    Does anybody see this before? Many people said that during pr update, PR maybe drop and then back when the update done.

    My sites'pr dropped several times during update, but never came back after it down. So wait a few days will be a good answer?

    I think the update is complete. Other than ironing out a few bugs you won't see many further changes.

    They probably lost toolbar PR on inner pages due to lack of unique content.

    i agree with mike update looks to be complete but yet again google always surprises us. It is a bit strange this time. I have a directory that i used to play around with phpld and now i was just checking it and it has PR4. I have only one back link to that directory and it is from a page with no PR on it.

    I remember a PR update in the past where it went up and down for weeks, then finally settled.

    As if Yahoo care about that. Google , Yahoo and MSN are the three strong forces in the search engine arena. Granted that Google is way ahead, but surely Yahoo as well as MSN do not need to follow Google invention , the PR.

    I don't see internal PR in DP also. I believe this will change soon.

    I might be wrong but I thought I was seeing PR for the forums indexes (Google, Directories, ...).

    Does this mean that if you are listed in the yahoo directories, you won't get as high of a PR as before?

    A client I am working with has very few backlinks, but is listed in the Yahoo Directory. This PR update their site went down to a PR 2. The change in PR you noted at Yahoo Dir would explain this.

    Thanks for the info...

    Yahoo directory is a paid one. Mighty Google penalized them for being baddd.
