The Pagerank (PR) Thread

From pr0 to pr3 for imagehosting.gr which is almost 2 months old

 

hmmm, looks like the site that dropped from 4 to 3 last updates is gonna drop to 2 :/

 

Mine is 21-mar-2007 www.articlebasement.com now PR6

 

I have only notice a slight change of my directory going from a pr5 to a pr 6.

 

Very impressive...

Well done!

Best,

Ana

 

Im still showing mixed results with all my sites. The DCs are all over the place.

 

My one month old web directory starting showing a PR of 3 today scattered across the data centers (obviously it had been 0, previously). At the same time, though, it looks like my blog is dropping down from 5 to 4.

 

I am showing drops too which doesnt make any sense.... especially when I start comparing sites.

 

Yeah, it's kind of random. My forum has a lot more backlinks listed in google now and there aren't any paid links, but it's PR stayed the same.

 

I have noticed too that this update is a bit strange... a few observations on my sites.

1. Unattended sites - PR remains without any additional links that I know of within last 3-4 months
2. Sites that I have not purchased additional paid links on but have gained natural links seemed to have a 1PR drop.


I am confused on how big sites such as DP etc ... would have less PR. I mean it couldnt have dropped that many links during the last 3 months. Also I dont think Shawn purchases any/many paid links - so it shouldnt be a penalty.

If they turned up the requirements equired to achieve high PRs that might be an explanation. But takeing the previous site as an example (excuse me kojakfilth - ) .

Articlebasement has 452 Yahoo backlinks and is at PR 6.
DP Forums is at PR6 with 86K backlinks

Thats a big band for PR6. I realise its about the quality of the backlinks but DP keeps very good company as well i you check the above Yahoo link.

Something I feel is a bit messed up with his update or it isnt finished yet...

Any thoughts?

 

I'm still seeing plenty of scattered results across data centers for my sites, which is usually a good sign that it's not finished yet.

 

I just got this news, last time I was least bother and this time I wont be looking at most of my site's.

 

number of backlinks is not directly related to PR.

I got some 20 K backlinks and got PR 6 now. Last update i got PR 5 for 1 month old blog which is now only 4 months old. I guess Pr 6 for a 4 month old blog is good

 

I am not saying the number of backlinks is directly related to the toolbar PR. Just saying the band for PR6 seems very large when looking at the two sites as a comparison.

If you take a look at some of DPs backlinks ... some are of very high quality.

i.e.

http://searchengineland.com/
http://www.jensense.com/
http://www.shoemoney.com/

 

Number backlinks plus quality of those backlnks does matter.
Just having lots of spammy links might not work for pr6+

 

i agree xenyo...DP loosing a Pr 7 to Pr 6 was the biggest surprise of this update.

I suspect its something to do with DP giving away PR in their signature links. It might be canceling the VOTES

 

That's damn good for a new blog! Good work.

 

I noticed a change today.

I went through my website and found that a lot of them have a PR now.

Look at this list, 43 pages with a PR atleast one.

What does that say about my website?

I can't wait untill my homepages becomes a PR5

 

Cool! I've notices today that my blog which is only 1,5 month old and has only 8 posts (1 post per week) has got pagerank 4! It's amazing, considering that i'm new to this thing. And another website, which is only going to launch already has PR1. Or maybe google toolbar is showing wrong PR? But hope it's not mistaken.

 

There are bigger surprises than DP when it come to PR dropping on this update, Just used DP cos everyone on here is familiar with it.

Also, the forum homepage doesnt have any sig links.

Personally, I am all for Google making it harder to get high PR or turning up damping filters, etc but it just doesnt seem to me that they have done it correctly on this update based on the reports we have.

Anyways, its all fun ...:
