Page Rank Update?
Posted Sep 26, 2008 @ 10:17 pm, Viewed by 559 Visitors, Read 619 Times.Being new to the entire SEO game, I'm excited to go through my first Google page rank update. Both of the sites that I've been working on picked up some page rank. I realize that it doesn't mean much when I'm still on page 24?? or so for my keyword, but is nice to see some progress as I work on moving my way up the rankings. I'm basically blogging about this so I can look back at the next update and remind myself where I was then.

I'm going to have some questions on Tuesday 
Good luck Scott... see you at the top
Hey Scott,
Funny that you write this as I just noticed 2 of my other blogs with a drastic uptick in PR rank...though I was seeing things at first and had to refresh and shutdown and reload again but it was there...
keep up the good work

And now Scott too has a compulsive disorder like the rest of us.
Congratulations!
ROFL--Exactly!
Scott: "Hi, I am Scott and I am a toolbar PR-aholic"
Everyone: "Hi, Scott!"
(GRIN)
Congrats Scott, there is nothing like that first update! It's always nice to see your hard work rewarded, you will be ranking in no time I'm sure.
I just wish there was something a little more accurate or that Google would be a little more forthcoming with the data. The more I learn about SEO the more I come to realize that the "Foolbar" means can give one a false sense of hope (or drag you through the mud) while all the time little to nothing actually happens in terms of position or traffic.
For now I guess it is enough to get rid of the shakes 
credit to EB on the foolbar (not coined by me)
Actually, loudog...that term was there long before me as well! Maybe Morgan coined it??? I don't even remember, in all honesty...
It has been around for a while. The only term that I have officially coined as far as I know is "defensible link building". (grin)
@the shakes--too funny
Best
Eric
Loudog,
I didn't realiize you had just acquired the disorder. The webmaster tools ca be just as madening.
Foolbar has been around a long time and shows up many places, not so sure it started here.
Had it for a long time * deep breath
I have just now come to terms with admitting it publicly.
Back in thge day, before I installed the tool bar I used to send Morgan 10 emails a day as a way of dealing with my disorder (now I only send 5 a day).
Look at this thread from way back in the begining of 06 (please no one bump it)http://www.realestatewebmasters.com/thread5796.html
That was when Morgan used to like me.
It's funny - I used to be a PR-aholic and the time between updates seemed forever. Reading this post I thought "didn't we just have an update?" I'm cured!
Once my sites started reaching top search positions PR was no longer important to me. I think I was more interested in it when trading links was popular.
Good Luck
Scott,
Glad the update went well for you. It definitely can make you feel good to gain ground on that little green bar 
A blog post is like a picture that "is" a "thousand words" - great for saving memories and reflecting on the past
