Google PageRank Update in Progress

It looks like Google is rolling out a PageRank update. I woke up this morning and some of my sites were getting a new PR. Online Profits, for example, went from PR1 to PR3.

Are you guys seeing the changes too? Let me know how your PR fluctuated.

It looks like Google is getting a regular schedule for the PageRank updated again though. The last one happened in the second week of January, so that is more or less one PR update every three months or so. It would be good if they kept that pace constant.

Let’s see if in the middle of July we will get another update.

  11. e business corporate on April 2nd, 2009 10:18 am

    I went from PR 0 to PR 3… And it was in just 21 days of my blog launch. Wow

  12. anraiki on April 2nd, 2009 10:20 am

    dotSpiral keep going up and down from pr1 to pr2 to pr1 then back to pr2.

    I don’t care much but it gives me a stronger portfolio in marketing skills.

  13. Roseli A. Bakar on April 2nd, 2009 10:23 am

    Nothing yet on my side :(

  14. FestivalPlanet on April 2nd, 2009 10:23 am

    Thanks to all your advice i have been working on my site since the last update. It paid off! Festivalplanet.com has just gone from PR1 to PR3!

  15. Beads on April 2nd, 2009 10:30 am

    Our Beads and Crafts site has gone from PR1 to PR2 – and a couple of ’sub’ pages have picked up PR1 at the same time – nice stuff!

    No change on some others, yet, though..

  16. Web Design on April 2nd, 2009 10:32 am

    Yay :) MultiLayer Design from PR1 to PR2 and other main sub pages increased.
    Nothing for the blog yet, although the whole site is fairly new.

    The links are somewhat rogue though on many levels, wish those were sorted out too.

    Thanks for the heads up :)

  17. John on April 2nd, 2009 11:23 am

    How do you find your Page Rank (PR)?

  18. topcool on April 2nd, 2009 11:34 am

  19. Chung Bey Luen on April 2nd, 2009 11:35 am

  20. AbdulBasit Makrani on April 2nd, 2009 11:42 am

    All my sites remained PR0 :(

  21. Rick Regan on April 2nd, 2009 12:00 pm

    My home page went from PR2 to PR3, which is in line with my expectations.

  22. Krishna on April 2nd, 2009 12:12 pm

    One of my site PR is dropped :)

  23. Lee on April 2nd, 2009 12:35 pm

  26. Mr. I on April 2nd, 2009 12:57 pm

    No change yet for me. Looks like its a lengthy process.

  27. Ramses on April 2nd, 2009 1:06 pm

    Since today I’m seeing my website one time with PR4 and then again with PR3. Weird stuff…

  28. Rarst on April 2nd, 2009 1:23 pm

    Up to 4 from 3. Hadn’t quite expected that, linking was slow in recent months and thought it would get longer than previous jumps.

  29. Jobs in India on April 2nd, 2009 1:35 pm

    My website home page went from PR3 to PR2 and forum home dwon to 1 from 2. Not what I was expecting. :(

  30. GlobalOttawa on April 2nd, 2009 2:02 pm

    Very happy of course!

  32. Andrew M. on April 2nd, 2009 3:32 pm

    Yup what a nice April Fools present from google. My sites increased dramatically.

  33. Rick Rottman on April 2nd, 2009 3:45 pm

    Is there a way of checking out what a site’s page rank was historically? I don’t remember what it used to be.

  34. Todd - Home Construction Improvement on April 2nd, 2009 4:59 pm

    My less used site went from 2 to 3….and my main site stayed at 2…maybe they haven’t updated all of them yet.

  35. Ria on April 2nd, 2009 5:19 pm

    My blog is at a pr5 right now. I think it’s because I participate in so many forums.

  36. Hkee on April 2nd, 2009 5:39 pm

    Mine has gone from 0 to 4. This is no joke. I was very surprised yesterday.

  37. HCA_Recruiter on April 2nd, 2009 5:47 pm

    No PR rank for my site yet, I’ll have to check it again in a few months!

  38. Richard on April 2nd, 2009 6:12 pm

    My blog went from 0 to PR2. I expacted a PR3 but a PR2 is better than nothing :)

  39. Andreas Nurbo on April 2nd, 2009 6:38 pm

    My sites never changed PR but a friends jumped a wooping 4 points from PR0 to PR4

  40. Mr. I on April 2nd, 2009 10:20 pm

    Mine went from a 4 to a zero as of January first! Ive been fixing anything I can think of to get my rank back, but nothing.
    I’m hearing everyone getting better ranks as of to date and I’m still left out!
    I am so not happy about this as I put in long hours and effort. pout.

  61. Nikhil on April 3rd, 2009 12:58 pm

  62. CFD on April 3rd, 2009 3:02 pm

    Buggery, havent moved an inch on the Home page! Or blog main page.

    Both stuck at 3.

    Made alot of moves and was hoping to see some benefits.

    Alot of sub pages seem to of moved around though, some gaining some dropping, but only from 0-2. Bah. Guess its another 3 months wait!

  63. Luci Weston on April 3rd, 2009 7:24 pm

    Went from a PR1 to a PR3 at Here We Are With Luci dot com! That’s at least moving in the right direction.

  64. Jacob Yap on April 3rd, 2009 7:44 pm

  68. Ara on April 5th, 2009 4:03 am

    My blog age is 30 days n gained PR 4. I mean, my blog PR increase 4 points in 30 days.

    Is there something wrong with that?! Anyone can explaine to me?

  69. Ajith Edassery on April 5th, 2009 6:15 am

    I suffered big time when it comes to my internal page ranks. I had a number of internal pages having PR2 and PR1, one PR3 and several PR0 pages. Now the count is less than half of what it was.

    The homepage PR is not changed though I was expecting an upgrade :)

  70. Patrick on April 5th, 2009 4:23 pm

    PR1 to PR4 :D

  71. Stefano on April 5th, 2009 7:17 pm

    Down to 4 from 0 :(

  72. PR1 to PR3 on April 6th, 2009 12:41 pm

    I have a site that I had such a turnover of PR

  73. ZK@WebTrafficROI.com on April 6th, 2009 3:00 pm

    I think this was down PR update for this time also. My all websites had down … For my friends also this PR came with the lower PR.

    Lets see what will come in the next PR updates.

  74. Matt on April 7th, 2009 7:24 pm

    My PR update has gone from PR0 to PR1. But my other two site have not changed.

  75. Boerne Search on April 9th, 2009 1:56 pm

    I pray that the next pr update is soon and really nice to me. No change this time. But I guess it’s better then going backwards.

  76. Adi on April 10th, 2009 3:20 am

    I just given PR2 in the last update
    But now when I check it on some PR checker site it shows 0
    Anybody knows what’s going on??

  77. Ruchi on April 10th, 2009 5:55 am

    mine went from unranked to PR 1 a great achievement for me, as i started my blog only 2 months ago. :)

  78. Tim on April 12th, 2009 8:17 pm

    Great job to run the debate on this one.

    We feel it’s part of ongoing development in the Google algorithms, having heard the issue raised on various (blog and non-blog) sites.

    Interesting, actually, as we reminded people about PageRank in our latest post at: http://clubblogger.com/link-juice-and-pagerank/ , touching on the topic of in-bound links being “bad” – i.e., whilst some think all in-bound links are beneficial, and indeed that used to be the case, Google is refining this closely. It seems that there is increasingly ‘penalization’ of in-bound links which are “off-topic” (from pages which are unrelated to the linked page, according to the ‘bots) or from an otherwise penalized sites.

    This is more important than ever where on-site SEO is increasingly over-shadowed by off-site (i.e., in-bound links, particularly) SEO.

    Gone are the days of ‘any link’s a good link’!!

    All the best – will keep a close eye on this.

  79. PD on May 10th, 2009 12:53 pm

    awww… my site still sucks at this page rank thing. Hope I could get a higher page rank someday

  80. yustiawan on May 20th, 2009 6:35 pm

    How many times Google ill update page rank every year..??

  81. sem services on May 27th, 2009 10:54 am

    now Google is updating pr after every three months. We are also hoping that the next pr will be update between 20th to 30th July.

  82. sem services on May 28th, 2009 4:20 am

    today Google has updated PR for my website. http://www.sem-infotech.com. Now It’s 1 to 2. Please do comment if your PR also updated.

  83. iLinda Web Directory on May 28th, 2009 5:10 am

    Yes, it seems google PR updated again today.

  84. ray on May 28th, 2009 2:07 pm

    All my sites went up in PR today.

    From PR1 to PR2
    from PR2 to PR5
    from PR0 to PR4
    and my ezinarticles went from PR2 to PR 6 !!!!

    Last update April 2, 2009
    Lastest update May 28, 2009 – today!

    time lapse – 8 weeks

    Let see if the next one is in 8 weeks or sooner

    But seriously folks, you should be more concerned with where does your site rank in the SERPS, not PR

  85. cell phone news on June 5th, 2009 12:07 pm

    me too my blog jump from PR0 to PR3, that’s cool.

  86. Bui Hoai Nam on June 12th, 2009 6:10 pm

    How can I know when Google will start to update PR???

  87. sterndal on September 1st, 2009 9:53 pm

    i hope to get a higher PR next update :)

  88. Mihai Banica on September 3rd, 2009 6:17 pm

    I heard that in September it will be the next update for the Page Rank. Is it true?

  89. sem services on September 5th, 2009 10:30 am

    I think pr will be updated on sept.

  90. ravi on September 21st, 2009 3:49 pm

    now Google is updating pr after every three months.

  91. Mike on September 24th, 2009 8:45 am

    Yes but this time, Google is updating after an interval of three months. It is assumed that next pr update will occur in last week of September…..

  92. Derf on October 9th, 2009 6:56 am

    Still at pagerank 0 after 90 or so days.

    This so-called pagerank adjustment certainly hasn’t happened yet, even though a few keywords/phrases are returning high places in search results, as well as organic backlinks are being created daily.

    What gives?
    .

  93. Sem Services on October 30th, 2009 7:10 am

    Today google has updated PR.
    http://www.sem-infotech.com- 2 to 3 PR.

  94. Porn Tube Webmaster on January 1st, 2010 3:54 am

    12-31-09 my website finally went from a PR0 to a PR1, site has been live since first part of November, hope this keeps up :)

  95. Mihai Banica on January 3rd, 2010 2:29 pm

    My site has started in summer 2008, in October it got a PageRank 5 and in December it went to PageRank 4.

  96. Matt on February 2nd, 2010 7:38 pm

    My PR has moved from 0 to 1 in the last 2 weeks.

Got something to say?
