Google updated page rank one week ago on the 13th. And this is my take on it... This pr update was spidered at the end of may and rolled out 1 1/2 months later. This is the reason for the hari kari results and is in my words the worst pr update google has ever done. It also seems like google ignores old pages while giving new inner pages a higher rank that the front page has. Also it seems as though page rank is getting harder to get and google is not graduating pages like normal. I has sites take on a pr7 but there are no pr6 pages within the site, only pr5's and 4's. Previous updates graduated pages gracefully but that was not the case on this update. I had sites dump to pr0 because during the spider timeline the sites had no linkd pointing at them and then on the opposite end I had 5 sites go pr6 (4 from pr0 - 1 from pr2) in the same update. What is your opinion?
