Google should be updating PageRank over the next few days. Keep your eyes open and see how this update reflects on your site. If your pagerank does not go up or possibly goes down, do not worry. PageRank is not very important when it comes to where your website ranks, it is more of a reflection of the work you have put in to make your site popular. I love to see pagerank climb on my websites, it lets me know that Google sees the SEO work I have put in on my sites.
SEOFriendly.com’s pagerank has not changed or went up for sometime now, I don’t know if it ever will. We get more traffic now than ever before and that makes me happy. I would trade page rank for traffic anyday.

For those of you who like to see what Google thnks about your website popularity, the Google PageRank update has started! Today at about 7 AM EST I noticed many of our domains were getting an increase in Pagerank. So far it looks like the update will put a smile on a few peoples faces.
We recently posted a Google PageRank predictive schedule and we suspected an update before April 10th. It is not the end of the world if your site does not increase in PR or decreases in PR, these updates (Good or Bad) will most likely not change your web traffic stats.
We have a lot of webmasters ask the big PR questions very frequently: When is the next Google PageRank Update?
The truth is no one knows exactly when the next PageRank update by Google will actually take place. Based off of their past updates I created the unofficial Google PageRank Update Schedule. The “schedual” is my estimate on when the next PageRank update will take place.
PageRank Update Schedual:
Google PageRank Update - December 31, 2009 – January 10, 2010 First PageRank Update - March 31, – April 10, 2010 Second PageRank Update - June 31, 2010 – July 10, 2010 Third PageRank Update - December 31, 2010 – January 10, 2011
What is pagerank? PageRank is a numeric value that represents how important a page is on the web (Per Google). Google calculates that when one page links to another page, it is effectively casting a vote for the other page. The more votes (Links) that are cast for a page, the more important the page must be. Also, the importance of the page that is casting the vote (Linking To You) determines how important the vote (Link) itself is. Google calculates a page’s importance from hw many pages and what pages link to it.
PageRank is a scale of 0-10

First, let’s get the most common question out of the way: Will rip off report remove the complaint about my company from their website? The simple answer is NO. RipOffReport.com has been online for over 10 years and they have purportedly NEVER removed a complaint from their website. The website even states that “We never remove a rip off report, even if the original author requests it.”
Rip off report is protected by the CDA (Communications Decency Act) which in short states that a website owner is not legally responsible or liable for the content a “user” posts on their website or network.
So why do companies like Reputation Armor say they can “Remove” rip off reports? The term “Remove” simply refers to the process of removing the links to the rip off reports from the top of search results, so when people search your name on Google they do not find the rip off reports (At Least Not Ranking High).
How do companies like Reputation Armor remove rip off reports (RipOffReport.com) from the top of search engine results?
The process is commonly referred to as Online Reputation Management, but technically it is Search Engine Optimization they removes it from the top of Google and SE’s.
The process is comprised of 2 main elements, Fresh Content and Link Building. There are dozens of other ingredients needed but it would take weeks to write them all on this page. To give you an idea of the BASIC process of how it may work we have listed some of the tactics below.
Create Fresh Content: Make new keyword optimized social profiles, Blogs, Mini-Websites, Articles, press releases and more. Use websites and tools like Wordpress, PeoplePond, Linkedin, Twitter, FaceBook, YouTube, Flickr and so on.
SEO Your Ass Off!: Now comes the hard part (Or Expensive), start SEO to all of the content you created. Example: If you make a Twitter account, add a link to your twitter account from your other accounts, fid others to link to your twitter account to boost its popularity and find followers. Remember to update your accounts including Twitter on a regular basis. There are hundres of SEO Tips you can find online.
Link Building: Link building falls under SEO, it is actually off-site SEO and in my opinion is very important, if not the most important facet.
Stay Digitally Active: Stay active online on social networks like twitter, and keep your online content updated!
To get professional help removing a rip off report, you can hire a reputation management firm.

There is always a lot of Hoopla and Hype about Google Pagerank (PR). Is Google PageRank worth all the web chatter? I see everyone talking about how important PageRank is, even I am caught up in the PageRank addiction.
I read a comment the other day on a forum and someone posted this comment about PageRank:
“The PageRank you see in the toolbar is a sketchy and stale metric of what a pages PageRank used to be. A simple analogy is getting into your car to go for a drive, knowing that the fuel gauge only shows the amount of fuel that was in your tank 3 months ago. But would you really trust that there is gas in it today?”
In my opinion the green PageRank bar is like your website’s report card. It won’t help much on its own, but it represents other things about your site. If a site has a PR7 and is ranking well, it’s not ranking there because of the PageRank itself, but because of what that PageRank represents – Dedicated SEO Work, lots of inbound links, several coming from other quality sites.
So it is not the PageRank that is important, it is what you did to get the PageRank that hold the true value.
I’ll certainly admit that PageRank isn’t as valuable as it once was. However, it is still reputed to be a small portion of the Google algorithm (along with 100+ other factors), making it not entirely insignificant. It might not help much, but if it helps at all then it can’t be considered “insignificant”.
