link bait go to my blog... No serious it was around March 16/17. Whats the snapshot date? The new PR update that is now available is actually a reflection of what existed at a cetain time. The PR is not calculated via your backlinks that exists today. Google takes a "picture" of the internet at a certain time. All the backlinks is obviously part of that information. All the information is exported to Matt Cutts Powerbook 140 and than it takes some time for the data to be crunched and than exported. So how the date figured? Looking at Google Webmaster blog you see some posts in March have PR. Some in March do not. Therefore you can figure out they took the "picture" on a certain date. March 15 post has PR-March 18 does not. So what does it mean? If you've been busy since say April 1 building backlinks the PR value of those links will not be refelcted in this PR update. They are reflected in your SERPs for whatever keywords you used but thats another story. Links in place and INDEXED before march 16th will add to the PR value that you are currently seeing. FYI-I've done this several time now and the PR snapsnot date usually fall into this 4-8 week window although once it was way longer. Any other questions fire away.
havent looked at the posts and dates and trust you on them, and I think you are correct, the window is definitely not 3 months anymore, its much less, sometimes you can have a blog go PR2 in 3 weeks if you time it right (by luck, obviously )
