Welcome to Something for Nothing

I must admit that I normally haven’t been really watching and waiting for the various Google Page Rank updates. Sure, I love when it goes up, but I haven’t really cared when the update happens. Well, ever since one of my blogs dropped from PR 5 to PR 4, I’ve missed having my blog a PR 5 and so I’ve been anticipating the next page rank update.

Now, I should admit that I haven’t really taken any serious measures to increase my page rank. I’ve just continued promoting my blog and blogging about topics of interest to me and I hope that it will pay off with success when the page rank update happens.

Well, tonight I finally decided to start a little search to see what kind of rumors were out there about the next Google page rank update (and yes I know it’s just really an export and that page rank is constantly updated). PR is an interesting and important measure for many people interested in advertising on your site.

Well, I found this list that showed the history of all the2007 google page rank updates (and other updates). Looks like it could happen any time. Let’s hope it happens soon and more importantly, that the changes are good for my various blogs.
