Link development for next PR Update

I know for a fact this has been answered in other pages, but I cant for the life of me find it.

I read someonespost about it a month or so ago just cant remember it or find it.

My question is I really want to get PR5 for the next update. At the moment I am PR3, but I really wouldnt be happy with just PR4 because of the amount of development I have done.

My question is, lets hypothesize that the next PR update is in 7 days. Will any links I get within this time, have a DIRECT effect on any PR changes that I may accumulate.

I see little point in investing another 200$ this month into links if I will just be missing this pending update 'if' it is within a week.

How long should you target campaigns before to ensure they are picked up.

Im sure this could be an interesting discussion if people have their own theories on sites that they have tested this on.

Thanks.

 

On what basis you are saying that next PR update is after 7 Days, and if it is then any link you will buy currently will not help in this PR update.

G maintain certain time period for back link for counting in PR update.

 

It's probable that any links added now will not have any bearing on the next toolbar PR export. I'm sure we're passed the cut off date that the next export will be based on.

 

Yup, its that 'period' that I am trying to calculate or find out.

Is the period one month? Is the period 3 active months.

Anyone with insight. I am unsure if I should spend a few hundred on some links

 

I beieve that too. Considering all the backlinks were updated by google last week also.

 

It's a hypothesy - he's just pretending the PR update is in 7 days for the purposes of this question. I remember posting in the thread you refer to Kalyse and I argued then that any links you accumulated before the PageRank 'snapshot' was taken would count - the question is how far before the actual visible PR export is this snapshot? I'll try and dig the link to that thread out and I'll add it on here.

 

You need to quit thinking short term. Link development now may be visible in the expected update around July

 

Here's the thread you're referring to:

It seems links were counted up to 1 week before the toolbar value started to change.

 

Why does it matter? If it doesnt show up this update, it will next one, and even then PR will do nothing but let you sell links for higher to idiots who care about PR.

 

if the sites are spidered within the next 7 days the links will matter for the next update.

 

Well... I am not agree on this.

 

I know im the one asking the question originally, but I also disagree.

 

And had the ability to design complex calculations in which I used the number of inbound links a site had I would keep track of the links, the date they appeared and how long they lasted on the site they came from.

I would increase the value of the link if it were some how related to the content, was within the content and not sitting in between a bunch of other links or on every page of a site.

It would gain value up to a point of it's age on the site and then it would start to loose value after some amount of time as it just wouldn't be natural for a site to maintain a link to another site indefinitely in "many" circumstances.

So if I were google, a link appearing right up to the day before an update was rolled out would "count" but probably not as much as if it were recognized just after the last roll out.

And.... I think that if you had a link plan that involved obtaining links at a set number per month and then after 6 - 8 months started dropping the old ones a bit at a time and replacing them with new ones as well as continuing to obtain more, the link value would consistently improve.

But that's if I were Google

To my experience from previous PR updates links that were younger than 2 months were not taken into calculations.

 

I know this is completley off the topic of my original post.

Buthow many PR4 or PR5. PR6 links fo you think you need to receive a PR5?

I think I may get that for one of my sites on the next update.

This will be an icnrease from PR3 but im not 100% sure if this wil lhappen.d

 

I can remember an earlier update, when I had been updating a blog regular and the cut offs for the posts that got PR (toolbar pr) were about 5 weeks before the update. I think this is quite variable with each PR updat and any associated problem they have and can remember someone saying the toolbar uplink was about a two week period on one of their blogs on a later update.

 

There are sites (older, more trusted) which this time can be less, but weak and unstable sites needs more time, that's right.

 

It's depends of page strenght and outbound, no easy solution.

 

who knows what happens with a pr update. On the last three or four updates they have not updated all sites. I've had sites where the home page didn't change for about 3 updates, but the internal ones did (with higher pr than the homepage). I wouldn't put to much faith in a pr update. that said most new sites will get some PR, its the older ones that seem to act a little strange.

 

The snapshot period is usually 3-6 weeks before the visible update. But google is never very consistant with this.
