How fast does PR flow through a site?

G's spidering and ranking my site seems... slow.

Hi. I know PR is on a per page basis, but I'm wondering how quickly or slowly google calculates pr through my site. Let me try to clarify.
My site at the moment is pr3 (I know, I know, I should be spending my time making content instead of worrying). Only a few pages that have been linked from the home page have been given pr2. The rest, which are under a month old, have not gotten any pr yet, and only one of the new pages is even showing up on the results.
I realize it's probably just a matter of time, but I was hoping someone could put my mind at ease, as I thought the google toolbar automatically predicts the pr of a page (googlebot crawls every other day or so too).
They're all clean links, with nothing that I know of that would give them a penalty.
So do I have anything to worry about or is it a matter of time? Thanks in advance.

Hi centrifugal, welcome to Webmaster World.

There are two types of google bot. One visits often but only updates the home page cache and the 2nd bot is the deep crawl bot which looks at as much of the site as it can.

The DC bot doesn't come along often (I've only noticed it once in the last 3 months) and that is the one you need to wait for.

The most important thing you can do is make sure the DC bot can access all of your site. You can do this by either making sure all your links are on each page or create a site map and link it on each page so the bot can follow your site easily.

It's always worth downloading a text only browser. I use Opera7 which has a text only option (In view-style-user mode). This is how the bots see your site and in most cases people are in for shock :)

If you can navigate all of your site easily in a text only browser then you stand a much better chance of bots doing the same.

There are many other things that also should be done like different title tags on each page but the general idea for your original question is there.

Simon.
