Yesterday’s Google PageRank update was the main SEO-related happening, of course, but there was another: they also updated backlinks.

Backlinks are what you get when you go to Google and search for “link:address” (e.g. “link:www.thetlog.net“). It was a bit annoying that MSN Search and Yahoo Search showed many backlinks to my (less than 3-months old) blogs, but Google didn’t. Until yesterday.

That update also made Silktide SiteScores go up a bit, which is always nice.

Again, my gaming blog seems to be too new to be affected: it still has a PR of 0, and 0 backlinks. :( Oh well, that’ll change 3 months from now…

    It has indeed been a nice update. I went from a PR 0 blog to a PR 4 blog, which is nice. Just 1 backlink is listed on google though, but well yeh, I have no trouble with that.
