The Pagerank (PR) Thread

Well, now I don't feel so bad that I wasn't seeing any changes!

 

Just to add a little fuel to the fire my site was pr7 this morning and i have just checked and its dropped to pr 5.

Will post a update tomorrow if it reverts back to pr7?

If not im off to cry .... :-(

 

oh well.. back to normal.. guess it will happend something in a close future

 

It is an update. 1 of my 4 sites has increased PR from 3 to 5. The other 3 are unchanged, but I wasn't expecting any change with those three.

 

You're kidding, right? You didn't realize that meant that the page being searched on was cached on that particular DC...?

It's a layover from when the tool used to be the Furture PR tool. Google zero'd out that field, but I noticed that if the page wasn't cached on that DC then the field just didn't exist... if it returned 0 then there was a cached copy. I wrote the webmaster and he incorporated it into the tool.

I see quite a few people say PR doesn't matter anymore.
This thread says otherwise.

So...

The next time someone says that pagerank doesn't matter, throw up a link to this thread.


And, FWIW, I never saw any movement on any of my sites.

 

pr doesn't matter like people think it does.

people unfortunately just dont know better.

it matters to one person IMO. the link seller.

 

Buyers are willing to pay more for higher PR links. The law of supply and demand.
So, it would appear that PR matters to link buyers as well as link sellers.

 

PR matters

The more links you have from pages with both relevance and PR the higher your site will rank in SERP's

Not to mention having PR means you can make a buck or two selling some links

 

Precisely.


...And the number of bucks you can make just happens to rise with PR.

 

no changes here!

 

Yep - looks like things are back to normal.

Using a link: command on 216.239.51.44 earlier yielded 2,643 backlinks for a new site, and now it's back to 0 links.

 

PR on my toolbar isn't working for any website, so something if deffinately happening here....

 

Wheew! This thread almost gave me a heart attack! Anyway, This proves that PR is still important for a lot of people here in DP.

BTW, Congratulations to Saad for reaching 3,000 posts!

 

Everything went back again , I saw my site was PR4 but now back to PR3 , we'll wait.

 

everything has gone. im waiting new values.

 

My sites are all over the map! I've got a PR6 page showing PR6,5, and 0! Other pages seem to be inconsistant when checking across datacenters. Something is happening for sure.

 

Again? Ahhhhhhhhh!

 

no updates yet, stop with all these exciting threads lol.

 

I was happy to see all 8 of my sites increased their PR (the old as well as the new sites).
