PR update started - Part I

a couple of DCs showing PR update

[selomelo]

My newly registered site shows PR in a couple of DCs.
For example,

216.239.53.104
216.239.53.99
while in some others I see a rollback.

I don't think its fair to say that PR updates are uninteresting even if it is the last thing to be updated, and has no effect on serps.

It gives feedback to the site owner, telling them that their hard work is being appreciated and recognised, or shows them where they need to work harder. Serps are less reliable in some respects, being more variable and related to factors we cannot control, such as the efforts made by competitors and changing algorythms.

We have one site going 5 to 6 and another going 6 to 5. I understand both of these - to me they make sense. So I'm glad when the PR update shows to confirm my beliefs in how to build strong sites. Also it helps you feel you're not entirely forgotten by Google.

Lastly thanks to all those who posted about it here - without you I wouldn't have known it was coming.

What's Big Daddy?

The strange thing is that some of my websites show on some datacentres a pagerank of 0 and on some other and 5.

While another site came from 6, has on some 0 and on some 5..

Whats going on?!

>>>>What's Big Daddy?

He he :)

Ok Sorry - lets talk about the PR update in hand - I see it hitting the following DCs on and off:-

66.102.11.99 & 104
216.239.57.99 & 104
216.239.53.99 & 104

FWIW.

:-( searched all the updated DC's using Hanu's tool, feeling bad that this update has no good news for my home page

[trinorthlighting]

I have a new website that went up in December and it is showing a PR change as well. I would say things are updating

[colin_h]

"Yeah, its been said before but for some reason we have a glut of first timers or people who want to think something is odd for some reason."

What's a home page? You should leave those first timers alone ... they probably respect what you have to say ;-)

[CainIV]

Yes, this PR update is showing more homepage canonical problems.
EG, Split PR between the non-www and www and different BL counts.

Roll on Big Daddy

Is this what you see on the sites you monitor Dayo?

Has there been any progress whatsoever for you and canon issues on the sites you monitor?

Some Progress on the BD dcs - this PR update has nothing to do with Big Daddy or the Big Daddy infastructure though by the looks of it.

Sorry Colin - I know some people are getting fed up of talking about BD - probably because it is taking so long

[trinorthlighting]

I just noticed that all the DC's that are showing a change in page rank have both the www and the non www indexed in the directories. Has anyone else seen the issue with their websites?

[h8dk70]

The interesting thing is I got pr for pages that are disallowed by robots.txt and also noindex,nofollow; and lost title/description in serps for half of important pages, although they do show pr in the toolbar. Does it make sense?

[minnapple]

Here is interesting tidbit about pr.

I have an ecommerce client that has operated a site for a several years.

Call this site [ A ].
He opened a new site [ B ] a few months ago that sells a different but similar product line.

The only link to site [ B ] is from site [ A ].

Site [ A ] new pr is 3, Site [ B ] new pr is 5.

Site [ A ] ranks for it's targetted terms, site [ B ] does not.

[followgreg]

That confirms what I saw too, even though it is worst since sites with nice baclinks end up with NO PR ...weird...

Again, if the toolbar PR is not real at all....what the hell is it still doing there unless Google wants to mislead common surfers about the quality of websites, isn't it odd?

Lets continue PR discussion.

I just had my first green bar on the google toolbar for a site of mine!

[lgn1]

im seeing PR updates on 7 of the 18 datacenters now.

still nothing on toolbarqueries.google.com Is this a static datacenter, and does this one always get updated last?

[koen]

I have a toolbar update for 2 of my sites.

edit: although when I check in the datacenters only 9 of them are updated and not toolbarquery.

[internetheaven]

First time I've seen a backlinks update and PR update so close together for a long time.

[Nirvana1]

I just noticed that a website that tracks TBPR updates announced that the official TBPR update was on Feb 18 and to expect to see the next one May 30. Most of the websites I have been following only had internal page pr updates and only on 7 datacenters now. Also, the major pr checker websites have shown no TBPR update yet. So does anyone know what is really going on with the updates?

[colin_h]

Many thanks kartiksh, I'm still not sure what it is though ... probably orthoganol ;-)

What does PR stand for?

Wow, you know I just got my new laptop. Go me! And it comes preinstalled (yeah.) with Google toolbar. I kid you not my website is not even 90 days live and was at a respectable PR0. This morning it had no PR on the toolbar and now all of a sudden it does. Interesting...

[dmje]

Dont know if I can post this URL here or not, but some one was asking about the firefox extension for the live pr

<snip>

If the url does not show, can go to the firefox website and do a seach in extensions for page rank and it will show the url

[dmje]

In looking at the Live PR tool, I noticed that most of my pages made a one or two step upward jump, with the index page going from 4 to 5, but I had one internal page go from 3 to 6 according to the tool.

I have always understood that index page pr is generally 1 step higher than the internal pages, is it a normal occurence, if there is such a thing, for some internal pages to have a higher pr than the index page?

[MLHmptn]

What in the world is LivePR?!

[kartiksh]

What in the world is LivePR?!

i am presuming it as a live PR check tool which displays current and future prediction of PR for particular site from different datacenter. Great tool!

[Dayo_UK]

Yep - using the <rk> tags in the xml output.

[zeus]

if I use livepr I see some page missing PR and a PR7 is no PR4 which can not be, so im sure it is so correct. also when I see my hijacked site it is sometimes a PR7 when I take a look at all DB, but 0PR in the browser tool which it has been for some time.

[zeus]

I also see when I take a look at my hijacked site it is sometimes PR0 , n/a and PR7, also my other site does show n/a and PR4 , that site was or is PR7, so Im not sure if one should believe the results when everything does not show the same PR on the new PR line, because some other sites show the new PR all the way down and it looks like the real PR.
