Ask HN: Notice a jump in Page Rank today?

21 pointsnewmediaclay27 comments

Looks like Google updated their Page Rank today for the first time since September 08. I know our site jumped to a 6. Anyone else notice a bump?

Where is the definitive place to assess ones pagerank?

Looks like Mibbit is a 7 :)

http://www.overcomingbias.com 7... we get a lot of random incoming Google traffic.

Though it's worth noting that our traffic stats fell off a cliff over winter break, for some odd reason. Anyone else seen this? Or is it just that OB is commonly read as a procrastinating substitute for school/work?

Holiday cliff: http://www.sitemeter.com/?a=stats&s=s28overcomingbias...

Mibbit fell off a cliff also. Just starting to recover...

We witnessed this as well and a similar, but much shorter trend over Thanksgiving. I would guess it's due to people dealing with holiday stuff and not being at work. My parents still don't believe me that most people don't do anything at work for significant chunks of the day (or in some cases all day).

Traffic is usually best for TicketStumbler Tuesday - Thursday and worst on Saturday & Sunday.

Woohoo http://ticketstumbler.com is now a 5!

Congrats! Same with the frog. Posterous and CO2Stats are up to 6 now, wtg guys.

Can someone see if the Friendly Atheist (that phrase just written out as two words) now returns Hemant Mehta's blog site as the first result? For a while he was way back on the second page of results, even though he should plainly be in first place. (I used the wiki tools to modify results for that search on Google, so I can't tell if there has been an improvement.)

I see a mixture of better and worse results with my usual torture-test searches. It still looks like brief entries on blogs get page rank that is too high compared to more substantive articles, presumably because they get lots of inbound links.

Nope. It returns wordpress.com/tag/friendly-atheist/.

Note that if you delete your searchWiki changes, it will revert to the original order.

Or, you know, log out.

Matt Cutts officially confirmed a pagerank increase yesterday on twitter - http://twitter.com/mattcutts/status/1087531183

Still the same. Though PR doesn't really seem to matter that much anymore. My site with PR 0 gets much more traffic from Google than my site with PR 4.

Yup, 4 :) (for duckduckgo.com & gabrielweinberg.com)

http://www.dawdle.com dropped from a 6 to a 5. Not happy, since all our inbound links are from October 2008-onwards. They're not that old.

Yea, we jumped to a 6 and blogged about A New Year a New Page Rank. http://www.newmediacampaigns.com/page/page-rank-updated-in-d...

I think submitting to Yahoo and getting some press for our microsite were the biggest factors. We also put footers on the bottom of our sites linking back to us which can't hurt

Does anyone here use grader.website.com on Hubspot? It perplexes me that my site receives a much higher grade then my competitors, yet their page rank is higher (we have more inbound links then they do).

Is Hubspot's grader reliable?

went from a 7 to a 4. wtf? i blame my bbPress forums, which I didn't realize for a while didnt no follow links until i hacked the theme a bit to no follow.

will a google search query increase page rank?

for example if i search "ycombinator startup" then google (PR10) will produce links (no rel=nofollow in <a href>)

i think that will increase search volume index in google trend, but not sure about page rank

No changes for my wesite :(...I guess I need more link development and more updates to the site.

Have new content daily/weekly has been huge for us especially as organic traffic is concerned.

From 3 to a 4 although another site I maintain stayed a 3 so it wasn't a universal jump.

I think it actually happened a few days ago. I noticed a jump last week.

No change for me on my sites - hopefully its a rolling change

Nope, still at zero for me... really need to work on that ;)

Does anything apart from google.com have a page rank of 10?

usa.gov is the only one I know. Adobe and Apple used to have PR 10s but they are now 9

yep, my yet unmarketed shellshadow.com is from 2 to 3 now. 2009, the year of inflation ;)

Went from 4 to 5.
