MSN/Page Rank

Well, I guess we'll start with the good news: Pin Bottle now ranks #1 on MSN for "Boston Website Design." Previously 8-10, this is huge jump after MSN last indexed the site. MSN seems to count ALL backlinks when Google seems to be mysteriously selective. It's really baffling, since the 1 and only backlink Google shows for Pin Bottle is a site with no Page Rank. Regardless, topping MSN may seem easy to some, to a Website Designer who only recently got into the SEO game, it's a nice accomplishment.

Speaking of Page Rank, Pin Bottle is no longer showing a PR of 2. I've read that during an update, it can fluctuate violently, so I guess I'll just have to be patient for a while until the update has completely finished.

Next up, reciprocal backlinks. I know, I know, it's not supposed to be good, but the proof is in the pudding: Most of the sites ranked higher than Pin Bottle have reciprocals, so a few good ones can't hurt.
