    Any thoughts on why this page achieved a PR of 5? I was about to practically give it away when I noticed the PR. No links and really no reason for a 5.

    In this update (as far as I can see) only new websites/pages (the ones that didn't had PR before, or who got pr on the same fake/unusual 04/04 PR update) got PR.

    This explains to index/internal pages PR discrepancy.

    I was working with a domain that was previously indexed in Google. I had to replace all content so I then decided to start fresh. The mainpage was naturally PR3 right off the back due to the old site, and the links page had the same filename so it held PR2. I added 40+ pages of quality new content, used a sitemap so all pages have been indexed.

    Now after this update, the index is still PR3 and the links page lost all PR.

    I have been linking like crazy, although Google says 2 links. Yahoo says 131, and MSN 141.

    I have also started a brand new website which is only 1.5 months old. It went from PR0 to PR4 on this update. All internal pages are PR3.

    Anyhow, something interesting to think about. Did Google hold my websites overhaul against me?

    That the PR didn't update for old websites doesn't mean it's screwed. Maybe they are evaluating some changes.

    That domain was registered the 27th of February. Maybe it isn't "new enough" to be disregarded as a new domain for Google. Would love to get more feedback on this new update to see what pages have their PR update and which didn't, maybe this way we can establish an approximate date.

    Still, my point is that if we don't understand Google's PR, it doesn't mean it's screwed up.

    I accidentally got a site indexed in Google but it must have missed the update. The content was mostly still 'Lorem ipsum' but there was some content worthy of maybe pr1 or pr2... but all is pr0 so I reckon that it missed the update and it got picked up by Goog shortly after July 4th.

    No, it pre-dates that; I first saw it in September or October of last year. I showed you what happened with my site, Expertu.

    There is more information about this here:

    Just got my PR 6 dropped to PR 3. All white hat except I have not been working on it.

    Do you think the lack of changing the pages would affect the PR of a site?
