4/4/06 PR update

*shrug*

You could be right, Michael S. But there are more things in Google and Earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy, Horatio...

I really don't pay a lot attention to Toolbar PR - I just put on my Super Myth Debunker Costume when an update starts because I know I'm going to need it by about page 1 or 2 of the inevitable 80 page thread.

And how many of those links have been devalued or discounted? How many were purchased? How many were from Link Vault or something similar? How many were page-topic-relevant?

 

oh, in fact, I have three sites jumping from PR0 to PR5. One link is a sublink in another site.

 

w00t
gone from PR0 to PR5 on 2 sites that i only got about 2 months ago.

 

Google guys decided to apply a new filter that favours older sites to newer sites, so the older the site the higher the PR. But, they applied it the wrong way!! So, all new 2 month old sites are now enjoying fab PRs while the older sites are sitting with their existing pathetic Pageranks.

 

Yea, I know what you're saying...and I agree with what you're saying. My point is only that with this specific site that I own myself, I don't think it has the volume of links (considering their PR) to achieve the PR7 status. I mean, I would like for that to be the case...and there's no reason I would say that if it weren't true. It just does not have many links compared to other sites that are less. For example, another of my sites is PR6, and it has at least 20 times more links than the PR7 site (and higher PR links). I have another site that is PR4 (it did not change with this latest update), and it has probably 50 times the number of links as the PR7 (and higher PR links). None of these three sites have co-op or linkvault. I just can't imagine any links that would be enough to give that site a PR7. In any case, it's not a big deal. I am glad to have the PR7 for the few benefits a higher PR offers, but I would have rather had the proper (correct) increases on all sites than the excessive increase on a site that had not been through a PR update before.

 

Agree with you,man!

That is what I worried about!!

Hope the google give us some explaintions.......

Ok, bad joke. What is happening is a simple mistake, I am sure google will get a handle on things in the next few days and fix it.

Hahaha, I am glad I got some folks, thanks for all the rep too!!

 

The way high pr is distributed by google it may first step towards devaluing high page rank and discouraging link sale market.

 

Yeah, Google can't have other people running around selling advertising, now can they

 

nothing changed!!

same as before...

 

Thanks for this link it has to be one of the best pr tools i have come across

Bookmarked

 

Also some of new pages of my Old sites Got PR same as Home Page.

 

I see changes people

 

I am actually seeing many sites dropping from PR 4, 5 down to 0. (predicted by a upcomingpr site, and 1 of the sites already confirmed to be 0.) Can you take a look at the following link?

Kaye,

Those future pagerank tools don't work any more.. all sites will show a 0

 

Oh really? I see.. =)

 

Hmm, back in January my site was PR4 and it predicted PR5.

Now my site is still PR4 and it predicts PR 3

 

I predict that your next PR will be PR6. Does that make you feel better?
