I see that the offical PR update thread has been slammed with a people making side comments that add little to no value about the Google's recent PR update. I would like to make a validate observation that would most likely get lost in the flood of posts in this thread, so I decided to start my own. People have mention that the 'Jagger update' which happen before the PR update may have injected the google local into google search. As i take a look at my site my homepage's PR did not rise 3 => 3, but two of my internal pages did. These pages are indexed by local.google because they contain address and contact information for nightclubs and dance studios. 0 => 3 (wow, matches the PR my homepage!) 1 => 2 All other internal pages range from 1 to 2. Someone may have already pointed this out, but I am way to lazy to read 100+ post about how my PR went from 0 => 5. All I have to say about that is great for you, you SEO guru.
