No problem, I dont take your question as a bash. I just think this won't stick. I think they are tweaking their server PR fetching, and something went awry. Thats all, we shall see though. I am already seeing one site lose its new found PR on a few DC's
I'm gonna have to disagree with your disagreement. This is definately a mistake. There is too much evidence to support it. Garbages sites with no links getting PR 5 and 6? Come on now. Some are already reporting that their false hopes were just that, false hopes. My 3 week old site is now losing its newfound PR 5 as I speak.
I stand corrected, I am looking at the datacenters now and the pr is droping on my sites and others........ Henry..........sorry...........please forgive.........I spoke to soon Looks like pr is dropping everywhere.......even on mystics new arcade directory
Yes, I apologise, you guys are right the pr is all fading fast........... I stand correct...............please forgive me for speaking to soon
Joeny, no need for apologise, we all are speculating just like you! None of us know for sure what the hell google is going to do next...
actually , it's in and out. strange can any of you old-timers let us know what happened at the last update? Thanks!
Well...it's either a mistake or a deliberate move to make PR meaningless. Either way, it is not good for us as a whole. Some may consider it good short-term since they have high PR on some sites, but in the long run, it is very bad for us since one of the main indicators we used to use would then be of no use whatsoever. So, if this sticks, myself and a lot of others will not even look at PR when buying links (at least for any site less than 6 months old). This may have been Google's goal.
Thats what I have been thinking, PR has been so easily manipulated, that maybe like you said, "google is trying to make it meaningless" Who knows, I wish Matt Cutts would comment..................
PR for my site that went from 0 to 6 is sticking. In fact when I checked an hr ago only about 12 of 21 had 6, now all have PR6. If it is fading, its not for me
They make a lot of mistakes - and perhaps this will be one of their biggest, but it most certainly is not real.
my stayed at 3 It's suppose to be 6, last update most datacenters were showing 6 but now all are showing 3, nuts to that!
