When I was checking some of my new websites today, I was pleasantly surprised to see a green bar for them. I then confirmed that Google is pushing out a New Years PageRank Update. Google had its last toolbar PR update in October 2009.
Looks like Google is generous this time with this New Year gift. I did not see any drop in the PageRank or penalties for any of my websites. Most of my established websites stayed the same, but new sites gained PR from 0 to 2 or 3. In fact, I was also happy to see one of my sites coming out of the penalty. Anyway, the toolbar PageRank is not so important unless you want to flip your website or wish to generate more revenue through blog reviews or ads.
What about you? Did you notice any changes in PR for your sites? Congrats to those who see theiir toolbar PageRank go up, and wish you have even better PR in 2010!

Christmas is around the corner! Have you started buying gifts for your loved ones? or, are you too busy promoting your e-commerce websites for Christmas?
Last week I received my first gift for this holiday season from my customer in Japan. When I opened the box which came from Amazon.com, I was surprised to see an International version of the Kindle 2. It took some time for me to get familiar with the device, and I was very grateful to my customer for sending me this awesome gift which I can use in over 100 countries.
So, What is kindle?
Well, Kindle is a electronic book reader from Amazon that can revolutionize the way you read your favorite books, newspapers, articles, or online blogs.
It looks awesome! It is just about 0.3 inches thick - just as thin as most magazines, and weighs about 290 gms - lighter than a paperback. It has a paper-like display, so you can read just like you read real paper without any glare, even under a bright sun.

When I was checking some of my new sites in the morning, I noticed that their PR went up from 1 to 3. There is no change in the PageRank for this blog, but many internal pages have gained PR. So, it is sure that It Google is rolling out a long awaited PageRank update in this last week of October. The last PageRank update was on June 23 this year. The Google dance has just begun and by tomorrow we can get a better idea about the effects of this October 2009 PR update.
This PR update was a surprising move from Google. As Google removed PageRank data from the Webmaster Tools, I was wondering whether Google would ever update the toolbar PageRank. But I am happy to see that Google has updated the toolbar PageRank today. Although PageRank does not affect your position in SERPs, it surely shows your site social status and power. It also acts as a confirmation to the SEO that his link-building efforts are recognized by Google. This is particularly very important if you want to show the Search Engine Optimization results to your clients or if you want to flip a domain or website to get a higher price.

If you have recently logged into Google Webmaster Tools, you must have noticed that Google has silently got rid of PageRank from Webmaster Tools. This change in the webmaster tools section has made the whole search industry wonder about Google’s extreme action. You can also see a thread on Google about removal of Pagerank from WMT. Google Webmaster Trends Analyst - Susan Moskwa explains there
“We’ve been telling people for a long time that they shouldn’t focus on PageRank so much; many site owners seem to think it’s the most important metric for them to track, which is simply not true. We removed it because we felt it was silly to tell people not to think about it, but then to show them the data, implying that they should look at it.”

Outsourcing SEO work to a SEO company in countries like India is also a cost effective option to get your SEO job done. However, there are so many self-proclaimed SEO experts that offer tall claims but end up doing your site more harm than good, so you need to take care in selecting the right SEO firm.
Here are few tips for hiring an SEO expert

There are millions of websites out there in the cyberspace. However, only a few get really popular. Search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing rank sites higher in the SERPs (search engine result pages), if the site has fresh and unique content, apart from other factors such as link popularity. Good content is thus very important for search engine rankings and web traffic. That’s why it is often said that the ‘Content is king.
If you have a e-commerce or online business website, you would need regular new content matching the theme of your website. Only if your site has fresh and unique content, the search engine spiders would keep coming back to your site – indexing it on a regular basis, and increasing the site authority – which would ultimately help you in better rankings and increased organic traffic.
One of the best ways to promote your blog or website without spending much time is article marketing. This effective SEO technique can help your website to get many backlinks to your site with the desired ‘anchor text’; these backlinks are essential for getting top search engine rankings. However, you would need to create meaningful articles to get attention of other people towards your website.

Microsoft launched its new search engine Bing in June, positioning it as a “decision engine” which delivers more than just page results. They also parnered with Yahoo recently gaining license to Yahoo’s search technology. This will allow Microsoft to extend its new search engine Bing to all of Yahoo’s Web properties. Microsoft has already started to steal some search engine market share from Google. Facebook is also giving competition to Google by releasing a new realtime search engine.
Google is, however. not taking these developments lightly. For last several months, Google has been secretly working on a new project - codenamed Caffeine - the next generation of Google Search engine. This is not going to be a minor upgrade, but an entire new architecture for Google search engine. In short, it will be a completely new version of Google.
