May 2008 at 11:27 pm

    Not really, but this site might give you a guide.
