Well, I think the longer it takes for the PR to update, the better it is. This gives you more time to expand your website and have a better chance at a higher PR next update. This is why I don't whine about it
I don't agree! If it is accepted that toolbar PR has a function, then the more up to date and accurate the information is, the more useful. Old, inconsistent, unreliable and out of date information has virtually no value.
I want to increase my conversions not my pr, pr is not going to make me money. I many mean I have a good site, but getting and converting serps is what it's all about.
I agree with tork. Yes, thy should either do it every week or month, or like I said in the first post.
the problem is people who have the toolbar and come to your site and see PR0 they quickly close your page, i would love to have an update every week.
Well I'm only a noob at this but about 3 months ago I started up two blogs while both where PR0 they had built up to about 100 uniques a day each from SEs. They then both got PR3 just about every page went supplemental and for about the last month I'm lucky to get 3 or 4 uniques a day from Google. So if my site was good enough to go from PR0 to PR3 why drop all my pages... doesn't make sense to me. I keep plugging away and hope with time it will right itself.
I hate waiting for PRs to change, lol. It drives you nuts sometimes, especially when you launched a new site after the PR update!
Maybe your blogs are sandboxed. The initial traffic you were getting could be from other search engines like Yahoo and MSN. Have you worked on getting links for your blogs?
i don't think PR does something in your site... people visit your site not because of the PR but because of its content. and besides, 90% of your visitors doesn't know what PR is (not unless your running a site that caters webmasters and SEOs) to cut it short, i don't care about PRs and its updates
they should be every month. I'd rather have a pr6 site then a 0 pr site. ask yourself what youd rather have and if you say pr6 then you care
I would love to have a PR 10 site but, it is not going to happen. Google is broken and they are trying to fix it.
Regardless of the perceived or actual benefit of Page Rank, it would certainly be better if a certain timetable were agreed, be with monthly, quarterly or even biannually.
You are so right JackR. It would be nice if Google was consistant and had a timeline and stuck to it.
The biggest problem - clearly overlooked by Google - is that a whole cottage industry has sprung up based on the value of Page Rank. Whether or not you value or choose to disregard PR, it's here to stay. Unless that is, Google decides to return all sites to a PR '0' ...
