I have noticed something over the last few years with the Google PR update. The toolbar update for those that want to be picky, not the PR update that goes on continually behind the scenes. I have noticed that when the update is occurring there are many people that notice change in toolbar PR. there are also many that do not and who expect to, and therefore do not believe the ones that have experienced it. I believe that Google update toolbar Pr via country. Various countries get updated before the rest according to where you are hosted. As the PR toolbar is being updated at the moment, I am interested in knowing when it happens to certain people and where they are hosted. I have many site in Australia which have not been updated as yet. So I belive that Australian hosted sites have not been updated as yet. Is there anyone in Australia that has seen an update? Next question is to those that have experienced the update: where are your sites hosted. I would be very interested in knowing where it has occurred and if my Theory is true. It may be very helpful for those that want their Pr toolbar update to be first.
Interesting theory, and definitely the first time I've ever heard it put forth. It will be interesting to see if it's true.
When you find out if google updates by country post results. Which one first and list in order they are done.
actually i have an .eu domain which dropped pr3 to pr2 (hosted in the uk) (dont wanna post the url) i have other sites hosted in the uk on different hosts and nothing could it be by TLD and hosting?
^^ discover, what country is that domain hosted in? (i.e. where does the Web host you are using physically locate its servers?)
hmm very interesting. last couple of update we canadian got at the end. so may be it update one by one country, lol not sure arggg me going crazy!
interesting,but i had a site on the same server as my other 35 sites go from pr0 to pr2..none of my other sites have changed at all,all are on same IP and on same server
are you expecting a PR update on the others? Keep us informed as to whether they do update. Also, is it older/ younger than the others or more or less the same? I am trying to revise my theory.
The loading of PR toolbar is done by datacentre, but the sites that are updated seem to be done by another process altogether, as datacentres are rotated continually.
I have my site hosted in u.S.A,but the domain is in China,the pr still not update yet.i hope g update up bu countries,and the update will come at the end.
I noticed that none have updated from Aus, Canada, or US. The only ones that we know of so far are in the EU. Does anyone want to expand on that/contradict it with evidence to the contrary? Have any other European countries been updated?
