Google Page Rank Update, December 2013

I just notice that on 6th December 2013, Google had update Google Pagerank after a very long delay. The last Pagerank update was in February 2013.

On my web network, most of my websites going up in page rank. This is indeed a good news after 10 months of waiting.

For those who are new to page rank, it is a metric between 0-10. 10 is the best while 0 is the lowest. The rank depends on many factors, mostly on-site SEO and backlinks to your website.
