I personally found the page rank algorism is quite complex. Internet is a very complicated network and it getting more and more comlex. Million of new pages/websites are added every day. Let say, When Internet has 1 billion pages, it takes Google computers 24 hours to correctly calculate page rank for each page. Now, if you have 5 billion pages, how long does it take? Should it be 24 x 5 hours??? I guess not! May be 24^2 or 24^3 (hours) ??? I know that Google add a lot lot of servers... but may be not enough How many pages we have now? How many more pages added after each update (i.e., around 3 months)? I think it reaches the limit now... it seems some things must come will come? Just my opinion... have some fun discussions guys
I couldn't get a clear understanding of what you said...if you are saying that google is struggling with the pagerank update....It takes time and it always behaves funny before finally settling down....
If Google struggle with the update ? No, Its their update, they do it the way they want. You think it reaches the limit ? It will never reach the limit cause there are no limit.
Maybe the OP should offer his sheer intellect to Google in helping them overcome their algo problems?? Col
I meant Google does have enough computer resources to calculate accurate pageranks for the current update.
if any one company can do it....then google can...I'm sure you need more servers and storage space to keep youtube active....and compare to youtube, a PR update is easy...
Google PR update isn't taking place every three-four months as most of the public think, it's instant. The TBPR update which takes place every three-four months is a snapshot of the current PR of each page. Back to your topic, when google bots spider a page they count links on that page as votes and credit them to the linked pages and calculate these pages PR accordingly. So to keep things brief, PR calculations are done while spidering.
They dont do it overnight. Google is always keeping track of site changes, backlinks and updating their algos. They just update pr every 3 months or so. They just keep up-to-date
The TBPR update happenes every four months, so how come it is so unstable, I don't believe simple db update that toolbar uses would cause so much bouncing around I believe that Google created the whole PR to make you talk about it and waste your time, not to mention the paranoia that it creates around itself Get a life Cheers
I believe that google is purposly not updating some data centers, As smart as those guys are you know that if they wanted to they could fix the problem. But since so many people focus on pr and backlinks it is a good way to frustrate people and try to get them to focused on something other than pr and backlinks.
Personally I'm a bit disappointed with the last update as a year old site dropped from PR4 to PR0 and a site I've run since '98 has fallen from a steady & stable PR5 to just PR3... and yet others remain where they were... So are Google struggling? I dunno, I'm struggling to understand why my drop...
