Google PageRank Update August 2007

This interesting post by Garett Rogers at ZDNet talks about the possibility of the a link between the forthcoming Google PageRank update (slated for late July but is imminent now in August 2007) and the outage that many Google Analytics users reported late last week.

He refers to a comment at seoroundtable.com that triggered this thought

When I was reading some of the commentary on this latest problem, I came accross this comment on seroundtable.com:

I would almost swear this happened last time right before they had the last PR update. I think they use that data in the algorithm if a webmaster has it. Either that or they defer the resources used to power it.

What does this mean to us lesser mortals waiting for the latest PageRank update?

Well, it seems like the update is almost upon us and will be very visible across Google's various datacenters in form of fluctuating PageRank of people's websites before the next week is up!

Three cheers to the Google PR update as it enables many of us to rate our own efforts at making our website really count amongst the deluge of millions others in our category!
