Pagerank for 2010
A couple of years ago Pagerank was big business. I remember on Digitalpoint where people would be 100's of dollars per month to have their link on a high page ranked site.
This was due to the belief that the higher the pagerank, the more popular and higher the rank your site would have. So people thought it meant if you have a link to your site on a high PR page, then the pagerank would be passed on to you too.
It did work for a time until Google reduced pagerank on selling sites, even banned them in some cases.
Now, pagerank isn't worth anything. The highest listed sites on Google aren't determined by Pagerank but by other factors - which I mention on Best Blogs in Asia BTW.
There is a novelty to having pagerank and yes, it's better than nothing. It does have a small effect on your link building and link juice but not alot.
However, I've calculated when Pagerank will happen in 2010:
- First Page Rank Update: 31st March 2010 – 30th April 2010
- Second Page Rank Update: 30th June 2010 – 31st July 2010
- Third Page Rank Update: 30th September 2010 – 31st October 2010
- Fourth Page Rank Update: 31st December 2010
