Page Rank Update - What The ****
Written by mbpage on July 28, 2008
So I’ve just been through my first Google Page Rank Update. Where is the science related to this? I have a dozen or so sites that have accquired PR1 & PR2 status out of the 35+ I have developed over the last 4 months.
Why some have been awarded PR and others haven’t is a complete mystery to me. One site, another blog I have only made 2 posts on in the last 4 months and has no back links and no traffic (now PR1) whilst this site posted to regularly and having a number of back links and good traffic gets no PR at all.
I’m not attached to PR (which is just as well) because it seems completely random. In fact on of my sites got a PR2 that is only just a month old and hasn’t really been worked at all yet.
What has your experience of PR been - I’d love to hear from you please leave a comment.

Lot’s hypothesis on this. A site can do very well with a low page rank vs a site with a higher page rank.
Consider the generic keywords that make up the domain name and it’s keyword popularity and word of mouth popularity to give it organic traffic. I have seen some PR1 sites do much better than PR4 sites. Also, depends on the keyword competition for what the site ranks for.
