How long does it take for page rank to change?

i've submitted myself to lots of directories... about 20 have accepted so far.. all above pr1... most above pr4... how do i know when my rank changes? and how long will it take?

thanks

 

another question... when i search my url...gadget-net.com it finds 281 results... does that mena i have 281 links to my website?

 

No it doesnt' mean you got 281 links... You should use the linkdomain: function at Yahoo.com (with except from this domain option) to know that.

But trust Google, if you have backlinks, your rank already changed (but you can't know it)

 

whenever the next update happens and if you got enough backlinks you will see a change in your site pr.

 

Thanks for the "linkdomain:" function.

I didn't know about this at Yahoo. This appears to work much better then the "link:" function at Google. It actually shows links to my sites, unlike the google one that only shows a few select links to my sites.

 

3 months... 6 months... a year?

There are many factors to consider. Like when the last update was. Or when are your links in those directories going to be indexed themselves. Some may have already been crawled, some may never get crawled or at least take months. Then, once they do get crawled they will not take effect until at least the next PR update.

Regardless though, keep at it, most will be found, and most will eventually give some bonus eventually.

 

thanks for your info.. im keeping at it... i'll keep up link building and so on... it was just a general question.. so thanks for your info

 

One of the biggest keys is to just keep getting those backlinks. Don't worry so much about PR. It is really an artifical number anyway. Does PR get a new visitor to your site. NO. Marketing and backlinks, and content gets new visitors. And gets old ones to return. So get to work

 

Expect it 3 to 4 months upon the updates. Don't worry about it too much. Just build more links. If you get quality links. Then your PR will change for sure.

 

Very True Iceshards- People should forget about PR and focus on link building..........

 

Get more and more Quality/relevant Links from blogs, articles, forum signatures etc. But always make sure they are dofollow and related ( for PR juice).

 

Hi ardley216,

Google it takes 3 to 4 months to update the page rank, If you can get quality back links in your site your page rank will we increasing. so try to get good links in your sites.

 

In getting rank in Google, there is no instantly appear your site or get rank, I thought the answer is "strive and wait" with patience...
