Chip's B2B Tip #61 - Google PR Updated

.
B2B Tip #61 - Check Your PR
.

Quick Note:

I just got another wonderful newsletter from Dr. Andy Williams (of ez-search-engine-optimization.com) stating that Google had finally gotten around to updating its PR numbers (typically - 'Page Rank' ... perhaps more meaningful when called 'Public Relations'.)

(He also mentioned a couple of new products from my friend Adrian Ling worth checking out. )

So - if you have the Google toolbar installed - check your own ratings.

My PR for FCS went from a 4 to a 5, and this blog from 0 to 4.

So after four months of publishing this FCS blog, Google finally decided to give it a Page Rank ... which seems reasonable since it's - at last check - #1 on AOL, MSN, and Google, and #4 at Yahoo and Overture.

See for yourself at any major SE by using the search phrase 'B2B Tips.'

As we know - these rankings change so often that I wonder if they have any meaning at all. I do subscribe to the opinion that they DO have an effect on your traffic, though ...

Personally - I think Google is so enamored (sp?) by its own analysis, that it has paralyzed itself. For a fuller meaning, look at the first four letter of the word analysis.
