The first rule of Increasing Your Google Page Rank is Not to Talk About Increasing Your Google Page Rank.
Let me back up.
I have a lot of websites I dabble on/manage/own/open to grin at. I have a passive life goal to increase my google page rank on such sites. Alas, I do absolutely nothing to reach such goal. In fact, I actually do active things to disrupt this goal, like linking to dumb articles and other internet nonsense.
Even so, on rare occasion I’ll be looking at one of my websites and I’ll realize that my Google Page Rank has…(wait for it)…INCREASED!
This provokes an immediate happy dance, the likes of which I will not replicate for anyone, ever.
Shortly after said happy dance, my levels of serotonin return to their normal base and I become accustomed to my new page rank for that particular website, feeling I thoroughly and completely deserve it, it is my birth-order-determined RIGHT and I should have had it for years.
Then, the Google Page Rank gods have at me again. A day might have passed, or maybe a month, or maybe even a year. But surely, without warning, the Google Page Rank gods rip the new page rank away from me in a way not unlike taking off bandaids from open wounds that have not yet scarred. These rips — each and every one – damage a piece of me. Not to mention my websites, whose newly lowered page ranks reflect the scars.
Why am I talking about this?
If you haven’t deduced from my cryptic hints, the Google Page Rank gods have struck again in my life. Although there were some minor let-downs in the process (one site I have went from a 4 to a 3 — sad day) the biggest boon (read: GOOD THING!) has occurred here at ClaireDiazOrtiz.com, where the page rank gods have upped my rank to…(wait for it)…a 6!
Yes!
Six is good, folks. I swear. Six is like the level where important people who say they don’t care about google page rank sit, busy with their not caring since 1999. Six is the level where your blog content is truly dynamo. With a six, I’ve undoubtedly got incredible things to say.
No, really.
For proof, see some of my life changing past blog posts, including How to Make a Tea Commercial (a fundamental skill for anyone in this day and age) and Lessons from the Breakfast Buffet (which is not just a list of things I ate that day, but rather a post with deep, hidden, as-of-yet-unrevealed meaning).
So envious, Claire, and yet, not entirely jealous since you obviously deserve it!
Well, let’s just all hold our breath until it plummets again;)
But Claire you really didn’t explain how to increase page rank.
I thought the answer was 42.
My previous employer charged more than they paid me the entire time I worked there to get companies to the page rank you have achieved. Congrats.
I am impressed by your first rule….. 🙂
Ya i also got the point what she wants to clarify on first point and it will really help in getting good rank in google search engine.
I am run for GP PR but where I can start… pls help
Congratulations. I’m stuck at 2, but I’ll keep at it like you’ve done! 🙂
Quirky article, nice to know other people get passively obsessed with page rank
you can’t survive without page rank these days. I don’t understand some sites tho. they have no blog and only a few pages and rank above me!!
Yes, the whole topic is quite confusing Claire. I see some sites that are total junk, with just a few links, and they have PRs of 5, and then other great sites with solid and sincere information and a fair bit of backlinks with only PRs of 2 and 3. Some are gaming the system well, it seems.
Yes I am agree with Ken. This topic is quite confusing. If I talk about my experience in this matter then I would like to say here that I have implemented all these factors (Guidelines to increase page rank) to increase page rank, but these are OK till some extend but if we go for Google Adword services then within few months your website PR will increase very fast. So it can be another way if we want to increase page rank fast.
I think adwords is a faster way of increasing page rank.
but adwords is expensive for a blogger beginners and don’t have a much money 🙁
Thanks for the info. Really want to see my site go up the ranks.
thats great tip.
That is a tactic that i will have try from now on since i cant get any results the “normal” way.
my website is on PR2 .
I wanna ask how much time will it take to reach me on PR5
Thanks
I found this page by asking how to increase my page rank (currently at 0!), I live in hope!
Alan
So envious, Claire, and yet, not entirely jealous since you obviously deserve it!
Thank you for the suggestion 🙂
my website is on PR1.
How to get PR5 and commenting on blogs will help?
I’ve spent hours, days, maybe even weeks working on the PR for some sites but find that given time, most sites will increase naturally. I had one client who wanted to increase from 0 to 3 and I showed her some basic things to do and after 12 months she got there! I think she spent a few hours a week on it but she’s been sat at PR3 since and hasn’t dropped.
How to increase my website page rank… Help me
I am very new to the SEO game but quickly found that the PR # has become an obsession.
Thanks for the information. Good tip to follow.
Your crazy experiments got you a well deserved Page Rank of 5. Congrats. Thanks for sharing.
Great article and Congrats for getting this stage for your blog. It will help me to increase Google Page Rank for my blog and social bookmarking site also. thanks a lot.
Great!
I have same opinion.
Well done on you page rank, I am hoping to get to page rank 1 on the next update,
I don’t want to increase page rank quick as it may land me in hot waters with the big G.
I do a bit of linkbuilding for page rank, the rest is to increase my SERPS,
Good luck and happy blogging
Nice post, and congrats on your pagerank 🙂 My site is relatively new and I have been spending more time focusing on content, search term / keyword placement, social networking growth and obtaining more traffic. But the chance to increase my Google PageRank is something that has been in the back of my mind for some time and so now I am looking for some tips on how to gradually increase it and if it really is all that important. Thanks for the advice 🙂
I can relate to the part were you said you did your happy dance when your page rank increased. I to have fell victim of the happy, happy, joy, joy dance when my page rank went up by 1 spot. Only to see it go back down to nothing the next day? Oh mighty Google, why must you take my happy dance away?
I just started my new site called http://seoboomsauce.com and I am focusing on content and traffic to start but page rank with Google is next on my list. Thanks for the actionable tips!
Please Please help me in improving my page rank. I am trying so hard, but unfortunately nothing working in my favor to increase my PR.
Please help me. Thanks
Great article. Funny. I am about to throw myself at this SEO stuff as the Google gods are hammering me in the pagerank department. I may have to get with the times to survive! 🙂 I may even have to blog and twitter and if you knew me you’d know how much that idea thrills me 🙂
Cheers again
Congrats! may you get the ultimate PR10 soon 😉
Nicely written blog, greetings from Prague 🙂
Haha but you mention it! And your rank goes up.
Our website still not display in top ten pages of google.
This really works?
what really works? I need some advice on increasing my page rank
but it’s not enaugh article about increase pr.
I used to check weekly now I rarely look but every 6 months. Nice Job…
I don’t get it Claire, are u doing the opposite :
You like linking to dumb articles and other internet nonsense ??
This is weird and confusing 🙁
Thank you for posting such an informative article. Congratulations on your page rank! Your articles are very enlightening!
very nice important post
you my visit my bd models blog to know bngldeshi models biography
This is a really interesting article (along with all the comments) however page rank doesn’t mean all that much unless you are using it for backlinks to boost a site up the serp’s. For example, getting a link from this site by posting a comment could help the rankings for my website as this page is PR 3. It is a great feeling to get high PR though and your site definitely deserves the PR it has.
Very important and helpful topic, I will try to follow it. Thanks for the post!
So, after checking out Pat Flynn’s podcast over at http://www.smartpassiveincome.com, I decided “hey I’m pretty handy with research, I’ll start a few websites as a side business and see where it leads”.
My first site has been doing well so far (www.mymodernastrology.com if you’re interested, and no I couldn’t believe that URL wasn’t taken either…) but if I had known how nebulous and completely enigmatic “PageRank” is, I probably wouldn’t have started a site. It’s a bit frustrating that Google are basically the gatekeepers of the web, and if they decide one day to change their algorithms or, oh I dunno, prioritize Google+ results over other results, they can completely screw up your livelihood.
Still, learning about all this stuff is fun, and since it doesn’t cost very much (who knew hosting cost less than a cup of Starbucks?) its a journey worth taking so far. Having a little piece of “myself” on the web is actually kindof neat.
Nice post, here I am making this comment in the hope that some of your PR magic will rub off on me !
I am kinda new to all this, is it appropriate to flirt through comment posts ?
Regards
PR understanding is a actual mystery it appears, perhaps Matt Coots could advise…
Anyway…I am only 1/10 at http//:www.indianafloorsllc.com
Very nice post. This is the answer of why my landing page is still on 1/10 and my contact page on 3/10. Thanks Claire.
very nice article on google page rank
I have a lot of websites I dabble on/manage/own/open to grin at. I have a passive life goal to increase my google page rank on such sites. Alas, I do absolutely nothing to reach such goal. In fact, I actually do active things to disrupt this goal, like linking to dumb articles and other internet nonsense.
Id really like to that pagerank dance
That’s incredible Claire. Hope to have your kind of success so that we can do the happy chicken dance together! ha
First rule is the only rule no one talks about :p
Does page ranking get you more traffic, do we really know what it means ?
So the rule is ignore Google and they will pay attention to you, like the pesky suitor who can’t stand being ignored and won’t leave you alone . Reverse psychology works huh?
Vau. This is very good if google give you PR6. Thanks for sharing your results.
I don’t get it. So is it only about sitting around and waiting for the Page Rank gods to show mercy? 🙂
Thanks for sharing. I think for good PR is to have great content and back links.
Well done. SEO is quite a skill. Good to see you can master it by laying back and being relaxed 🙂
I am still find ways to increase the page rank of my site, still one from much time, doing a lot of research online and found this site, thnx for the info
Sorry but this is the dumbest article I’ve ever read in my life
please give me some tips how to increase my website page rank.
To me too. I’ve been trying for months to take-off from PR0 with no avail. Any tips are welcome! Rick.
Thanks for this blog.. Very informative!
Thank for sharing this value information.
The important thing can be receiving back links from high-PR sites (but how to write a good article for them?)
Nice, loving the high PR 😉 As somebody before me said, I’m just happy we’re not the only ones secretly obsessing about page rank at http://www.ziandesigns.com/seo . But I’m interested (if you’re willing to share), how hard did you work on linking your website, or is it just the result of high visitor numbers?
This is a battle we all fight every day. I wish there were clear cut goals you can work for, or an objective you can obtain. You do what you can, put out good quality content, and hope and pray you get rewarded. When you work your behind off and lose ranking, it is a slap in the face…
Thank you so much for these wonderful insights. I need to take the bold step just like you. well wish me luck. Best wishes.
My site gives away accounting software. It’s been around for about 7 years now, has loads of links in from other sites, has loads of good content, and despite 10,000 unique visitors a month and well over 100,000 download of the software, its stuck with a PR of 3.

PR6 is quite amazing considering Google themselves are like what … PR7? Are you still up there with the recent February update to Google PR?
I am waiting for my website to have PR6….
I’ve been hovering around PR3 for a long time, but I also haven’t been adding any fresh content. It’s time to get my blogging efforts going again adding valuable information!
Very helpful information, best of luck! All of us at http://www.infolegends.net/ appreciate your efforts and insite!

Still trying to find the secret on Google Page rank. Meanwhile working on the SEO. Thanks
Please give me some tips how to increase my website page rank.
Thanks
Hello,
Im new blogger , i want earn from my blog, what i’ll do ??
I do envy you for managing to get a PR6. It is quite obvious though that you do deserve that (or better). May you manage a 9 soon 🙂
Yeah, the first rule about achieving anything is not to talk about it. Though I have to admit, it is hard not to say it out loud. 😀 That’s a wonderful achievement, Claire!
Dear friends,
I got google page rank 3 🙂
Thanks
What’s technique you have used to increase page rank. Please share with me.
So its good for you and your site
The Google Page Rank Gods 🙂
Great article. And it’s vastly amusing that you used the phrase “google page rank” ten times in this article about not talking about google page rank. And there you go: two more from me. Really clever. Well played! 🙂
–Lorna Joy Shashinda
Ha. OH MY.
don’t talk but do it, great article Clair
Excellent article Clair. I have a question though, I rank well organically for keywords related to my site Bicojewelryusa.com but my page rank is still N/A or PR 0. Will trying to achieve a higher page rank help me in any way if I am already on the first page of google for related keywords. Thank you for all of your time and effort. I subscribed and look forward to more posts from you.

I can never see why people are so worried about their page rank. You might as well take the time to create new content.
Impressive! 🙂 Congrats on your 6!
what to you exactly to increase page rank of your websites. The post doesn’t show how you do it.
I said the same thing, the post doesn’t deliver info. I got a blog to PR 3 or 4 I don’t remember now-but it happened over 2 years, it was on Blogspot which I SEO’d the html codes in and I posted like 1x week but over long time.
You are correct. As of today Page Rank does’nt matter the most. Just create natural backlinks and give some unique content to your readers. You’ll get the best traffic you’ve ever had.
What did you do for increasing page rank, any technique if you have kindly share it..
Hey Claire,
Thanks for your post and I would like to see your happy dance, especially when you got your ‘6’ lol.
Seriously though, as others have mentioned about crappy websites with a high PR, there must be some kind or scamy script they use, even when I see expired domains for sale they claim to a PR of up to 6 or 7 which begs the question, why did they let a high PR domain expire??? And there are plenty of them too. Also, these aledged domains are whacky too, all sorts of crazy names and ones unpronouncable!!!
Great Tip , Thank you!
Great tip. Thanks for the info 🙂
I had pr3 now it’s zero and the site it’s even complexed
Last time I have reached page rank 3.. But I deleted my old site.. lol
Hey Claire,
I know you have a big following, so I was wondering how that speak pipe is working out for you. Do people actually contact you? Do you feel like it is worth putting on a site?
If you have a second, just reply to this or shoot me an email (provided my email on this comment).
Thank you in advance!
Thank you i will check.
I was wondering what the minimum page rank is before Google ascertains that the back-link you have increases your sites rank. Is it anything above 1, or 6+? Or is the definition matter what kind of content is hosted on the site with the back-link, like lots of videos for instance.
Thanks.
Congrats on reaching a PR6!
PR3 on this page I see as well. 🙂
You’ve mastered the dark art of SEO…I’m writing a manual about the very thing at Intellitips.com
If you would like to contribute, I would be honoured.
Check it out and tell me what you think if you have time. It’ll be finished soon.
Congratulations on reaching Level 6, Nice article and blog.
Hey Claire Diaz-Ortiz – a very good and ever green topic. Most bloggers are almost after this. In my honest opinion, guest blogging and blog commenting works great in increasing page rank due to the mere fact that, if done right, they can be a great source of good quality backlinks.
nice and congrats for pr6
nice and congrats for PR 6
Can your high PR be based on a relatively few specific websites you were fortunate enough to have them link to you?
Great article, congrats on the pr 6!
I always fail to increase my pagerank. Btw, congrats for the 6
Very Nice and Straight Forwarded post.
I have no clue to increase my pagerank. This seems a much more complicated thing to me.
Hi Claire,
I think there is a lot of truth in your words.
According to my experience as much I try to improve a rank of a site in google as much it goes down.
Of course, in my case I have few exceptions, but in general my conclusion is that guys from google almost succeed to transform internet in savage field where every plant has to find its own way to survive.
Nice read. Good job on the PR6. Definitely something that requires quality content to achieve.
Good article and good luck!!
Hi Claire. thank u for ur information.
my site on google pagerank is n/a, so i have to waiting google update pagerank then i can see my rank up ??? ty
I don’t talk about pagerank .I’m blogging regularly trying to keep my site as much as w3c compatible add new content. But stiil for 2 years my pagerank keeps on 2. Can you give me idea how to raise it to at least 3? Adding to free webdirectories and everything I’ve red so far didn’t help …
I’ve been blogging professionally (meaning, I take it very seriously and make some money at it) for well over seven years. My current blog has been up and running for 4 years. I just recently reached a pagerank-5. I have done nothing but focus on building up good content with a fair to midland knowledge of SEO.
I’m not up before the sun rises or when it is long down, burning the midnight oil trying to figure it all out. I am convinced that success at blogging is like success in anything else. It’s a long, committed, faithful slog. Day in and day out, you keep writing, posting, learning, and staying at it.
I plan to blog for the long haul. So, it might be another 4 years before I see pagerank 6 or 7. But, that’s okay. I will have done something that is not very fashionable these days……worked hard and earned it.
There are no short cuts and there are no guarantees.

Page rank is good, but I think we all want to write content for real people. So let`s just try to forget about search crawlers and page ranks.
If the content and people who reads the content are real, unique, and they like and come back to rad more, your goal is achieved.
Thank you so much for this article. Really that a good article. It’s very helpful for us. thanks for giving lot of information.
gooooooooood
thanks for your blogs.
I just found that my page rank from 0 went to 2. I have been waiting for this for 5 months.I hope it will not drop.
Nice article
Page rank seems to be the equivalent today of what advertising used to do for a business. It would be nice if there were some concrete way of knowing how what to do… or even if it could be ascertained whether paid back-links are considered acceptable. Still trying to figure it out…
Thanks for the advice.
From what i understand Google are always changing the requirements. Is there a place where the publish the updates?
Congrats Claire.. Really good for you.. i wish my web had the same PR..
Nice 🙂 we hope to get six too one day :))
Great for you.. but unfortunately Google doesn’t update the PR quite as often as they usually do now.. i think it will be a good surprise when they do the update..
This is great Claire, as I am also learning bout page ranking more now, but concentrating on quality content ultimately. Keep up the good work!
Nice One
I’ve been striving to increase my page rank too, but for almost two months no PR for my blog. Hope you can help.. Thanks.
My blog used to have page rank 3 but then Google ripped it to 1 🙁
First of all I would like to congratulate for the PAGE RANK 6. My page rank is N/A and I am waiting eagerly for the next update. I heard that if we have copied contents in our site then we will not find success in page rank. I have re written the entire contents and waiting for better ranks. If no success then I will be really disappointed. Can anyone explain is that really matter.
I’ve only had my website for 3 months. So I’m not surprised it’s not PR1 or PR2 yet. But patiently waiting 🙂
Thanks Claire,
I’m waiting anxiously for the next update 😉
Thanks for the great post and congrats on PR6..but I still seem to be missing the answer…is it still just to ‘not talk about it’ as you say in the title? 🙂
Congrats you to get pagerank 6. Thanks for sharing your wonderful moment with us.
Great article and Congrats for getting this stage for your blog. It will help me to increase Google Page Rank for my blog. thanks a lot.
Page Rank is a fun number to track and it absolutely makes you feel good when it increases, but it’s frustrating when you keep creating great content and smart backlinks, but it goes down. I think I just gave up on caring about it at all a long time ago.
I hope this spammy no follow link will increase my page rank, but I don’t want to talk about that.
Looks like its a 4 now…
I have currently entered the world of comment addition. I too have suffered from the Gods for many years. Matt Cutts and crew at google, there must be a better and more humane way to roll the dice on what is a good website and that which is bad. Why cant we all just rank based on the number of hrs we have put into out SEO? 😉 Thanks Claire, I feel a little less alone as a result of your article.
Congrats on your epic PR. I’d kill for that lol. JK…well maybe;) But thank you for your informative insights into the world of SEO.
Well I lost my page rank, due to blogger taking place now as region specific. 🙁
well, it’s not pagerank any more, just forget about it and work for your website.
it’s relevancy i believe, thanks for the great post…
LOL
I’m beginning to think there isn’t any sure fire way to increase your page rank except giving it time and just sticking at it. There’s websites in my niche that haven’t been updated in years yet have a higher page rank and I can’t figure out why either. I’m hoping maybe in a few years il be high enough to outrank them lol. God fml.
😐
I have a website that gets above 300 visitors per day from google, but I don’t have pagerank for my website, I would like it if my website had a pagerank but I can still manage to get visitors for my website and also earn some money without any ads. Few things I do to get visitors for my website is, I choose my title carefully. I try to post my article on my facebook and then I just link with my youtube videos, that way google see that my site is active, and also I don’t run ads because google like sites that just wants to provide information, so who ever wants to advertise at my site I tell them write and article about your business than just advertising it.
Great article. n Congrats over the PR 6.
Our WHM Reseller Hosting Page recently got a massive PR Upgrade.. Its Amazing !
Somehow without trying too hard I had a page rank of 4 since 2009, but inexplicably, it fell to a Page rank of 2 a while back, oh well 🙂 I was thinking it may have something to do with so many people deciding to go online with a phone rather than a PC, I used to get a LOT of visitors to my flash musical instruments to play online etc.
P.S. Congrats on the 6!
I will increase Google Page Rank 🙂
my site on google pagerank is n/a
Very important and useful information. I also want to show my website on googles first page.. again thanks a lot.. 🙂
Congratulations! I have spent around 1 month on my website. I brought my “Page speed insights” to 99%. I also brought alexa rank to 250,000 . Everything is legal on my website and it is running from last 3 years. But still my PR is 0, have no idea how to proceed.
Google is now a lot of changes, and quite difficult to be able to manage a high PR blog, even that has been able to PR 5 to 7 can also get PR 0 dropped dramatically after they were struggling hard to let PR blog has not decreased, the important thing we have to be optimistic in managing a blog to be in love Google, Greetings and I also thank you for the info on this blog that really helped me
Great ways lovely to read thanks again
Hi Claire,
It is nice to read about your experienced with Google PR! , i am too happy to get my website PR – 3 in around 1and half month. It is easy to increase only you have to follow some good guidelines of SEO techniques . Thanks
Im glad you got a result you deserve! I’ve found it hard getting good fesults.
nice info…tq
higher page rank helps us to get article post from other bloggers and sites.Page rank ,is the Page Rank unrated and page rank zero different ?
You didn’t actually say anywhere how to increase page rank-the title of the post and the reason folks would click through from Google. Dissapointing.
Awsome post… Thanks for this.
great tips thaks alot
oh my god. My website went from PR2 to PR1 with the last update 🙁
i don’t know what to do..!
;(
My website have always PR0 or PR1…
My Alexa Rank decreased a lot too
Google seems to be reasonably fair with PR scores compared with some other search engines I’ve come up against. I wouldn’t pay too much attention to the odd rise/fall of a point. As long as you are regularly updating your site/blog, producing original, quality content and staying away from black hat techniques, your site should grow over time as Google learns to trust it. One of my sites (a large blog with multiple contributors) got up to PR4 in about a year, but it is now PR3 because it hasn’t been updated at all for about a year. Google notices how frequently you update your site and rewards fresh, unique copy. In contrast, my new site (online English teaching services) has gone from nothing to PR2 in about a year thanks to regular updates and some work via social nets. My advice would be: be patient and keep writing good stuff. You will be rewarded.
The main thing he was pointing out is fresh content regularly that seems most important for PR.
Hey thanks for the article. What I don’t understand is why Google is so secretive about the formula they use to determine page rank. I would have thought it would be in their best interests to make it public and have as many websites as possible adhere to its rules. Wouldn’t that make their job easier?
Something I recently discovered was the rel=nofollow thing (I’m a website owner newbie). My outgoing links to other websites always had this set, but what I didn’t account for was my banner ads which I include on every article on my site. Just had to go through over 200 pages and fix these.
Its a 4 now……you must not have that incredible of things to say…
😉
Nice post, and happy to our great result to have an awesome pr6, hope i can do more to my website too, it’s hard but i try everyday to make it a really good place for everyone!
You have posted a nice post! However, I’m trying to improve my website’s google pagerank since quite long but its stuck on PR2. I have been able to improve my Alexa rank though. Can you suggest some tips to improve google pagerank too for my website?
Thanks for the article. I’m on a mission to increase my page rank and your blog is a great starting point for information.
meanwhile my site’s page rank is still n/a 🙁 , btw congrats …..
My site is getting good alexa rank but its been long time while i could not get any google page rank. I dont know what to do to get good one.
Great post Claire, keep up the great work and you will be doing your happy dance again . I have searched everywhere to find out information about the changing of Google page rank but cannot? Do you perhaps know when the next Google page rank from Google will be updated. Btw you are very beautiful. Keep up the great work Claire.
very helpful article, thanks a lot
well I do want to see the dance , but I fear there is a fat chance of that … right!. yeah sure I am right…. well Gurley master I bow with a wink!!!
Your PR is now 4. Sorry for you. I want to see the sad dance! 😉
;(
So many people still using google, I can’t belive it. To base ranking entirely on popularity (like Google) is insane, it’s the death of art and all ‘non-mainstream’ stuff. I would say to you all, don’t worry so much about google ranking, google is not god almighty on the internet. And besides, if you’re not ranked high enough, you can always shut down your machine and smell the flowers instead.
nice topic i really like it
Google Page Rank Algorithm changes every minute or so… Today you’re up on the clouds then tomorrow you drop like a tomatoes , it makes my mind blow…
h! Claire can a high PR can give high traffic?
Have you got any answer to your question? Sounds like no-one knows for sure how pagerank get increased. I’ve seen page with very high traffic (10,000 / day) or pages with lots of back links, but still have low page rank (<2) … and I've also seen pages with few traffic, or few back-links or even low alexa # and get a 4+ pagerank
Honestly, the whole thing is quite bizarre. I operate a website about Greece as a hobby (http://griechenland-insider-urlaub.de – only in German, sorry) and have just recently done an update to increase breadth from covering 5 greek islands to 45. Was a lot of work, has community features, etc.
Now, Google gives me a bit of long tail traffic – which is the strategy for the page anyway – and i have done totally no link building for the past 3 years. Even more radical, Google Adwords has banned my site completely and I am not allowed to put any ads for it at all. The Pagerank is just a mere 1 as well, which I am keen on improving now.
Why do i tell you all this? It does not matter! Whatever anybody writes claiming to have understand how it all works, I simply would not believe. In my case, I have quite a few Page 1 (and even Top1) ranks for certain keywords on pages that have just 150 words or less, were never really SEO optimized and have NEVER been updated for 2 years! Still my traffic doubles YoY without me doing anything – I am also not getting any new backlinks. The whole thing is a big mystery with so many variables probably even Google Engineers are unable to figure out.
I have since done a good deal of SEO optimization and yet have to see any real benefit from it – will keep you posted on that one. So in essence I totally agree, keep on posting for the fun of it, write in your own style and your ranks will improve. Don’t bother figuring out how that actually works.
That’s an interesting post, with a title of “How to…” and with an ending of “don’t bother figuring out…”. Actually quite profound. Like life itself – How shall I do a suceessful life? Answer: You do a successful life by not worrying about if the life is success or not. Have fun is the key. Okay I’ll stop searching and just keep having fun!
That I highest rank that I have managed to achieve is PR2 and that was about 7 years ago.. Google sure have changed since then, it seems that it’s really hard to get a rank nowadays, as SEO techniques sure have changed since then. Thanks for this article, my new websites isn’t that old yet, I was led here researching on how to catch up and this article is an eye opener.
I have to say I find this whole page rank thing a complete mystery we currently have a page rank of 1 which I suppose is better than the 0 we had until recently, however our site gets alot of organic traffic daily so maybe it doesn’t really matter……
Nice article.
nice article Claire, now your pr is 4
Hi Claire,
My homepage used to be a 3… maybe two years ago, but it’s been a 2 for a long while now. I keep hoping I’ll check one day and it will magically increase, but so far, no luck. Now, I’m trying to increase my presence on YouTube – it’s what, the third most popular site on the web? SEEEMS like a good place to start!
I would make a 6-day party if I ever reach a PR 6 🙂
I agree. My new webpage has no pagerank now, and I would like to learn how to increase it.
I checked your site, it’s PR 4 not 6
Hello Claire ,when will be the Next page Rank update ,any idea for the dates of the Coming page rank updates ?
I do not how page rank is calculated….My blog is now more than 3 years but has been unable to get any pagerank…You are lucky to have so nice pagerank…
Impressive first rule..Thanks
Hi Claire,
I think you have done fantastic to get a PR6 even though people on here are saying you have dropped to PR4. HELLO GUYS. Even a PR 4 is great in my eyes so please keep up the good work. I will keep checking your blog for some fab tips to help our site http://www.passionsecrets.co.uk/

That’s great rule 🙂 thanks for sharing
Hi Claire,
How can I know my blog’s page rank?
Hi Joseph,
Find your PR here: http://bagics.com/pr.html
I believe that if I stop giving out dofollow links then my blog will not loose any PR from now on. What is your view?
It would have been a better job Claire, if you would have given some useful tips as well
thanks hope it helps…
I’m starting to think this: Act like the companies that get top rankings and top page rank, do the kinds of things they do or… don’t screw around with page rank – it’s a waste of time. If you want to sell lots just used paid marketing. Chasing google is like chasing the air – and it can waste life.
I would really use a steb by step tutorial on how to do it. Do you have one?
Thats so true. When you try so hard to rank on google you see its so tough. On the other hand when you focus on your content and make it even more quality content your google page tank will go high no matter what happens.
We should remember Google page ranks is not our concern our concern is quality targeted traffic. As long as we are getting it who cares about page rank.
So guys plz focus on your content more then your page rank.
Thanks.

Claire…Well….I happened to read about the Google’s Page ranking algorithm…The more links we have to other websites, the more rank we loose. The more they have to mine, the more I gain…right?
Congrats for getting this stage of PR.. actually the first rule is quite funny.
Good luck 🙂
Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. Yup – 6 is good now a days!!
I really want to see my blog rank increased, I’m working my best to get it. Greetings from Jakarta. 🙂
Before reading this article i used to think about increasing page rank but now i am changed.
My blog just turn one year last november, and it wasn’t me who notice that from n/a my blog ranked 0… My husband told me babe this is good, at least you know you are getting there, and hopefully someday this 0 could turn into 4 or 5. I rather focus on my blogging, than this number, that way if in the near future changes would be a surprise for me.
PR 6 is just incredible ! I agree with you to keep building quality content byt sometimes we do lose hope 🙁
Thanks for the great post …
Congratulations Claire!!
6 is really high and apparently your content deserve it.
Congratulations Claire!!
6 is really high and apparently you deserve it.
Interresting… however your PR is back to 4 as per today. I can’t imagine how sad you’d be.
4 still looks like an impossible dream for me.
A great article about increase page rank. For those who have not get the desired page rank, can try to make use of Google Plus and sharing blog post feature, in addition to submitting to several websites and social networking.
Really useful post about PR. If PR is still low, using Google Plus and its share feature,active in social networking to get backlinks may help blog appear in organic search result.
Hi,
Nice article. For new websites, when does pagerank comes out? how long?
Thank you! It really depends on how active the links are that point to your site. It could take anywhere from 2 minutes to eternity!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge! This information helps us to better understand Search engine page ranking.
thanks for information. how long is google to update our pagerank? like my website http;//androidstore.club is dont have any page rank
It depends on the power of the link(s) pointing to your page.
Great rules, cheers for the info, will help my ecig and eliquid website
Inspiring article, i was just looking on how to increase the PR of my site, but now i’m gonna concentrate on provinding great content 😉
Goodluck.
Jeremy.
Nice post, i don’t like when people exaggerate the topic of increasing page rank.
Still consfuse how to increase PR.
Congratulations! A PR of 6 is really impressive!
Chrome plugin says it’s 2 🙂 Who’s the one to believe? 🙂
Yes, it’s a great feeling when you see your pagerank going up. Non the less you have to make sure you have quality site with good content. Of course no one will link to you if your site is trash.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for the suggestion, let try it and find it more about it.
I guess that you broke the first rule because your website just dropped to PR4. Sure, you knew that and you probably can’t do nothing about it, but even if you could. What would be the point of that? I know that PR is pretty irrelevant these days, right?
Thanks for sharing this amazing post. Now I’ll concentrate on my content rather than page rank.
Hi Claire nice write up about pagerank. Mine is still 0 but yet i still recieve enough business to keep me going. I would love to see how it would work if i got mine up to and 6 like yours 🙂 Ged
Thank you, Claire, for sharing your thoughts with online community. It looks like your post was created in 2011? Any new thoughts/ideas about the value of PR?
What I love about this post is that as well as talking about your success with page ranking, it displays a lot of your humour.
It’s a funny article, but is very useful, because it describe in a very funny way how google work with this Page Rank evaluation.
Great article! But now for Google is not !important PR. I think DA, PA, CF and TF are important for Big G
very good article i really like this
Thoroghly enjoyed thanks for the article
wow…quite fascinating though
Woah! I’m really enjoying the template/theme of this blog.
It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s very difficult to get that “perfect balance”
between user friendliness and visual appeal.
I must say you’ve done a very good job with this.
Also, the blog loads super fast for me on Opera. Exceptional Blog!
Thank you for this specific info I wass basically researching all Yahoo to
be able to find it!
Great post. I will be facing some of these issues as well..
Awesome article.
Wow that was odd. I just wrote an extremely long comment
but after I clicked submit my comment didn’t appear.
Grrrr… well I’m not writing all that over again. Anyways, just wanted to say
superb blog!

The website style is perfect, the articles is really excellent : D.
