Google directory update?!

new site listed finally, anyone else notice?

[amznVibe]

Is it just me or does it appear that the Google directory has been updated?

I have a new-ish site that had been in DMOZ for a couple months suddenly appear in the directory (with newly calculated PageRank as well).

Did this just happen or did I miss a previous post?

Update for one of my sites.

The Google directory does not seem to make much sense now in many respects. The PR it is showing (it whatever scale it uses) does not follow previous patterns. A site at the top of one category is showing a 22 (PR5) and the site itself is showing PR5, but several sites below it are PR6s.

(Standard disclaimer: It seems that a post like this seems to attract the "PR-don't-matter" crowd. I am aware of issues like SERPS not relying on PR, that PR doesn't determine traffic etc)

I see no update.

Macro, did you accidentally click the "View in alphabetical order" link?

[Macro]

I didn't know about the alphabetical order option! So I rushed over to see if that was the case and if I was being stupid. But, no, in the alphabetical listing you can't see the green.

So I didn't have the sites arranged in alphabetical order and still found the discrepancy. It appears that my cats aren't the only ones experiencing this.

amznVibe, when do you think this happened? (You do know about the update that happened about a month ago? Do you believe there's been another one?)

I am not seeing an update in the listings I follow.

amznVibe,
If this newly listed site is sanbo....er.. I mean 'experiencing the Google lag', let us know if gets out soon or has already.

Macro,

one thing you need to be aware of is that the toolbar PR (tPR) for web pages is a number between 0 and 10, the directory PR (dPR) on the other hand between 0 and 7. Thus, a dPR of 5 normally equates to a tPR of about 6 or even 7.

However, you are correct. The dPR and the tPR both seem to be way out of whack, i.e. totally unrelated to dbPR (Google database PR). I think that is the true reason you see such anomalies.

If the database PR (dbPR) used in the SERPs would be immediately available for both tPR and dPR, that would be nice - but open doors for spammers. That's in my opinion the reason for sometimes huge time delays in updating non-dbPRs....

Huh?
