Google Grants Jason Boom a Pagerank 4

Written by User ImageJason Boom on May 21, 2008 – 9:35 pm

Pagerank 4Google has smiled upon me! I just checked my site’s Pagerank and much to my surprise the site now has a Pagerank of 4. This must be how those WoW junkies feel when they finally level up their level 59 character.

I sat on the fat zero for about three months. Of course, I’ve been preoccupied these past weeks, so maybe this Pagerank update went into effect while I was hibernating. I don’t know for sure. I think it’s a recent development. Either way, it’s good news for the Jason Boom dot com site.

From what I understand of Pagerank, it helps have your pages rank higher in search engines. It represents the number of quality links back to your site’s content. As the name implies, each page on my site has a different rank. Some of the pages don’t register, while others hold a 3 or 2. I’m curious if anyone has written a definitive guide of Pagerank. I would love to read it.

Building Content and Links

Many bloggers will tell you that content reigns supreme. It’s true. Relevant content has a long shelf life. I just recently experienced a stumble rush from the 100 Why Not Activities for Bloggers. It was featured on Lorelle’s site and touched off a mini-camp of link passing and traffic blitzes. I can’t argue with that. I can only imagine what will happen with the blog as the years go by. Some stories may come alive again, while others may die cold and alone in the archives.

The content I’ve created so far has received a good amount of links. I would say the results have caused me to have the Pagerank of 4, rather than a 3 or a 2.

It probably didn’t hurt that I kiss my computer before I write each post, blow on my keyboard, and bury two fingers in my temples when I’m fishing for explosive content. We all have our routines, right?

    PR4 is great! Congrats :) Google was nice to me too, bumping me up to PR3. I’ve had a PR4 site before, that’s my current high score :P

    It was weird because my main page PR was actually LOWER than some of my other pages before… which I’ve never heard of, especially since they all linked to my main page lol

    Next stop PR5! Welcome back by the way :P

    It’s cool isn’t it!?! I was surprised other pages on my site ranked lower. I was hoping it would be a four across the board. I guess so many people linked directly to my domain, and not to my individual pages.

    That’s weird about your main page being lower. I guess it would be due to the inbound links. It just shows you have good content. ;)

    It’s good to be back…

    A rather late comment, but http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2007/06/05/google-pagerank-what-do-we-really-know-about-it/ seems to be a nice article on Google Pagerank.
