Google PageRank

We were talking about Google PageRank the other day when we all got together in Chicago so I thought I’m bring it up here. Check Page RankingThis icon shows my rank and should change automagically if/when my rank changes (archived pages do not necessarily rank the same, see below). Today it’s a five, the scale goes up to ten, but it’s a huge jump for a page/site to grow. You can check you PageRank at PRchecker.info. Or include it on your site with the little piece of code that they list on the bottom of their page


So I can see I have different ranks on my archived pages, as of today:

  • Blog archive ranks 4
  • Web sites ranks 4
  • Individual Archive ranks 0
  • Today ranks 0
  • June 2003 ranks 0 (these usually take a 4-5 months to grow, I think most of my recent month archives rank 3, most older rank 4).

    1. Getting from 4 to 5 didn’t take long… the jump from 5 to 6 took forever.

      I was a 7 for a while, but then they changed something and I dropped back down to a 6, probably never to return.

    2. Not to be a downer, but: Hasn’t Google been insisting that PR doesn’t signify as much as Webwatchers think? (Which begs the question of why they maintain it in the first place…)
