Have you checked your PageRank lately? Google has just updated it's first PR update for 2008

I'm still confused in how Google operates their PageRank. I lot of SEO individuals state that the PageRank (PR) has no bearing in being in the top 10 for a google search word.

For example, the keyword fha secure programs has been showing my website in the top 3 for google for the last couple of months.

This page is only ranked as a PR 1. Some others that are located in the top 10 are ranked 2 or higher.

Homepossible Mortgages also ranked in the top 3, and only a PR 1.

Super jumbo mortgage charlotte shows up as Gray on the PR, and is ranked #2 today.

My Active Rain North Carolina Mortgage Lender blog is ranked PR 3, and is located as the #3 listed.

What surprises me is my Request More Information page is a PR 2, and it doesnt have any information!

Charlotte Home Mortgages has been greyed out, but it located in the top searches also.

 

I just think it's funny how things operate....and just when you 'think' you figured it out....Google updates their PageRank settings again!

There you have it--take advantage of the placement and update your 'info' page so that people that click on it will click through and give you a call!

Good advice Debe.  I plug in my name just to see what pops up and it is amazing the information I find.

The page ranks are rank at times....but they go by the number of characters and key words within sections to form rankings...keeping up with the methods and options would be a full time job...better to just keep changing content to keep your site active.  Nice post Robert.

Adjustments are made regularly to the page rank system to avoid people gaming the system. If you could totally understand the Google system, you could make money with a competing system. LOL

I am completely confused about PR. I haven't been able to find any information on improving it that speaks in my language LOL!

How do I check page rank?  I've tried a couple of times and can't seem to find the right place to go!
