    I've had sites jump to PR4 which I hadn't even though I'd done any linkbuilding for. Upon checking, ONE forum link from somewhere gave it that.

    I've had sites jump to PR3 with hundreds of links.

    There's something very strange with their algo. Quality/relevance is extremely powerful, perhaps?

    This update was not a full update, but those PR prediction tools aren't accurate at all. The number of backlinks doesn't mean much for PR - it depends on the PR of the page linking to you - and how many outgoing links on on those pages because PR is divided between all outgoing links. PR means nothing unless you are selling links. Focus on quality backlinks that are relevant to your site if you want to improve your SERPS. A high PR from sites that aren't in your sector won't help you rank any better with google.

    Don't believe on PR prediction tool if I were you.
    Nobody knows if the PR is still updating.We just have to wait if there is a changes in our site.

    Each time there is an update there are always people who think that Google has problems, surely the more likely scenario is they have changed the algo and that's why peoples sites have been affected negatively

    Overall all my sites are up..


    My mobile portal is up to PR4 from PR0, even the mobile forum is PR3 now..

    although my modeling contest is down to PR3 from PR4...

    something seems to have changed in their algo indeed

    google is unpredictable indeed.

    Who knows, your site maybe on the top 1 in SERP on your major keywords in the next couple of days:D:D

    I know PR doesnt really matter, but i was expecting some update :confused: :(

    My PR has stayed at 2 -- even though, my sites backlinks have gone up from 75 to close to 2000.

    One of my sites has gone down from PR3 to PR2 (which was expected)

    But i was really hoping www.itsall3.com would have gone up.

    Oh well, 3 more months. :eek:

    The update seemed to mostly consist of a partial update. It only seemed to index new pages, are there many examples of people who've actually had previously PR'ed pages given increases?

    As I wrote in a PM: One of my sites has a PR4 index page, whilst a sitewide link to a subpage has given that page a PR5. I havn't kept looking around on others, but contrary to what a lot of people think, it seems that sitewide links still seem to be counted in passing a great deal of PR!

    I don't really see it as much of an issue as I've stopped caring about PR with the co-op network dying lately :( My explanation for this is the Google backend PR is actually a great deal higher on the index page than the toolbar is showing.

    Hey Guys,
    Just now my friend called me up and said his site is showing PR0 which actually was PR5 on last update.

    I immedietly cehcked the issue and found him correct. But you know what I cehcked with many other known sites and found that there is a heave loss in PR to many websites.

    Even yahoo.com which used to be at PR10 always is showing as PR9. LOL

    You guys gott'a check urs for the update.

    I think today is the PR update day.

    Regards
    Mirainfo

    Neither a blessing or a curse, because PR is TOTALLY AND UTTERLY IRRELEVANT x 10000 :)

    You are exempt if you are:
    - a link merchant
    - an SEO (hoping to sell PR, as opposed to ranks)
    - looking to purchase a site and want an idea of its link popularity
    - something that directly deals with the PR of a site

    PR does not affect rankings (it does if you're using the co-op).

    A few trusted, relevant links can give a new site PR4, whilst another site with 500+ links may only get a PR3.

    On Friday, I noticed a drop from 1280 backlinks to 879. Today, I'm seeing 689. How much should I read into this? I've been building my backlinks, so if anything it should have gone up from 1280. My competitor is showing over 10,000 backlinks? :confused:

    What's the correct method of checking backlinks - link: www.mysite.com or links: www.mysite.com. The latter seems to cut down my backlinks even further.


    No change in PR - holding steady at PR6.

    but a drop of 5 rankings even if it isnt important, seems drastic at least. I would expect more than just a few sites to plummet.
