Does anyone know how often Google updates its Page Rank Numbers. Someone told me that it was every 3-6 months and that one just occurred in January.
Google updates Pagerank almost "real-time" behind the scenes, the visible Pagerank to the public via the Google toolbar and data centers is every 3-4 months, but the time can be longer at times.
Thanks ssandecki. That explains why page positioning is always moving but the hard numbers remain for months. I will visit Civic SEO
Google updates approximately every 3 months generally speaking, however mine updated last month and the next update is supposed to be about easter time. Will.
Read this article today ... seems Google is doing their update soon http://www.searchnewz.com/latestsearch/senews/sn-4-20080219GoogleUpdating.html
I think PR are updated in real time and that Pr are used in getting the ranking. but the toolbar rank are updated in some undisclosed period by google. it could be 3 month or 6 months. but I believe if everything is going on smoothly for google they could update it every quarter just like financial reports.
I believe that Google is updating PR continually but the poor webmasters get the News every 3-4 months.:-(
Well update comes in 2 and half months to 3 and half months, as you can see for last year, the update was in late of June 2007, than it was in Middle of October 2007, Than update comes in Middle of Jan 2008. Now, i think it will be in Middle or late of April. Note: But i got surprise update for only one page of my website that was in 3 PR page in Jan.2008 update and i got update on 8th Feb.2008, and that respective page PR goes down to 0 Why that i don't know...
The last update happened in the month of January and the next is due soon. Keep working on acquiring good links and leave the rest on to Google. It will reward genuine sites and penalize bad ones
The answer is no. It is part of Google algorithm. They don't display it publicly. Only the toolbar is their measure but unfortunately it is months old.
