Devil Works

Sitepoint is reporting Google is doing it’s visible page rank update again and unfortunately I’ve left my run a little too late with no changes happening on any of my sites.

All is not lost though. Google is constantly updating it’s page rank so even though this site might be reporting a PR of 1, It may actually be higher based on the new backlinks I’ve gathered in the last month or so. Therefore my rankings in the Search Engine Results Pages (SERP’s) aren’t being effected just because my visible page rank is so low. Unfortunatley this is the situation across all my sites.

My main frustration from not improving my page rank comes from advertisers reliance on it as a measure of a sites status. Most of the review and text link brokers use it as a measure of how much a link or paid post is worth, so it looks like I’ll be in the doldrums for another quarter.

If you think your Page Rank might be updating then Dig Page Rank will show your PR as it’s been reported by the different Google Data Centers. If there are different numbers being reported from the data centres then it’s likely your visible page rank is about to change.

Just came across some useful SEO tools at Market Leap.

Link Popularity Check will tell you how many links you have in Google, Yahoo and MSN and will also compare your site with 3 others that you can nominate, as well as other sites in your market.

Search Engine Saturation allows you to check how many pages you have indexed in the three search engines, and also compare your numbers with your competitors.

Keyword Verification checks the first three pages of the search results for your chosen keyword to tell you where you are listed for that keyword.

Another site I have (that is powered by wordpress) has a page listed in google that I created three days ago. But the new page and the root index page are the only two listed in google. The sites been up for about two months and has about 20 pages.
I can only think of some kind of wierd partial sandbox effect. Anyone else got any other ideas ?
