The April Google PageRank Update and Why I Don’t Care (But You Do)

Over the course of yesterday and today Google updated it’s Toolbar PageRanks for websites. I would like to say that’s awesome, because BarryWise.com is now a PageRank 5, but the truth is I really don’t care. When I first started working on this blog in May of last year the PageRank was 0. That was a little less than a year ago; I said I would raise the PageRank and I did. But the truth is the traffic and exposure which this blog has gotten over the course of the past year has not correlated with the PageRank increases.
