I don’t know much about twitter and users page-rank since I don’t use it. But what I do know is, if you don’t want leading up the garden path by someone who only thinks they know SEO, you could not do better then grabbing StomperNet for a $1 I will defiantly back Andy up on this go get it now.

Andy-
As always, thanks for diving in and exposing the details, and putting us back on track. Good point about PR changes around the time Google engineers are at conferences, hadn't caught that one.
I've seen a lot of profiles recently get pagerank. It's an interested point that if you were able to get on twitter in the early days you had a better chance of getting higher page rank for your profile. A lot of links on twitter are set to no-follow now too so it's gotten a bit tougher.

Twitter aside, I find this update very puzzling. I'm ranking very high for terms that I have no business ranking for. I mean, I'm not complaining, but I have the feeling Google's going to dial back what they did with this update.

I noticed that some Twitter profiles that had a PR (some up to PR 4) went to zero after this latest PageRank update. Considering that they didn't do anything differently from when they gained the original PR to when they lost it, it is quite confusing as to how that all works. But does a Twitter PR really count for much, aside from coming up in the search results? It seems like people on Twitter will count the authority in the number of followers rather than the PR.

Google TBPR updates often get messed up for various reasons and they repeat updates a week or so later - that doesn't mean they have made a fundamental change in the way they calculate PageRank or that Twitter has a penalty of some kind.
Thanks for sharing. This is quite an interesting development in the whole page rank evolution. Great job!

I'm new to the whole SEO, so I was considering that training. Page looks very flashy so I was wondering if it really works.
Thank You Adnan

It is more effective than blog commenting with anchor text all over the blogosphere which can be extremely harmful for reputation management if it isn't done carefully.

Cool stuff here, thanks. I have bunches of blogs and always check out my blog page ranks or lack thereof, but it didnt' even occur to check my twitter page rank. So I just did and it's a "3" which cracks me up because I don't get this whole race to follow a kabillion people and use all kinds of weird stuff to do it... What's the benefit to the twitter page rank anyway? I assume I'm getting my pagerank because I have twitterfeed pull my new posts in, so if I'm getting my pagerank from my own blogs, and then my PR 3 twitter links back, isn't that kind of nepotism? I mean isn't PR supposed to come from somebody else's blog/site whatever??? Ok, rant over and out!

I can see the benefit of Google taking the initiative to change their computations for the pageranking process, as to avoid excessive manipulation, but it's not totally fair for them to have a monopoly on it. There are two sides to (most) every blade - the power to index all the information is a mighty responsibility, but it's also a mighty opportunity!

Thanks for the info. I'm still pretty much a noob at SEO and things like this are extremely helpful. I'm also pretty new to the whole twittering thing. I haven't done much with it, but I have started to use it a little more.

Very good stuff. The thing about engineers at conferences and pagerank would be funny if I didn't think it was also true.
