    IMO- its not a rollback- it might just be the case of upping the PR BAR.
    Saw these updates last night- no activity as yet for my sites. But I am expecting the same trend with my sites too.:(

    I think you are right, was just wishful thinking on my behalf.

    Still no changes on any of my sites.

    Thanks Brian

    I know the reason for your question:p --but don't worry- I am also expecting some activity on my new directory. I think the trend is coming from high to low to new. So we must wait few more weeks.:p

    While this isn't great news, it isn't devastating news either! I can now get on with the upgrades that I have been planning shortly before the PR hub bub started. Don't panic everyone, just stick to the commitment of making your directories better resources for everyone.

    LOL hope you are right, I fear worse news it yet to come.

    Fingers crossed all will turn out well, PR is not the most important issues, yet still nice to have.

    Thanks Brian

    I haven`t really been watching this, but was curious to know if any of these directories have lost any PR on their internal pages?

    I can see one directory in the list that I think has lost -1 on the directory category, not sure about the rest.

    Thanks Brian

    These are the sort of positive comments that keep us on going.:cool:

    Yes- PR is of course very important for directories. But there are other things also -which makes you stand-out of the crowd -like additional values.

    I have just decided that I'll have 1 PR5 and 3 PR4 directories with this update:p

    So you are assuming the PR update export has happened and your dirs just didn't change? How do you know that?

    Also I am seeing a bit of a backlink change, so I wonder if they are updating backlinks and the toolbar at the same time? They did a backlink update quite a few weeks ago so maybe they thought it was a bit stale?
