Google PageRank 0 to 5 in 2 Months

I found some websites and weblogs get Google PageRank (PR) update from PR 0 to 5 in only 2-3 months. It really happen when page rank updated in a few weeks ago. Then, I did some searching to find similar cases. Yes it could actually happen. All of those sites are relatively new, including moved domain.

Maybe Google’s page ranking mean nothing to you and me. For money blogging, it could affect their financial. PR update doesn’t affect our search engine result ranking, I guess..or not that much.

What is PageRank™? See Google Technology and
PageRank™ (Wikipedia) for more detail.

PageRank relies on the uniquely democratic nature of the web by using its vast link structure as an indicator of an individual page’s value.

Every 3 months (recorded 83 until 100+ days), Google updates the PR.

Here are my notes.

What did they do to get PR 5 in 2 months?

• maybe nothing, just regular posting,
• Google PR update might be false (it takes a few days to be valid across all their data centers) :),
• just lucky..

Exactly, what is the point?

• Content is always the king forever (in this case)..backlink is the queen.
  Relevant topics within the post / blog (niche topic) is better.
• Four (4) posts a month are enough.
• No paid links.

Another characteristics of those sites:

• some sites have built internal backlinks to their relevant posts,
• some sites (in my opinion) have too much external links on their homepage’s blogroll
• the rest of the sites almost do nothing…

As author of this blog, Dani Iswara .Net, these are my comments:

• Fully original content? Not so..actually some of my blog content is a repost from my old blog (try my Google custom search). The old blog is still alive.
• I didn’t do a massive (spam like) comments or signatures on other websites, weblogs, or forums.
• I got several problems with XHTML validation. It made me to change the template too often (read failed on validome xhtml validation).
• At least 2 times a day for 2 days, my server went down due to server migration.
• I have a huge of links collection on some pages. And they don’t have to link back to me. I didn’t even asked them to do that. But I’ll appreciate it if they do..
• So..no exchange / selling links schemes.

I guess, there are no search engine optimisation secrets. If any, it could be an experience based on their trials and researches. When PR changes their algorithm, tricky things would be in risk.

I fully agree that

link-based analysis has greatly improved the quality of web search.

It can help visitors. But, please..it should have something on your post / blog.

So, keep it naturally..
Keep focus to produce quality content on your niche..
More pages should mean more quality content..
