Waiting For My Blog's New PR Update.

Yes folks , its finally here. Google PageRank has been updated just yesterday (December 6 2013).
I read few days ago that Matt Cutts said there will be no PR update of any kind till 2014 Jan and now we see it. Some sites have taken a major beating, most of them Tumblr blogs, while others have seen a substantial increase in PR all of a sudden.

Google-PR-update-December-2013

PR for my blog has still not been calculated by Google yet. So it shows N/A as of now.
I hope it gets a nice number. It was PR 3 until yesterday.

Yes, It's a major update. Lot of changes.

A friend of mine said his finance blog's PR changed from PR 5 to PR 1. He posts only original content, no ads and updates regularly. Whereas his adult site increased from PR 0 to PR 4 which has loads of ads. He said he doesn't notice any changes in traffic though for both the sites.

Taking his example, I'd like to point out that PR is good only for setting the link price...

Seller - "Hey, I have PR5 site, wanna buy link" (no traffic)
Buyer - "Sure, what is the price"

Seller - "Hey I have a great site with loads of traffic, do you wanna buy link?"
Buyer - "What is PR?"
Seller - "No PR"
Buyer - "Sorry, not interested"

Internal changes in Google go very frequently. It is not possible to tell what changes were exactly implemented because no one has access to their algorithms and what we can see are only the results.

What about your site? Increase or decrease in PR? Share your story in the comment box below.

    Strange are the ways of Google and Matt Cutts.

    Waiting with crossed fingers. Just purchased some high PR links a few months ago.

      My advice - Don't purchase links. They will make your site look spammy to the bots and search engines may penalize your site for that. Build links naturally. Purchased links are crap anyways.

My White Hat SEO Strategy for 2015

Image
With over 45 days left for welcoming the new year, I've already started planning my White Hat SEO Strategy for 2015 to stay ahead of my competition. Running a blog which doesn't have traffic and a loyal base of readers defeats it's very purpose of existence. In the coming year, I plan to push my blog further up the search results page for certain niche keywords and focus on higher conversions rather than large amounts of traffic which don't convert. Of course large amounts of  free traffic via White Hat SEO  is always good for your blog; there's no denying that. So, here are the main areas I'm going to focus on for the year 2015 1. Target Long Tail Keywords Long tail keywords often have less competition in the SEO race. Many bloggers and webmasters are becoming aware of it, but it's not too late for you to start targeting them instead of common short keywords which have high competition. As usual, I'll be using Google AdWords' Keyword
