PageRanks were updated yesterday and many of my fellow bloggers are celebrating their new numbers. If you don’t know, PageRank is number given to sites to gauge their importance and popularity based on link analysis. It’s absurdly complicated and I can’t even begin to describe how they determine what site is which rank since it is more complicated than just counting the number of incoming links but the general rule is the bigger your site, the higher your PageRank.
While most bloggers in our little “circle” have received new numbers since they were previously at PR0, I’ve remained at the same PageRank since last update, which is a respectable 4. Apparently the slope gets steeper as you climb higher and higher and it gets exponentially more difficult to achieve high PageRanks.
I’m not really one of the “Make Money!” blogs (although I do enjoy the extra income and sharing tips here and there) so I’m not quite sure what PageRank actually…does. I always hear the big fuss about it every time updates roll around but I’m still not quite sure how exactly this number affects our sites. I can only assume that it has some sort of effect on how high we are on search engine results and such.

Hehehe, I just found out my PR is 4 and I was excited but I too did not really know why. I just know it’s supposed to be good.
Mine is 5 for blog.fs-studio.eu but it falled down to 4 from 6 for http://www.fs-studio.eu. No idea why =D
I’m not sure what to believe regarding my page rank. One tool I used suggested it would come out at 4 (all the datacentres with a rank had 4 and the rest 0) but the search status plugin toolbar for firefox is still showing 0. Oh well I’ll just wait and see – it is probably only an ego thing for me anyway.
mine’s showing the same thing. some dc’s are showing msd at 0 and some at 4 and my toolbar still shows 0. i guess i’ll just keep waiting.
Google PR is way overated … however it does help making money with any website!
People just seem to flock to pages with high PR!
Hi there,
I wish it wasn’t so soon myself, I just started my blog recently, so that means I’ll likely be stuck with a PR1 if I’m lucky
But I know it’s the time that we all axiously await for. I also have a website, so I’m looking forward to it for that one.
BTW, I stumbled across your site from another listing you as part of the Technorati favs exchange.
I’ve already added you to my favs.
My username is fastfastlane, and link to my fav is

Cheers!
Actually, everyone starts at PR0. I wouldn’t worry about it too much…it only affects advertising and such I think, which really shouldn’t be the first thing you focus on when starting a blog.
I’m still at 0
