This may be a few weeks old by now, but Google recently updated PageRank.  Sorry for the delay, I am Bizee.  But our network has maintained PageRank and some of our Directory sites have increased just a bit.  I was pleasantly surprised.

 We have learned with this last update, that some Directory sites may still be banned or may be slow to get it back to previous PR despite the huge amount of inbound links and efforts of the site owners.  Be patient and wait for the next update, you may be surprised.  Patience….

 Directory sites focusing on niche sites or limited arena will always do better than the general sites as will the sites with unique content in form of articles, blogs.  So hang in there, let your new sites age for a bit, keep it fresh.

I just noticed that Google has just done a PR update.  What this means is:PageRank.  Page Rank is a measure of the amount of quality links pointing to you.  I am pleased to see that www.twahms.com is now back at 4!!  This is a result of a lot of effort to try and get links from quality sites.   Some are free, some are reciprocal linking and many are for a small fee.  I have been paying the $10 dollar fee to be in certain related directories and such.

I recommend you do the same.  Seek out link partners that also have the same or higher PR than yours.  Seek out link partners that are related to your sites content.  To see your sites PageRank and learn more about it, go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PageRank.  From there, you can also download the toolbar so you can see the PageRank of your sites and other sites as well.  The good news is that if you notice your site has dropped in PR, you don’t necessarily lose your traffic.  If you were on page 1 or 2  for your keywords, you will most likely stay there.   

PS.  I am always looking for great sites to post to, please leave a comment and let everybody know about your site and if you would like to exchange links.
