Pagerank Update

It's about that time again when all webmasters can't stop checking their favorite data center tool. Yes I am talking to you, your palms are sweaty with antisapation of your shinny new green Pagerank bar. Dreams of huge PR to compensate for you tiny errr, adsense check?

All jokes aside the Pagerank update should be fairly close. I will admit that I do check about once a day to see if my little green bar has slid up yet. It's a feeling of acheivement when you see your Pagerank rise. It's shows others that you are serious about your website and that you have been working hard to promote it.

Although it's great to see that bar rise it's shouldn't be the focus of your website. At least for me it's not. I will trade Pagerank for search engine position and traffic any day of the year.
