Kyle’s Cove to Move to Google PageRank 6?
July 16th, 2007
I’ve been very fortunate over the past year to have earned and maintained a Google PageRank of 5 for this website. The bad news about having a good PageRank with Google is that you get worried every time a PageRank update is forthcoming.
According to Daily Tech News, an update to how Google calculates their PageRank is imminent any day now. As I’ve done in the past, I turned to the Google PageRank Prediction Tool to get an idea of how this site will rank after the change. I was surprised and pleased to see the following:
It is important to note that this is only a prediction tool and not a guarantee, but it is still nice to see that if I’m not a PR6 yet, I’m getting close.
Where does your site rank?
how can i add my website url on facebook for back link? 
Great work man! I only use SEO for firefox and SeoQuake 
No, Gravatar does not have an affiliate program. 
Does Gravator have an affilitate program? 
Great list. All the important ones covered. I've made my own Top 10 list at the following;

I wish I was moving to PR 6. Anything is better than a 1 I suppose, but still…*sigh*. I guess I have something to shoot for for the next update huh?
I’m predicted a 4 (4.4). What do they do? Do they round up to a 5 if they get a are on 4.5 and above. If so I could do some serious link building!
Kyle.. again a nice tool to boost one’s ego or crush it.
Looks like ShanKri-la might make the jump to atleast a PR 4 (they are saying 5
)
1 http://www.shankrila.com 3 5 (4.5) 83% 2,415
Neat little tool, unfortunately according to the tool “to predict your PageRank, you need a minimum of 100 backlinks”.
I have my work cut out for me.
Best,
Howard
Mine’s a new blog, so it’s always been PR 0, hopefully that will change. But, I thought PR wasn’t supposed to be important anymore?
I certainly hope iwebtool is accurate. I migrated my guitar blog from Blogger to a hosted Wordpress environment on April 7th and it reports a PR5 prediction.
Bush – Give it time. One of the PageRank factors in length of time a domain has been active, so keep at it
Rhys – I think the prediction tool does round up. I’m not sure if Google does or not though.
K – Good luck getting to 5!
Ourmonmouth – I wasn’t aware there was a minimum number of backlinks required. I wonder if thats just the tool or if Google actually doesn’t rank you until 100 backlinks.
Tejvan – There is nowhere to go but up!
Robert – Switching to Wordpress from Blogger is HUGE. The SEO benefits, among others, will do a great deal of good towards increasing it.
Thanks Kyle for mentioning my blog. My blog is predicted a PR 4. I could have started my blog bit early, then I would have got a PR5. But I started it only 45-50 days ago. Im happy with PR 4 though. Thanks once again for mentioning my blog.
Iwebtool displays PR6 prediction for my site, but i don’t know i will get it:) Lets see what happens.
Kyle,
Why dont you use a www redirect plugin? http://www.kylescove.com is giving me a existing PR of 5 and kylescove.com is giving me 3.
Nirmal,
I did notice that. I’m not sure what the deal is, because I have the plugin activated and it seems to be working. I’ll have to look into it a little more I guess.
Thanks for the heads up on this!
Kyle,
On my pagerank bar I see page rank of 3 (firefox pr bar) when I am on your site, not 5. How come?
My site is predicted 4.7 i.e. 5. Thats nice. Actually I have been using that page rank checker for a while now. For the past one and half it has consistently given me the same result. Except 2 weeks ago, for one week it gave me 4.3 i.e. 4. Then the week after it went back to 4.7 again. We’ll have to see how accurate it is. Read some where the next update would be around 21st July 2007.
Art – Kylescove.com shows as PR3, but http://www.kylescove.com shows PR5. I am using the 301 redirect plugin (most current version), so I’m looking into why this might be happening. If you check http://www.kylescove.com, it should show PR5.
Kyle,
I have tried typing in http://www.kylescove.com but it reverts back to kylescove.com without the www. I am using version 2.0.0.4 of firefox. Do you know how to change your .access file? My site always gets the browser to go to http://www.seductiontuition.com rather than seductiontuition.com
Just got onto your site http://www.kylescove.com. So could get on now. Strange I was unable to do so yesterday.
Art – I was using the 301 Redirect plugin, but it is redirecting to the non-www version of my site.
I disabled that plugin last night while trying to get this figured out, so that is probably why you can access it now. I’m working with my domain service to get the forwarding fixed and hope to have this done soon.
By .access do you mean .htaccess? That file appears to be in good shape. Thanks for the suggestions, as every bit helps!
Hey Kyle! Good luck! I’m expecting PR5 this time!
