Pagerank WILL be updated

From the google forum:

"As Luzie mentioned, we have been updating the Toolbar PageRank (also since April), though it's possible that you don't see it for every URL/site.

Obviously seeing so many reports is a bit odd -- I've passed your feedback on to the team here to review. At this time, we are not planning on removing the Toolbar PageRank. It's an important signal for us (but again, it's one out of hundreds of signals), so I think it's good to expose some of that to users. As a webmaster, I think it's an interesting metric, but overall it really shouldn't be a goal.

One thing to keep in mind is that PageRank is based on the URL, not the site. Additionally, it's possible that technical changes on your site (or on Google's view of your site) can impact PageRank -- for instance, if your site's URLs move from one domain to another, if we choose a different canonical URL for indexing your homepage, or if pages from your site drop out of the search results for various reasons (downtime, getting hacked, full of ... spam -- hopefully not yours ). These technical issues can happen over time (one way to safeguard against some of them is to make sure that your site uses proper canonicalization techniques from the start). Our systems are generally quite good at recognizing and reacting to them, but you might see the reactions as fluctuations in Toolbar PageRank, even if it doesn't impact your site's crawling, indexing, and ranking.

Hope this helps a bit,

Cheers

It was about time. I noticed some updates on my websites also.

 

Oh really...thanks for the news...BTW I haven't noticed any change yet...

 

Thanks for the info. Hope to see some changes.

 

BS. Still no PR updates.

 

my site still PR 0

 

Now if I can figure out a way to get even one of my pages to update. I wish there was some way to avoid flying blind...

 

Someday they will do a major update, maybe can be in december 2011, who knows? The most important thing is: the toolbar will not be removed.

 

great news. 1+ to holly crap of PR threads.

GUYS Grow Up

 

it's simple, just don't visit threads like this.

 

Thanks for the information every one looking for updation.

 

So true Xjackx..dudes trying to bump his post count, and anyone who makes the same comments

 

I am only concerned about the update because I don't want to buy any high pr expiring domains before the update.

 

Figured it was around the corner. About 2 weeks ago Google started fiddling around with the aglorhyhtm again as I noticed tonnes of people complaining that they lst spots and then it was returned to them. So we'll see what happens. Definitely is going to be a new 2011 update

 

When you're going to write something like that cite a source of the original article... That's like Copyright 101.

I guess that's good news then. Most people want to see a pagerank update. Even though it will mean absolutely nothing in terms of traffic...

 

All I understand from this is that they will not remove the Toolbar PR. But no major PR update in sight.

 

Does pagerank even matter?

 

Wow. Didn't realize that! If that is true, how do we optimize our URL for Page Rank?

 

Still I am waiting for PR.

 

I don't even give it a second thought. Most people would be wise to do the same.
