    I haven't seen anyone mention anything that matters... like actual rankings for keywords.

    Oh wait that's right, PR updates don't actually affect that so the point of this thread is.......?

    This update hasn't yet finished right?
    I hope so because google says i have only about 20 backlinks for most of my sites which is impossible. :confused:

    Yeah selling text links to suckers who still think PR affects your rankings can be quite lucrative. Good luck with that...

    Personally the entire time my site was a PR 6 my rankings sucked. A few days ago I suddenly jumped to the front page of Google for my main keyword and now my site dropped to a PR5 and I'm still climbing for that keyword.

    Next update I'm goin for a PR0!!

    I can't believe it there is a major increase in my site's rankings on keyword skiing.
    From 47 to 33.
    woohooo!
    I hope this will continue!

    Really? How so?

    I'd like to see you explain how because unless you work for Google as an engineer you don't actually know anything that anyone else on this forum does. No?

    Disagreeing with what I say is one thing but saying I'm "lost" as if you actually know for a fact that I'm wrong is pretty ignorant.

    think about what you just said, and in doing so, how can *YOU* be so certain in your initial post? are *YOU* a google engineer?

    Exactly.... now think about what you just quoted...

    I didn't say I'm absolutely right end of story. I said he is not qualified to say I'm not.

    Anything else?? Drink some coffee, think about it for a sec, then get back to me. I'll wait...

    I'll prove it. First, do you believe that a higher PR link to your site will have more of an impact than a lower PR one?

    First, I'll answer that question with a question. With the way Google changes it's algos and often it seems screws them up, can you guarantee that will be the case a month from now?

    But for the sport of it and because you're the only one that stepped up, I'll play. :D

    My answer is maybe... maybe not. Frankly I don't know and neither do you. :)

    Before you try and digg up some "test" or "experiment" you've done or some example of how a PR5 link saved your life, pleas elet me inform you that I can provide at least 3 cases to counter that. ;)

    I wasn't going to offer you some old stale test, I was going to give you the means to prove it for yourself. What would you accept as proof?

    Honestly... if my site that just went from a PR6 to a PR5 but gained rankings in the serps for all my main keywords suddenly dropped in rankings to coincide with the drop in PR, I might start to believe you.

    Other than that, surprise me :)

    You say this :

    And then You have this in your sig:

    Why do you mention PR5 ?

    I thought that "selling text links to suckers who still think PR affects your rankings can be quite lucrative".
