Google PageRank and backlink update followup

As I reported recently, Google is in the midst of updating its PageRank and reported backlinks, for the three billion plus pages in its data base.



For those of you who are interested in your blog's PageRank and incoming links, this is an important time. In case you were wondering, Google updates them about once a month, but that can vary widely. Google likes to keep everyone off balance in that regard!



If you are unaware of where your blog stands, you need to download the Google Toolbar. It has an indicator of both PageRank and backlinks.



It can be downloaded directly from Google:

If any of you have experienced an increase or decrease, in PageRank and/or reported backlinks, please let me know.



It's my opinion, that blogs generally do very well, in regard to Google PageRank and reported backlinks. One of the strengths of blogs, is their ability to score very highly in these areas.



I think that blogs, because of their frequently updated content and generous linking and link trading policies, will outscore many traditional static websites.



If any of you wish to share your experiences in this, or any other Google issues, please let me know.



It would be interesting to hear some personal information about how your blogs are faring with Google. That would include what's happening with your PageRank, backlinks, and search. Search is where your blog appears when you enter your main keywords in the search box. What page does your blog fall upon?



For example, if you enter... blog business ... in the Google search box, Blog Business World ranks Number One on Page One (out of over 3 million returns), for that phrase.



As a new site, Blog Business World has a good PageRank 5 (PR5) and shows 135 PR4 or higher incoming links. Google only reports PR4 or higher backlinks. The backlinks total is also available on the Google Toolbar.



Feel free to let me know how your blog is doing in Google.

I'm sure it's going great!



And if not, why not?
