Google has been going through a Page Rank update — rebuild­ing the index. Have you noticed any changes? Have you seen your web­site go up or down?

Roughly every 3–4 months they take a snap­shot of page rank val­ues and export them so that the new val­ues are vis­i­ble in the Google Tool­bar. Most data cen­ters that are run­ning the newer infra­struc­ture have the recent snap­shot of PageR­ank now. It may take at least 1–2 months for the other data cen­ter IP’s to get the newer infra­struc­ture in some way.

They updated PR and then it was like they were not happy with the changes and it reverted back. Tonight it looks like the rank­ings are back to the new update. Cross fin­gers it stays this time.

Check it out — how are you doing?

Any­one who has read this blog before knows that I talk about SEO, a lot!

There are many dif­fer­ent ‘avenues’ of SEO, but tonight I want to talk briefly about Content.

Fresh and orig­i­nal con­tent helps in many ways. Of course the search engine bots love it, which helps your rank­ing, but this also helps your visitor/customer/client. When you help them they will come back to see what is going on with your site. When you update, and update well by pay­ing atten­tion to their move­ment and their needs (stats — but that is another blog), you will find your traf­fic will increase.

When I say “update well” I mean that you help your visitor/customer/client to imme­di­ately know they have:

- found the right web­site for their needs
- find the right links to reach their goals

To name only a cou­ple of crit­i­cal reasons.
