4/4/06 PR update

oh my.. two domains that i haven't developed at all got PR4.. time to make them work

 

Mine went from PR0 to PR 4

 

I'm just going to look away at PR's for a few days. Wake me up when it's over.

 

yep same with me.

 

Yep this thread is going forever... Everyone has a PR and thats good .. but lets be patient and practical. The question is do we really deserve the PR we recvd for sites that are only 3 weeks or a month old? But if google decides 2 keep it stable then who cares

 

Good question. The answer is that they use PR (or the threat of taking it away) to control websites.

 

Hi All

Has anyone noticed that there's been a PR update on Google?

 

ROFFLMMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

A new one of mine lauched about 3 weeks ago has a PR4 home page and PR3 interiors. The funny thing is that I have only 2 or backlinks. Go figure.

/tom/

 

Is 4 the new 0?

 

Yeah I have 2 site, undeveloped with only backlinks from a few other of my site go up to a PR5 from a PR0. The strange thing the 5 or so backlinks are from PR3 or lower pages?!?!?

My main site that I submited to hundreds of other directories, have list on at least 7 PR5 pages and tons of other pages stayed a PR4???

 

big changes for me on a brand new one

 

nothing new on any of my websites

 

This is strange. I have a somewhat new site in relation to Google standards. It was launched Dec 3rd. Back in Feb we did get a PR 2 which I thought nothing of considering we might not have had the right BLs counted before Googles cutoff for that update.

Now this update we are still showing a PR 2 on the homepage but most all interior pages are all PR 4s. This is quite odd as 99% of the interior pages have no BLs pointing to them. Any thoughts cause this has me scratching my head.

 

This is hilarious. This thread has over 300 posts, and none of us has any idea what's really going on at Google.

 

Dang, this is the best day of my life. I got pr6 on all of my studios internal pages... and pr5 on my other sites.

 

yea, go to iwebtool and check your PR on the datacenters.... they are all the same, but the toolbar seems to be showing different then what it is even reporting???? Google better get a grip on this.

 

BOO YAH, UPDATe..
I got a PR5 after it was a PR 0

 

I know exactly what's going on. After visiting the Google store, hyped up on sugar and caffeine, one of the tech spilt some coke on several of the servers causing a chain reaction. This is what Y2K would have been like if it actually happened.

Nah, just kidding, here's the truth;

 

Just a few points. (first some background)
I now have three new PR4 sites and a PR5 site. All of which went on line before the last PR update but too late to get any PR; for all the sites I have them linked to my own PR5 site, (the new PR5 site has a few other links too).
Furthermore on my two older sites, new pages that went up around the time of the last PR update and up to the middle of March now have PR. No older pages had PR updated.

Firstly, Given that a link from a PR5 normally goes 4, the PR is what I would expect the 'live' PR to be. I therefore feel the PR update to be early rather than incorrect.

Secondly, many people are saying that they are getting PR higher than the page they have linked from. As older pages have not been updated I would be really interested if people who have sites in this catergory, would check their 'live' PR from the pages that they are linking from, could it be that a PR4 link, leading to a PR5, in reality has a 'live' PR of 6?

My opinion (I'm not humble I think that this is just part of a correction of the last PR update, which was totally screwey and unstable. Maybe it was easier just to set a data 'freeze' date, grab all new data and add it to the older data, at the same time overwriting all the unstable data.

Or with the Big Daddy finished it may be easier to implement more frequent updates; if people can run site predictors, I'm sure that Google could make PR toolbar 'live' if it really wanted to!
