Google PageRank New Year Gift

I am confirmed that Google PageRank was just updated on New Year's Eve. For many webmasters, it might be the best New Year gift. My site's PR went up from 2 to 3. Although Pagerank is not that important for a good ranking as before, most people still view this as a proof of site quality and webmasters treat it as a hard-working certificate.

However, a little improve on PR may not help too much for many sites during this holiday season. Many small ecommerce sites may have seen a small jump following a huge drop on traffic. Only winners are Amazon and Wal-mart. If you see your site traffic climbing back quickly, congratulations! Your site must be well ranked on popular keywords and economic-proof.
