    Hi there,

    I run a marketing and SEO company, and I get this kind of question a lot. Google does not update their rankings very consistently, and it’s been a while since their last update. I frequent a lot of very popular blogs who still have a pagerank of zero, even though they have hundreds of RSS subscribers and thousands of daily pageviews.

    I would wait until Google’s next update. If there has still been no change, then I would try and get some feedback on your site. You can do this by submitting it to forums (which can be informative, if a little harsh) or by hiring somebody to do a website audit. In an audit, you pay a small one-time fee to a marketing or SEO consultant, who will tell you what you can do to optimize your rankings.

    In the meantime, I would ramp up your marketing efforts so that you can gain new visitors through methods other than type-in traffic from search engine users.

    Hope this helps, and good luck. I know this is one of the hardest times to be patient.

    Naomi D Gave some great advice there.. Google updates every 3 months and for me I never worry about Page rank at all. I find it irrelevant to what position you land in & how much traffic you get.

    I have had several website rank higher than websites with higher page rank. So as naomi suggested work on the things you can now to gain traffic. If you are interested in my free traffic training course visit

    From there you can visit my website at anytime, which is currently going through a major update, but the free tips and advice come to your through email…

    Traffic is the key to any websites success or failure. So build the traffic now, gain the page rank over time.

    To your marketing Success,
