Google's 2007-Q3/Q4 PageRank (PR) Update

still no update

maybe there will never be aonther update

that will slow the paid link industry to a grinding hault.

 

Hi

I would like to share a fact that I noticed google just did some changes recently within last week. One of the websites that I have my backlink changed from PR5 to PR6. My websites is still PR4 but I see a huge jump in SERP for a my mojor targeted keywords. I jumped from page 6 to top of page 2.

Also, somone here said that a lot of FRESH new websites are temporarily listed towards the top of the index to give them some good startup.
I just noticed by looking at some competitors that their ranking dropped.

Just some facts I noticed. Did anybody notice anything similar?

 

I noticed one of my competitors who has always been ranked well (No1) for "keywordA" dropped to the second page. Maybe a Google Dance

 

yes I noticed something similar, some very strange results.
Sites that has very low number of backlinks showing in top10, they are not new sites but started to rank

 

but still this other website changed from PR5 to PR6. And I didnt hear anything about PR Update.

 

I noticed a big change in my stats yesterday.
One of my sites was ranked #1, #2, #3, etc. on Google for many common keywords.
But today is not listed even on top 100 for most of them
Their Google traffic (thousands of visitors per day) was yesterday less than half.

 

I've seen significant changes in SERPs every day now for more than a month. At any given time, there can be 3 or 4 sets spread across the various DCs.

So, one particular site moving drastically does not surprise me. My guess is that G is trying a few new things, collecting click through data, applying that to site position, and then starting all over again.

/*tom*/

 

no update yet.

I am curious if and when will be.

 

Seems JohnChow.com went down from 6 to 5.

 

I saw a roll back to what the results looked like a couple of months ago for some of the keywords that I watch.

 

I can CONFIRM your observation.
I opened a new window - opened JohnChow.com and its PR5 now- down from PR6.

 

Ditto. Today my listings are dancing all over the page.

 

Yes I noticed a change yesterday, and with that also my disappeared from the serps. And I have no traffic = 0$ revenue.
:angry:

 

Looks like PR5 here, too. Was it really PR6 before?

Might be just a fluctuation, I saw another reported just recently.

Smart PageRanks reports PR5 on all datacenters for John Chow, though.

 

Heh, that will teach him for whoring out his blog to paid links.

 

And I though not ranking for even his name would have been enough

 

Yes - it really was a PR6 site. I visit it often.

 

Ok, then does this mean that an export is happening, or is it a single penalization?

 

I have been holding steady 3 months for 3 of our keywords - and now ended up on page 7 in the last week.

 

Haha, I didn't know about that one. Good old google!
