I am seeing a lot of PR movement on PR8 and PR9 sites right now using the future pagerank tool over at SEOChat. Is this possibly the start of the update? Can we expect it to continue this way throughout the day (moving next to PR7's etc) or is this just some type of April Fools correction for high PR sites. Interesting regardless
Well DMOZ is the biggest although there has been a lot of movement over at the White House too. Some major newspapers, NASA, and froogle to name a few more. I don't have a huge listing of PR8 sites so if someone has one or knows of some others, report what you are seeing. Cheers
I just tried a dozen PR8s I know of.. and all look stable to me using seochat's future PR tool. DMOZ, like you mentioned, I'm seeing changes there also..
PR fluctuations are occurring in high value sites. This might be a false positive though, to do with the transition to the new Google toolbar which uses slightly different queries to retrieve pagerank (new checksum) Both the old hash and new hash function used to validate PR queries result in odd values for certain URLs
List of pr10 sites here http://www.seocompany.ca/pagerank/page-rank-10-sites.php Some are dropping to a PR9 using seochat tool.
It is also possible that the PR update is going to take a long time to filter down due to the amount of resources dedicated to increasing every gMail account to 2GB. They are updating them all at the same time..Its like watching a download on dialup....1.31 Gb.....1.32GB....1.33GB
It'ss not a good sign for the rest of us when all of these larger sites seem to be dropping. Maybe it's the effects of the increased size of the index.
Yes, the same thing seemed to happen hours before the last update so who knows. This thread also might die at midnight when no update materializes. You never know with Google
Agree, the one thing they are damn good it is playing with peoples minds! It's not worth worrying too much, when it happens it's happens C'est la Vie!
No, I was actually kidding..I picture all the available engineers huddled around the gMail super computer eating doughnuts, watching the size of mailboxes increase and forgetting to hit the "Update PR Completely" button. I live in a very simplified world
