Kevin I think its normal to talk about Google PR update here. This is a webmaster forum and there can be a bunch of threads opened for discussions on either SERP or PR. concerning the duplicates. I think this is not the only duplicated thread in DP. I see a bunch of others that have a bit different text but talk about exactly the same subject. I dont think mods should limit the users. If this is the place to talk about PR update, then the users should be able to talk about. If anyone does not care about the PR, (s)he must just not open this thread and that's all Ludwig
I do see some of my sites pages getting some new PR. Google is doing visible PR updates very often these days.
Is it so? if it is in process, i m so happy. becoz i have lots of backlinks for my site. so surely my page rank will increase this time.
You're right that its normal to talk about a PR update here...everyday another user starts a new thread to say that PR is updating or asking when the next PR update is. That's the annoying part! No one can know for sure when the next PR update is. Sure, in the past the updates were fairly regimented, but that's not the case anymore. I think people are obsessing about PR way too much. The only thing good about PR is that you can sell your decent PR sites and links to other PR obsessed webmasters. Who cares that the site doesn't get any traffic or make money; its a PR5! Kevin
Totally agree with you Kevin, but this time, my client's site went from PR4 to PR0 and then back to PR4, during that week of PR0 he was calling me every single day and asking what is happening, and then all of a sudden the PR is back up strange thing, never got the reason why. But the fact is that my client is very much interested in higher PR. Its me and you that dont care about it (unless selling links) but clients do care, thinking that if their PR6 and their competitor's is 4 then their site is better Ludwig
People do get to concerned about PR but it is important to people espesically as it increases the value of their sites. I haven't noticed an update but other people have so something must have been going on. It wish google would make offical announcements about these things to stop the gossip
Why is this your priority? Do you have clients watching it or is it personal? The consensus is that at best PR does not matter and at worst, it may be going away soon.
It won't be going anywhere as google is underpinned by it. As humans we like to see reward for effort and its pr in this case!
