Page rank is one of the essential criteria for SEO to achieve better search engine ranking. There are various discussions going on at various leading forums and SEO blogs about current page rank update in July 2008. SEO expert always dream to increase page rank for the sites on which he/she is working. Google never announced official time for page rank updates but as per my experience can say that, Google updates page rank usually every 3-4 months. Each updates
bring some new hope and prediction for next coming PR updates. It is very difficult to predict the PR; SEO should have following characteristic to predict more precise page rank for websites on which he is working
- Sound knowledge of PR calculation formula
- Sound knowledge of linking structure of website
- Sound knowledge of thematic link building techniques
- Good analytic and strategic knowledge of SEO
- Sound experience in SEO industry
This is not everything about SEO but there are many more points that affect a lot. Based on page rank updates in July-2008, I have predict some points which will help to get better page rank in next PR updates predicted in October or November 2008.
- Only thematic links will work
- If you are long race horse, never go for mass link building
- Links from relevant content is more helpful
- Of course PR matters of link page from which you are getting back link.
Its easy to get pr3 or pr4 but its very hard to get pr5 and more Link baiting will be more helpful. I know that PR is not more mportant from SERPs point of view but still it is important for website authority and valuation.
