    Good points NetMidWest ... I must have given you green rep earlier, so I can't give some deserved stuff to you for that one.

    Perhaps they installed "Dance Dance Revolution" at the Googleplex? :D

    Finally seeing some toolbar changes. My new sites are seeing mostly pr4 on the home pages. That's great for the first update.

    However, my established sites are staying pr3 to pr4 or even dropping a notch or two where they should be at least pr5 with the links they have. The new sites pr is coming from the established sites, so I don't know how the new sites could possibly be getting pr4 without the established sites being ranked higher.

    Wacky. The new sites are all ranking high while the established sites are staying the same or dropping. I hope this isn't the real deal.

    BTW: Every one of the pagerank prediction tools is w-a-y off. I won't be using these bogus tools again.

    It's so odd, some of alivedirectory.com categories has PR5, higher than the homepage's PR4. :confused:

    Attention everyone! I have heard from (**) reliable sources that Google is facing a peculiar problem. After this latest update in algorithm they found the google site showing pr9 as compared to yahoo/msn which were showing pr10. So, off they went again, experimenting, varying various variables. The latest news is they have managed to give pr10 to google.com but they will keep adjusting till yahoo and msn are pr9 or lower.

    Attention Everyone! I have heard from reliable sources that Google engineers are playing a practical joke on SEO engineers. It only actually takes a couple of minutes to update the new page rank across all data centers...

    They just like the idea of a whole lot of SEO engineers out there squirming so every few months they program it to go crazy for a week.:D

    The paranoia of PR is setting in!

    It's up. it's down, it's gone!

    Wait a few weeks, and you'll know for sure where it's at, not that it will make one iota of difference to your positioning in the SERP's, as that's already been taken into account.

    It is not unusual. Google ranks pages not websites ;)

    The only time it is not unusual is when you are building deep links or focusing PR via internal link structure.
    In my case, I have always linked to the home page, as do most. The high PR page had only 3 internals, there was no way to account for the PR 6. (You can probably still see it, http://www.netmidwest.com/cat10-2.html) Occasionally a page may end up in a post on a forum, or gain a spontaneous link, but generally this is not normal nor usual.

    In this case, the homepage of alivedirectory.com is way much better linked than it's categories. :confused: that's what's strange.

    There is surely a lot of oddness going on with this update. I personally think they have found an error and trying to fix it that is why quite a few of the Google servers are reporting 0 PR when others are not. Best advice was given earlier do not panic we will see the true outcome in a week.

    If we have any nails left :D
