Google PageRank Update May Latest 2012
For most savvy bloggers, this is nothing new, as they have spent time in the past worrying about the next PR update. But for new people,bloggers, or for those that don't know, Google PageRank is a rating of your webpages on a scale of 0-10, with 10 being the best rating. Google rates itself at PR 9. It is updated every 3-4 months. The last update was in February 2012, while the one before that came in November 2011. So There's been a three month gap for two or more times in a row. Hence, the next update is expected in the first week of August, although Google never releases a fixed date for this update.
As to what Google PR actually is, it basically is Google's way of ranking pages and giving higher priority to better quality pages. A few years ago, spam blogging was on the rise. Spammers used automated bots to comment on other blogs, with links to their own blogs. This increased their inbound links and hence gave them better priority than quality websites. As a result, Google introduced updates and this ranking system so that quality websites are given higher priority.
