The time of the year has come again when every webmaster will be sweating over their websites’ page rank. As you know, Google updates page rank of each site every quarterly. The last update was in early Jan, however these few days; I started noticing the page rank on all my websites behaving abnormally.

I have websites spread across a few web hosts and servers and surprising all the page rank start behaving abnormally at the same time. One moment, I have a site page rank down to zero and the next day, the website has its page rank increased.

I don’t recall experiencing such abnormities during the last update and after a quick check in various forums revealed that Google may have change its page rank algorithm and that might be the cause of my websites’ abnormalities.

Luckily, the change in algorithm did not affect my websites ranking that much. In fact most of my sites, old and new have seen an increase in page rank except for one blog which is penalized and has its page rank dropped to “0”. I suspected it may have to do with all those paid postings that I have been doing all these time.

Anyway, according to other webmasters, the updating is still in progress and may last until the end of the month.

So how did your sites fared during this update?
