Today and yesterday you may have noticed all new Google Pagerank listings for your web-sites. Many sites are reporting changes up or down one point, and a few are reporting larger shifts in their page rank.

IdeaPro.com has improved from 3/10 to 4/10.

The last Google Pagerank Update happened on or around July 26th. So, we’ve had just over two months since their last shift in page ranks across all 100 or so of the Google data centers around the world. Understand that these new ranks will perculate around the world from system to system. It may take a few days for your own local version of Google to show the new ranks.

This new ranking, will effect the relative positions of your site(s) for keyword searchs that you are concerned about, and will therefore significantly increase or decrease the traffic you get from Google, which is usually the majority of traffic for most well designed and search engine optimized web-sites. Google traffic can range from anything around 50% to a maximum of about 95% for some sites.

To check your own ranking, download and install the Google Toolbar, directly from Google.com. It is free and does not slow down your page loading. There are versions for both Windows and Mac OS, and for all major browsers, including MS Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Safari, and so on.

If you keep track of your own and competing site’s popularity by looking at the Google Pagerank in the Google Toolbar (the little green bar), then you may notice that many sites’ pageranks are being changed. Googler Matt Cutts has stated that this update should be completely done in a “few days.” He also mentioned that some sites which had been penalized previously were being re-instated with this update. What that means exactly is not clear. You should watch your own sites and the ranking of other sites you use regularly to see if their visual pagerank has changed. The results will be interesting.

Note that we are adjusting the rankings of the INDEX sites we list below, as we note changes. Check back in a few days for the complete list. We can already see a trend that many Pagerank 6 sites have de-ranked by one ranking, to a PR-5 and sometimes even a PR-4. Many of the lower ranked sites do not seem to have changed yet. However, this may be an early trend, as Google works its way down its internal list of sites to change ranks on. Until the results stabilize at the final level, expect to see some sites’ rankings decrease, increase and even go both up and down again. That’s why it’s called the “Google Dance.” Watch the changes at real time here!
