Your first PR?

I was just wondering how you felt when you got your first PR, how much was it, what site was it, how long did it take, and how did you find out. What did it jump to from zero is it possible to get up from PR0 to PR6 in your first update, without cheating or anything special like partners and friends with high PRs.

PS I know it said now that PR is not that important anymore but it's still quite exciting, and really motivating

 

That's because everyone loves your work Shawn and they link to ya. Pretty impressive PR sites linking to ya as well.

 

One if the sites from my signature got a 4 & 5 PR.

The other one isn't ready for a release YET.

 

My first site reached a pr 1 at its first update. In those days I was new to seo and all that stuff. Things have changed a lot since then.

 

When I first understood what is PR and how to check it, I found that my site is PR 4.

 

It tooks me three months to go from PR0 to PR6.
It was sorta quantum jump...

 

My sites have gone up from PR0 to PR5 at max (though I have had my shares of PR2, PR3, and PR4). This PR upgrade happened upon the first PR update post site-creation. I would say that PR3 is pretty much trivial to get PR4 is pretty decent. PR5 is difficult. All this using the pretty standard link building methods.

 

First time I learned of PR my site was already 5 and has stayed there for ever more apart from a brief thrilling hop to 6 where it stayed for about 3 weeks, 3 days, 7 hours and 9 seconds. Not that I pay any attention to PR, of course.

 

nice

but why did it go back dow to 5?

 

Most of my sites jumped from PR0 to PR2 at first update,

One of my site went to PR3 at first update, and another one PR4,

Everything depends on a variety of factors including how competitive your site is?

If it is more competitive, you will need more backlinks...and so will jump only to PR2 most of the times..

Abhilash

 

I think on that particular update Google was generous with a lot of sites and then tweaked it back. There were many like mine that were dropped back down again. It wasn't so long ago. At least I can tell myself that I am probably a high 5

 

when i first found out about PR my site was a PR5 =P

 

My first pagerank update when from a PR0 to a PR4 Now it's PR5 and hopefully a PR6 on the next 1

 

When I first heard of PR it I found out that my site was PR5. Two PR updates later it is still 5. Am eagerly waiting for the next update...hopefully it will go up.

 

my site was PR3 long before 6 months when i come to know what PR is

once i found out then started searching what and how worth it is and now as soon as i reged a name start improving its pr from day one

 

My first site went to a PR 3 at the first pagerank update--thought that was soooooo cool and exciting--now that i found this forum and what i'm learning here hopefully a PR 4 is around the corner.......

 

Oh god! I can't wait till my site finally gets a pagerank! It's been a little over a month so I'm pretty anxious...
