Serious About Blogging? Then Read This Post About Google PageRanks (Twice!)
Almost every blogger and site owner is obsessed about their Google PageRank. The problem is, no-one can say for certain exactly how it works and Google are fairly quiet on the subject, so that the algorithm doesn’t get abused. It would probably be the biggest online joke ever if Google PageRank’s played no real role in Google’s algorithms!
Anyway, if you do believe in Google PageRank’s then this post from Smashing Magazine is the only one you need to read. It’s one of the most comprehensive posts I have ever seen and an amazing amount of effort has been put into researching how Google PageRanks work, and what factors do and don’t have an impact.
The article is based upon several sources. Some of these will invariably have incorrect information, but after reading the post twice now, a lot of the points do seem to ring true. It’s definitely given me a few ideas to try to see if I can move this site up to a PageRank of 7, or at least make sure it doesn’t drop back down to PageRank 5.

I just got through using the Pagerank prediction tool you blogged about earlier, and I can’t possibly believe it’s right, because it has one coming in at a PR of 5 (from 0) and the other at 4 (from none.. it’s a new blog).
We shall see. Meanwhile, I’ll be reading this article to see if I can find ways to maximize my rating without going the way of the link-trading that so many people seem to go for.
