It seems like I’m using Twitter more and more every week. I am following tibipuiu and I read his tweet yesterday about Google updating the PR. In the next few minutes I was checking my blog’s PR. Nothing has changed. However yesterday in the early afternoon I noticed that the Live PageRank Firefox addon was showing me a PR2. The next thing I know, I was on Daniel’s blog (because I knew almost for sure that he’ll mention this event) and I was reading his post about it. I decided to let things settle in their place and check them out today. This blog is online for a couple of months and it jumped from PR 0 to PR 2. google page rankI know that some of you out there state that Google’s PR, Alexa Rank or other stuff like this are not so important. You all have your share of truth in your opinions but you can’t deny the fact that especially this two are deadly important when it comes to SEO and not only.

I was very curios to find out what would happen to the other blog I was talking about in a past post (click on the link to find out more). I wasn’t surprised by the outcome though: PR0. That blog had a PR3 before the previous PR update. After that, apparently because Google thought so, it’s PR was 0 again. Now, after the update that took place yesterday it still has a PR 0. So, it looks like FeedBurner’s Buzzboost doesn’t hurt your blog (as I suspected). In all this time I browsed a lot of blogs and websites and I saw things very similar to Buzzboost and the PR of that particular blog wasn’t affected. I wonder which is the reason why Google didn’t updated (or did it?) the PR for that blog. How long does it take for Google to update the PR ? Is it over in one day ?
