Otfans Received PR 4!

After a long time of waiting my other website, Otfans.net , has received PR 4 from Google's algorithms. According to the UrlTrends log it's been like that for a month already, but my PageRank toolbar didn't say so.

For those who think; PageRank? What's that? To quote Wikipedia :

PageRank is a link analysis algorithm which assigns a numerical weighting to each element of a hyperlinked set of documents, such as the World Wide Web, with the purpose of “measuring” its relative importance within the set. The algorithm may be applied to any collection of entities with reciprocal quotations and references. The numerical weight that it assigns to any given element E is also called the PageRank of E and denoted by PR(E).

PageRank was developed at Stanford University by Larry Page (hence the name Page-Rank[1]) and Sergey Brin as part of a research project about a new kind of search engine. The project started in 1995 and led to a functional prototype, named Google, in 1998. Shortly after, Page and Brin founded Google Inc., the company behind the Google search engine. While just one of many factors which determine the ranking of Google search results, PageRank continues to provide the basis for all of Google's web search tools.[2]

Sadly this website, Leftblank.nl , is still PageRank 0, even though it was founded in July this year! Wikipedia states though that 'the Toolbar PageRank is republished about once every three months', so it might take a little longer until I'm gifted with a higher rank here as well, perhaps 2008?

    As you know by now already PageRank meter (visible one on the toolbar etc) is updated less frequent as actual PageRank itself

    The google toolbar is a separate database to the search engine one. So they are updated at different times, the toolbar always sems to be months out of date. It is a guide, not the actual number. (well, that’s what I have found)
