It seems the Google datacentres have all finally updated their records to reflect the latest published pagerank scores. As mentioned previously, this means the price of a standard advertising tag in the Promoting London wordcloud has been raised to the intermediate level of £42 for a guaranteed minimum three years of exposure. Still remarkable value.

advertising datacentres exposure Google london pagerank publishedFrom the look of things it would appear that Google are in the midst of a pagerank update, a time when all knowledgeable webmasters cross their fingers and hope that their sites get a boost from the changes [and definitely do not suffer a relegation to a lower value]. There are webtools out there which allow you to view the pagerank of any website at the various Google Datacentres - normally the values would be the same across them all but at present there is a definite difference showing which datacentres have updated and which have not. How does this affect Promoting London? Well, as the word cloud page makes clear, once it reaches a certain pagerank then the cost of hyperlinks from it will increase. This will happen when all the datacentres have been updated which could be tomorrow or could still be a couple of weeks away [there never seems to be a set time span over which these updates take place]. All that I am saying is that there may be a price increase and it may be very, very soon.
datacentres Google hyperlinks knowledgeable london pagerank promoting update webmasters webtools word cloudIt would seem the summer lull in business oriented search on Google has ended. The adwords campaign I am running for the PromotingLondon.com word cloud has shown a noticeable increase in click throughs and the necessary bid amount to get a decent placing on Google search results with many of the selected key phrases has risen considerably. Take up of the word tags continues to be steady with the expectation of a rapid increase as I bring into play more strands of the marketing campaign.
I am considering raising the price of the keyword tags as the PageRank of the cloud page increases. This would offer best value to early adopters of the scheme, a thank you to those who have helped make it a sucessful launch.
