Another PR Question

How often does Google update their PR??
Ive heard answers from every 5 days to twice a year...

 

It DID occur about every 3 months, but the most recent toolbar PR update was due at the middle to end of August, and it didn't happen. There could be a lot of reasons for this - a large update that is taking longer than expected; a change in the frequency of updates; a alteration to the toolbar that removes PR entirely.

No one can know when Google will update the toolbar PR. Maybe it won't happen ever again...

 

More precisely most Google about it not who does not know

 

I have not seen any PR update for more than 1 year in my site.

 

I think its around 3 months.

 

Answer of the Month!

A sharp person makes observations not conclusions..

impressed.

 

3 months, but are completely not obligatory, exceptions were often enough

 

3 months but now it looks like twice a year(every 6 months).

 

The only realistic answer at the moment is we don't know how often G will update PR in future

 

Frequency of updating PR recently in general a riddle became

 

Keep in mind that Google's internal PageRank information is updated continuously - that is every day as they crawl the web. Its only the public PageRank database that the Google Toolbar uses for its display that is updated periodically.

 

only think I am seeing is the serps jumping around

 

Excellent point - that's why SERPs are far more important than PR.

 

Indeed public viewable pagerank is all smoke and mirrors. Watching a PR toolbar is like watching grass grow via an irregularly taken photograph.
