PageRank not gone up since a month

getting worried

[sidyadav]

I have many sites, directories (ie. Yahoo)etc that are linking to me, they are updated in Google but the linkbacks aren't, I was just getting a bit worried that my PR hasn't gone up since a month! When all the sites that are linking to me are updated but still PR is 0 :(

Is PR a big factor in Google's algo? Am I getting a bit too worried about this?

1 Month is nothing. Just be patient.
PR is updated about every 3 weeks (backlinks around the same time).

More important are your rankings.
Do you get listed?

PR is important, but not as important as in the past.
If I had to say a number I'd say 25% ;)
More important (at the moment) is linktext, but that has been discussed often enough :)

Nah, it has been a looong one this time..

I've been watching thousands of my pages going in and out of the results, but nothing like PR has moved..

My Pages get updated everytime Google updates, so thats good, but PR hasn't been updated since a month.

Googlebot visits my site almost everyday, I'd hate to lose that ;)

Does the excellent Brett tutorial (linked above) apply to sites selling products too?

I'm referring specifically to the advice about creating lots of content pages.

My product site only lists a small handful (up to 20) products due to their individual value. Should I still be looking to add hundreds of pages worth of quality content even for a simple sales site?

What if you are the shepherd of tens or hundreds of sites?
