        Hi Premio,

        Typically, your pagerank won't change as a result of on-page SEO.  Increases in pagerank are  typically due to back links and other offsite factors and changes in PR due to those factors may take many months to impact your tool bar pagerank.  But don't focus or Pagerank--focus on creating content and on reaching out to your audience with content that is shareable and helps them make their buying decisions.

          Hello there,

          Thanks for your answer. But I think I explained myself badly 🙂 sorry about that, my English needs more improvement as my SEO skills.

          Anyway, what I was talking about position on SERP not page rank. I am changing the title tags making them more relevant for people and also to better describe the content on the pages and that should improve the position on Google SERP but I don't think it changes overnight, does it?

          Cheers
          Oscar

            In that case, it certainly can change over night but usually, with a new page or a page with that doesn't get much traffic it can take a month or more.  It is often the case that the home page will be re-indexed more often than other, less trafficked pages on your site, so don't expect that when you see one page updated in the results that the other ones are right behind it.

              Wait till Google crawls your page again. You will know when this is by checking the date on the cached version of the page, which you can find by doing a search for the URL of the page you are interested in, then clicking on the little green down arrow next to the URL in the search result.

                Thank you very much guys, and I will keep an eye on the cached page and see when google crawls it again.

                Cheers

                  I also am interested in this.

                  We have recently 'improved' the on page optimisation for the following keyword ''edited'' on the following page:

                  ''edited''

                  I just checked when the page was last crawled by google by checking the cache date which is the 27th of May 201?.

                  We have been tracking the keyword ''edited'' with the moz keyword ranking tool for the last little while and we've seen no real improvement, in fact we've dropped back a bit in the SERPs to ''edited''.

                  does anyone have any advice?
