Just yesterday, I was reading Stu’s blog about Google PageRank predictions and checking out a few of my own sites’ PRs using the same Future PageRank tool, thinking “I wonder when the next PR update will be?”
Looking at my Google Toolbar today, I can indeed see PR movement!
Back in February, IMF was assigned a shiny PR4 and now it’s a shiny PR5. Does this equate to more income? No, I’m not selling the PR or anything so all it means is a different badge.

Good to know you have a shiny PR of 5 now !
With experiements I have done with my websites, I found that Google is particularly kind to websites which are around 3-4 months old. If the website has good content it can get a page rank of 3 or 4 without many backlinks. But the real task is moving from 4 to the upper echelon. Also what matters is the website category. My only website which had a drop in PR was the one where I tried some spam techniques. It shows that Google algorithm can not be fooled easily.
Question: How do you define “good content”?
Well, Google covers most of it in their guidelines for webmasters.
As most search engine algorithms are assumed to incorporate tools for checking grammar, synonyms, I’d presume good site content as one having
1. Contextual relevance: Text contains numerous terms related to the site theme and keywords, using stem variations of the keywords.
2. Frequent updating of content - at least once in every few weeks.
3. Minimum Spelling and grammar mistakes
4. Good readability - Clear paragraphs, few or no long blocks of text, moderate sentence length, no slang words.
5. More of text content than images, flash media etc.
6. Text linking to naviagate to all pages within the site.
