How fast does Google update it's PR for new pages?

New page added, 6 weeks no update for PR

Changed a few page names over 6 weeks back. Whilst these new URL's are being picked up for SERPS, the page still has no G PR!

The site has a PR of 5, and is effectively structured including an index page.

If you have a feel for how long it takes for new/changed pages to get a PR, then please let me know. I'm presently holding off contacting sites for reciprocol links due to one of the links pages having no PR.

There are numerous factors that can affect the PR value shown - instead of waiting, aggressively continue your link building campaigns, the PR will come in time.

Thx for replying.

Am wondering what point there is in emailing prospective link partners. When they see that the link pages have no PR they may laugh me off instead of exchanging a link.

No one can guess what your future PR potential is - stop second guessing other people - you're defeating yourself before you've even started.

Calum, I suspect we're due for an update. I launched a new site in early Jan and am still waiting for PR to update. Before, I haven't had to wait longer than 4-6 weeks which makes me think it's coming soon. :)

Calum, I've also noticed that my new pages still have not been updated. It seems the process is taking a bit longer than it has in the past. Not a big deal though, some of these pages are ranking fairly well in the SERPs.

Just wait it out a bit longer, they'll be updated soon hopefully.

Can you help?

We've also launched a new website recently that despite having hundreds of inbound links is still showing the dreaded PR0 in the toolbar.

One thing that is worry me is that we have asked our techy suppliers to forward other domains we have onto our main webspace. We don't have duplicate versions of our website (i.e. there is only one set of files and one piece of web space) but if people type in the other mistyped versions of our domain they end up at our own .com website. Could Google be penalising us for this? The reason I ask is that we have PR0 and Google has the other alternatively spelled domain names in its index so may view them as multiple copies of the site?

Magnet4web - Welcome to WW :)

I have never had problems with Domain Pointing. (However they should not really get indexed - as soon as you type the incorrect domain name does the address bar change it to the correct domain name? - and also how many pages are listed under the incorrect domain name?)

If your site is in google with a site:www.domain.com check and they are turning up reasonably in the SERPS then dont worry about the toolbar being a PR0 to much.

I have PR0 from a month or so ago.

PR update is probably due soonish. (Maybe, possibly?!?)

Hi,

Thanks for your advice.

The .com variant-spelling domains do change to our main one in the browser bar. However, the .co.uk equivalents remain there (but a site check on Google shows these aren't indexed anyway).

A check on Google for the other domains (the .coms) shows that it has just indexed the homepage in each case.

It would appear then, that we're probably not being penalised in any way for this and it may just be a matter of time until the PR updates..

Cheers.

Hi folks,

Just an update for you. It looks like our patience paid off.

As off today our homepage has a PageRank of 7 - and all this after just 3 months of being live. Obviously we are very happy and it just goes to show all our efforts have been worthwhile.

Cheers,

Mike Cheney
