I got a pleasant surprise today when I noticed that my Google pagerank has been increased by one. I am now a 6 which is nice. I had heard that Google was conducting a review of pageranks and I was hoping that mine would go up. I get a lot of stuff published on other websites most days with outgoing links to this site so I figured a bump in pagerank was not an unlikely prospect.

A lot of people have asked me what a bump in pagerank really means and if it has any real meaning. Well, I guess a higher pagerank means a higher position in the search engine results (i.e. more visibility in search results). This in turn leads to more visitors to your site which means a higher RSS subscription base (potentially) which potentially could lead to higher advertising revenue possibilities. So a bump in pagerank isn’t something to be written off lightly.    The more Google loves you, the more possibilities that open up to you.
