SEOs Eager For PageRank Update, Did Google Give Them One?

pagerankIn the past month or so, I have been seeing a tremendous number of requests and complaints from "SEOs" that there has not been a Google PageRank update.

Google keeps telling them not to worry about PageRank but SEOs don't hear or listen. They think SEO is all about PageRank, when you and I know it has very little to do with PageRank. Especially Toolbar PageRank which is a fictional character used by Google's marketing department.

Well, a DigitalPoint Forums thread and an old WebmasterWorld thread have SEOs saying they see a PageRank update in the Google Toolbar. I personally did not check, so I am not sure, nor do I really care, but I am here to report these discussions.

The last possible PageRank update was likely in October 2010 but there were some people reporting updates in late December. Although, the December rumors really didn't pan out.

Forum discussion at DigitalPoint Forums & WebmasterWorld.
