if it's really PR up i think it's important, i just want to know who also have pr up if it's not - moderators can delete this topic if they want)
There was another Minor PR update today! my friends site got degarded from PR 2 to PR 1 site ( www[dot] realitypod [dot] com) NOW i am sure that PR isn't dead Youuuuhuuuuu!
I'm still not sure I understand these minor "updates". Not much seems to actually get updated. A couple of people report changes, and lots more people report no change (like me). I have a (permanently) PR1 blog that I haven't updated since last March. If I tried to sell links from that blog, would that be worth anything at all? Probably not, but just thought I'd ask. I just wish it had been "frozen" at a higher toolbar PR.
what the diff with minor and major update? how can you be sure this time is minor, not the major? *ive lost PR-2 to n/a from domain i bought this morning.. sigh*
lolz...lucky seller! I almost always have found my decent PR sites fallen to PR0 with these whatever major or minor updates they are. However, it should be my lucky day today that I found only of my PR sites down to zero while as mentioned above, another Pr0 got Pr2. Truth be told, Google is trying its best to screw the webmaters relying on link sales. Have fun webmasters!
A minor update covers most newly registered domains and some newly produced web pages. A major update covers all root pages of all domains, whether new or long established. The general view is to call anything that doesn't cover the root pages of all long established domains a "minor" update. Google does three major updates every year, and sometimes a fourth. If there are only three, the omitted major update usually is the one from the fall. Which is to say, this year is not as freakish unusual as everyone keeps acting like it is. The one major update Google always hits in the New Years update, which usually occurs between Dec 31 and Jan 2. There's no need for a big freakout unless we're sitting here at the end of the first week of January and there still hasn't been a major update.
