Google PR Update: Here We Go Again!
Keep in mind there is nothing confirmed, but several people started to notice changes both in PageRank and backlinks count numbers.
One of my sites apparently gained PR as well. DailyBits went from a PR2 to a PR4.
I tried to check on Google’s data centers but most of them are behaving strangely (reporting a PR0 even for established websites). One tool that appears to be working is this one.
No one was expecting such an early PageRank update in 2008. The last one, as you probably can remember, happened late in October and it created a lot of buzz due to a new policy that Google decided to adopt towards websites that were selling text links without the nofollow tag.
Have you noticed any changes?

No changes yet.
It appears that most sites will just retain the same PR though. That is the trend I am seeing.
Hi,
I tried the tool you have provided but my new site less than a month, unable to see changes now.
My site Litemind went from PR5 to PR6…
still the same… on all my webs…
hold on just checking my PR now! Nah still PR0
yes, PR start update
My blog is the same
3 to 4 here. I’ve heard PR may fluctuate over the next few days… true? Not true?
Nothing on this end.
I got PR 3 from PR 0. Nice.
PR5 to PR4. Oh well, no big deal.
PR was updated this morning
* 2 of my sites went from PR0 to PR3
* 2 from PR0 to PR2
* 1 stayed the same PR4
So my conclusion is that it affected mainly new sites
I got from PR3 to 4 and several of my pages also got PR4. I guess it’s starting.
Hi hope it will come soon,but now no change
The PR for my blog front page stayed at 5, but my site homepage went from 4 to 2. No idea why.
I was shocked today when I saw that one of my blogs was dropped from a PR 3 down to two. I thought we’d at least get a few months break before this all started again.
The site with the change is around four months old, I guess we’ll have to wait and see what they’re doing this time around.
one site PR3 to PR4
new site 0 to 3
many stayed same
one went down from PR2 to PR1
What does PR mean again?
i have lots of changes in PR on almost all sites (some down, some up) but no changes in the SERPs … yet…
I used digpagerank.com but it seems there hasn’t any changes with my blogs PR. The PR 2 still got the same number, and the PR 0 hasn’t crack the egg yet.
I tried to switch to your livepr.ezr.com, but the server seemed respond quite long
Got yr link through 45n5. Yeap, Google gave me a fright last night because my PR4/10 got unranked. And the green juice returned when I woke up. A few of my new blogs gained PR 1 and PR 2 as well.
Went from pr 3 to pr 4 here.
Wow, my not even a month blog got Pagerank 2. Man, my theme release atlast got me some success
!
No changes yet, unfortunately.
I noticed an increase in PageRank on Thursday evening for some of my internal pages and made a post about it.
Overall, there were just a few changes for me but I did have a new blog go from 0 to 3 which was quite surprising.
Cool. I went from a 1 to a 4 on Succes For Your Blog
Yes, it’s definitely happening. My blog is just 2 months old and today it’s showing a PR of 1. So I am #1 now! LOL
Looks like there was a small bump on Quebec Wines but no change on Find Mapping.
Not clear whether the change has anything to do with Google though.
from 3 t0 4 in my website http://www.bligter.com
Good luck to everyone!
Mine has changed from PR1 to a 4, which is good news.

Yep. My blog has no PR now…
Zero, Nada, Gurnisht.
i went from a p2 to p3… woohoo
I saw a PR jump from 4 to 5 but strangely one of the datacenter is showing PR as 7, unsure whether there will be another jump for me
2 to 1 … grmpf
I noticed changes in my backlinks count as reported by Google’s Webmaster Tools. They seemed to be decreasing. As of today I cannot access the tools, nor the AdSense account. They are facing technical difficulties.
I’m looking forward to access my account again and see and see what has changed.
jap..notice the changes.. probably those changes are for good..because no one wantts Pagerank 0 , and i ll try to improve that:)
Went from 2 to 0. Not happy and I hope it changes soon.
You are so lucky - most people I’ve spoken to so far have seen their PR drop. My PR on my blog went from a 3 to a 2.
Yeah!
My site moved from PR 3 to PR 4
One of my sites that was a PR0 due to the paid links kickback has gone back up to a PR3. It was once a PR5, but still nice to know my email to Google was recognised. One of the sites that I haven’t contacted Google about has stayed at PR0.
Don’t care about PR anymore, but still nice to know that I’m not on Google’s naughty list.
JoeTech.com had somehow gone from PR5 to PR0 in the October update. This time around, I’m back to PR3, which is better than nothing, I suppose. LinkBaitMe.com jumped from PR2 to PR3.
No change (PR 3) in the Google toolbar, but the data centers tool showed PR 0 for three IPs before it timed out. Strange days…
Nothing on this end
Got a PR2 for a brand new site shop fitness and added a pr onto a couple of others.
I dont see much changes, but my new blog went to pr3 hehe
I don’t think so… i haven’t find such changes yet…. however let’s hope it changes and raised by 1 or 2
My site Skills Portal went from PR5 to PR4. It really ruined my weekend!!
Still no changes on 7 of my websites, very weird.
One 3 month old site went from PR 0 to 3.
One blog 2 years old went from PR 5 to 3.
The rest remained the same.
Most internal pages from http://www.gehspace.com/ changed from PR 2 to PR3. The home-page PR has not changed, stayed with 3, while my campanha.htm page leaped from 2 to 4. It is a 3 y.o. website with more than 12000 backlinks.
My 1 year-old blog, http://meusitenaprimeirapagina.....gspot.com/ leaped from PR2 to PR4.
The blog I’ve started on December 24th last year, http://seonoticiaseartigos.blogspot.com/ has jumped from PR n/a to PR5! What amazes me is the outstanding traffic number I earned since this incredible PR value: it stayed steady on 12 unique visits per day!!!
Does PR still really mean anything?
I’m still a zero on an established site but am heavily indexed. When I update, it gets in there in 20 minutes. It’s weird.
Well, we can all but try and I definitely will for the next new update. When it was happening I was checking a few of my sites on the datacenter and all were showing up with zero. Then, like you I went and checked a few other established blogs and sites and they too were showing up as zero. Wondering if google were purposely blocking the datacenters revealing pr.
I have just added new tool to check all Google DataCenters for Page Rank.
When will Google finish 2008 January PR update?
Gawd, mine had gone to N/A too, I hate the fact that they have to reduce our PR’s just because we monetize our blogs. What’s the catch anyway? They do the same thing, too I guess on their ‘other’ websites perhaps. Damnn, it makes me go all crazy. –,
Mine 3 websites/blogs went from PR3 to PR0
I was writing few paid articles on them. Cud that be the reason ? I didnt have “paid post” or “sponsored post” written.
I got a big fat 0

No update here …. to bad, I hope I will finally get my PR6
I have definately seen some page rank changes in the past 30 days. Going back and forth with no apparent reasoning for my mains site. Nothing to make your heart pound a little harder to wonder where you are going to place for that day. But as of current I have slid a little but appear to be moving quite well for my main index site.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention

My backlinks shown by Google using link:domain.com has definitely gone up, its now shoing 287, whereas last week it only showed 214. Another site I started the week after the last PR update also has around 90 links in Google. So a link: update has definitely been released. No doubt about it. I haven’t seen any PR changes, though.
My backlink for lazymovie has definitely gone down. what’s up with google? My PR also went down from 5 to 4.. Really not that big of a deal but its just kindda disappointing in my part… hmmm…
my PR decreased to 3 from 4
I just got PR 2 back. Before they dropped me from PR 4 to PR 2 and then PR 0.
Why is google reading meta description? Google is using the meta description the same way as yahoo does… What’s up with that?!
ok
I am newbie to blogging. This is one of the best sites I have seen about making money. I still learning about making money using blogger.
Thank you for your good information.
My website is showing PR 3 in the google directory.
Previously it was PR 1.
Recreation: Aviation: Resources: Aviation Earth
when will PR update finished?
Lost PR. I think article directories lost the PR value they send on.
When is the next PR update? My site http://www.escortprofielen.nl sticks to PR 1 for a long time:(
Yes, I also would like to know about the next PR update. When can we expect that? My site needs a big boost and I might have a chance now.
few months back it was a good PR3 and now PR0. what happened?
really annoying.
strangely, my domain is PR0 but my blogspot.com remains PR3. can anyone help?
does anyone know when the stupid PR update is supposed to happen ? thanks
I’m still a zero on an established site but am heavily indexed. When I update, it gets in there in 20 minutes. It’s weird.
ist amazing thank you very much.
Upfuse.com just got pagerank 3 from 0.
From t he rumors going on, there was an update in late July this year, has anyone verified this? What about next update, anyone know when that may be?
yes you are right there was an update in late july,but i think it was for some new sites only,becoz searched a lot and cant find anything about july update.May be no one has noticed,but i have seen it,a pr 0 site goes to pr 2.
i also notice the google PR Update. my blog went from PR0 to PR1
My website went up to PR 4. Cool!
My PR droping from PR3 to zero after i change domain. It was 2 months i try working hard to get at list PR1, but it still don’t work

Google move everyday.
Having a PR of 3 within 5 months, Its all about who linked to you.

Google PR Update: Here We Go Again! & Again
Google are saying don’t pay for back-links and they ask you to report if you know of any site that do. I think I will report every one at yahoo directory as most part with big bucks for that same reason. They make up the rules as they go along. Idiots!
I noticed that Google update my site’s webartsense.com got pr4.
Still no change on most of my sites…
Idem
i am really waiting for pr updation, i hope my website will get high this time.. konteyner
google often update pr 3 months or 4 months. but search engine ranking updates daily basis.
Looks like Google did a PR update today. I now have a measly PR of 1. My site is only 1 month old so I can’t complain I guess. Promoting like a mad dog, trying to not pay too much attention to PR but it’s hard!
I got PR 2 from PR 3.
Today i’ve received two new updates - from PR0 ->>PR2 and PR1–>>PR2. Thanks Google !
I was shocked today when I saw that one of my blogs was dropped from a PR 3 down to two. I thought we’d at least get a few months break before this all started again.
I am really happy today!
I got pr 2 in my new blog. It is just 2 months old!
