how long for Google PR?

What is the minimum time it takes from starting a site to getting a Google PR, assuming you have quite few links to your site?

 

Whenever the next visual Pagerank update is; the real value is changing real-time behind the scenes.

 

what do you man by that- doesn't page rank update automatically every day?

 

Yes, but the value we see is only updated every 3 to 6 months

 

sorrry for being thick but does that mean you could have a Google page rank and it doesn't show up until the next 3 months is due?

Also how do you find out when the next one is due

Cheers

 

Page Rank not updated daily, 3~4months update once from Google. The next update estimate on Jun 2008

 

Wrong, Pagerank is updated real-time; the value you see via the Google toolbar and Pagerank check scripts is a visual Pagerank value that is only updated every 3-6 months.

 

Is theres ome way to check a real time page rank somewhere other than Google toolbar and pagerank check scripts?

 

You'll never know the real-time Pagerank value, the visual PR is data from the past.

 

ssandecki's right. The PageRank you seei n the toolbars and sites like www.digpagerank.com are best compared to light from another star. When you look at a star (let's say Eta Carinae for example) through a telescope, you're not seeing the star as it appears now. What you're seeing is the star as it appeared when that ray of light left the star (in the case of Eta Carinae, that would be about 7,500-8,000 ago). So, while you could be looking at this through your telescope:



Chances are that the star could have finally gone hypernova (yes, HYPER, not super - this star's WAY too big to go "supernova"), but if it has, we won't know about it until its light (and potentially life-killing gamma rays) get here.

PageRank works the same way.

 

That's deep.

+rep for the deep analogy.

 

so when is the next page rank update??

 

Right now. And every time someone asks that question, I'll give the exact same answer again. As for the public updates (with the stale information), it'll happen when it happens, so stop chasing after PageRank and instead focus on your rankings.

 

It is updated in real-time. However, Google updates the toolbar in 3-4months BUT the PR is continuously updated in real-time.

 

I dunno, but I have been waiting over 4 months and they still haven't updated the PR on my site

 

great feedback but can someone explain the difference between pagerank and rankings?

 

PageRank is an indicator of how popular and/or relevant a Web page is. Rankings are the listings in the search engine results pages that are generated whenever someone searches for something. Basically the higher the PageRank, the "better" the Web page may be; same holds true with the rankings - the closer to the top a page is, the more relevant it may be.

Of course, these are not absolutes, but they are powerful indicators.

 

Thanks all - much clearer now!

 

Pagerank is updated realtime in google database but updates once in 3-6 months for google toolbar

 

too bad you have to wait 3 months
