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?

  1. Heey! Pr update today! 🙂
    As for links, I sell them on one blog, which was pr2, and still pr2, so if you sell links moderately, it will not influence noticeably

  2. I was just searching some tools for predected page rank but it was very discouraging.
    You may seen there are some tools available to check the pr.
    These tools are basically set to measure only a few variables while as google measures are several times sophisticated. NO tool can tell you exact prediction even there are some websites tools which show very high or very low results.One you mentioned is showing pr10 is just set to display that while some of them are set to display zero. If you want to see reliability of the tool just check their own site for pr or some known site and you will see how the trend is set by so called tool masters.(say I have given subject for article on the issue)

  4. Google does not update pageranks like before every 3 months considering the last update was 4 months ago,now generally updates individual sites, to be honest no one knows whats going on with pagerank update anymore

  6. 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.

  7. 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!

  8. 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!

  18. Why is google reading meta description? Google is using the meta description the same way as yahoo does… What’s up with that?!

  19. 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…

  20. 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.

  21. 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.

  22. 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. –,

  23. 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.
