Toolbar PageRank "Not Important"
Earlier this year, a Google employee reported on their webmaster forum advised:
"Don't worry about PageRank".
It seems that glitches can occur during Google Toolbar PageRank updates, which are made 3-4 times per year.
However, whatever the outcome of the latest update for your website, "this is generally not something that will affect your site's crawling, indexing or ranking".
It is widely believed that the publicly available Toolbar PageRank data is not necessarily the same as the Actual PageRank that Google uses as part of its algorithm.
The best thing to do for long term SEO benefits, is to follow the basic principles:
- Develop quality, unique content that will prove useful for your visitors.
- Source incoming links from high quality, relevant websites.
Regardless of PageRank, these two actions should lead to steady and sustainable progress.
