    Google made a somewhat major update to their algorithm which can cause a huge jump or drop in where your websites ranks in Google searches.

    I don't consider myself an expert, but I'd suggest that it was somekind of update to the google algo.
    If you mean 'What did it actually do' ? It's believed that it is being rolled out in 3 or more stages, so we think we've seen stage 1. Until all stages are comlete it's impossible to tell exactly what it did.

    See the following threads for more info:
    cost of jagger
    jagger third wave
    google dancing
    Set aside an hour or two and read through those threads.

    Having organic quality links increases your serps, use pr as a quality gauge of pages that links to you.

    Nope PR doesnt effect SERP

    Look in this way. many people think that only a good quality site, which is having a handful amount of backlinks gets a higher PR value.
    So they look for such sites.
    if a new site, with PR0 but whose Webmaster is constantly building Good backlinks, working hard on the content, most likely it will get a PR of 5-6 soon often.

    So realy PR doesnt matter

    Ok. Got the point.

    Actually I was amazed when I say a PR2 for my yahoo group. I never tried to build any links to it.

    I found around 15 links to it.

    2 from DP ...from Alexa ranking thread (I mentioned my group).

    1 from Yahoo groups directory.

    12 or so from other groups, to which the messages from my group were forwarded.
