Everyone can breath a sigh of relief as another GOOGLE update is complete as I have not seen any movement over the last couple of weeks, hopefully your page rank has been spared this round. Though as long as your placement within the search engines are the same than really your page rank does not have much meaning.
You probably are asking yourself what really is the importance of PageRank? Honestly it is only important on GOOGLE as PageRank is not a variable used by other search engines though I am sure that they use something similar.
Have the rest of you noticed that MSN seems to index your site more often than GOOGLE, I have noticed that MSN now indexes almost every other day and GOOGLE only a couple times a week where they use to index almost daily. Ranking have not been affected by this and the only problem I see is they have been slow on updating my new content, Maybe it is that they are indexing more pages now and they feel my site still does not have the importance of the big boy's.
The first 3 months of this year have been great since I have had more visitors in 3 months than I had the entire first year online. If we continue to have the growth that we have had in the past 2 years next year will will be seeing over 1 million visitors a month. Achieving this type of growth requires constant optimization of our sites, keeping in constant contact with our ranking and making the needed adjustments to attain top placements within the search engines.
