My Google PageRank is 5! I’m beating top bloggers!
October 28, 2007
I checked my Google Pagerank and it read ‘5′. I was very surprised and and excited. Tech Help Videos is about three months old and to get a Pagerank of 5 is a great achievement. My next goal would be to either maintain this rank or increase it to 6.
Top bloggers get slapped in the face!
Unlike mine, many top bloggers got their Google Pagerank reduced. The top blogs include
John Chow dot com PR 6 to 4
Engadget PR 7 to 5
Quick Online Tips PR 6 to 3
It seems that the reason for this decrease is due the the blogs/sites selling text links. And this does make some sense. For a detailed article on why selling links can hurt your Pagerank, please click HERE. I don’t sell links, nor do I sell any ads. I want my readers to get the best possible user experience. That is without any annoying pop ups and without any kind of ads.
Update - There seems to be an error with Google Pagerank for some sites/blogs. Some blogs got their Pagerank decreased at first but back to normal now. The blogs that was affect by this error included:
Problogger - PR 6 to 4 PR 6
CopyBlogger - PR 6 to 3 PR 7

I’ve never sold links, and Copyblogger’s PR has jumped up to 7, not dropped to 4.
Congrats to you on the PR 5 though!

Goes to show maybe PR isn’t everything. What do they care? They get traffic with or without it. Their PR could be zero. What would it matter?

Hi Brian Clark (CopyBlogger), sorry for adding you to the thumbs down list. But now I will exclude you from the list.
And congratulations of getting PR of 7! That is my aim next time.

Is this from O to 5 in 3 months?

Yep! That is from 0 to 5 in 3 months and this blog has only been three months. You can take a look at the archives. There are only four months listed. I got the PR 5 when there was only three months.

I thought your readers might want to know where they can check their website’s google pagerank, since some of the other sites don’t work anymore.
They can also add a code to their website to brag about their high google rank.
