When Can We Expect To See A PR Update?

Anyone have a guess?

Does anyone have a guess as to when we can expect a new PR update? I've been running a little numbers experiment correlating PR to my earnings/traffic ... need more data, though

[Zygoot]

A PR + backlinks update will happen within a few days.

But I don't believe earnings are related to PR.

[jretzer]

I've heard that. And in fact, my anecdotal evidence tells me the same thing. On my two best sites in the last update, PR fell from 6 to 5, but my traffic and income contine to grow.

But like I said, its a numbers experiment.

You know you have moved to the next lvl in SEO when you PR is nothing more than an amusing thing to you. I don't have anything that tells me PR any more.

Yeah, seems pr is good for getting new pages indexed and revisited, and for a little edge in the serps. Not so crucial as it once was, though.

What's PR?

;-)

Here's a little story about PR. My buddy and I - both registered virgin domains years back.

He put up a few pages - forgot about the site. His site was a PR4 immediately, and has been for I don't know how long. He has ONE IBL (from my pr3 site on a pr1 page)

I continued to build the site I registered the same day as him, and it now ranks inside of 100,000 in Alexa - has thousands of inbound links, and a PR of 3.

Page Rank means absolutely positively nothing to me. I rank fine with crappy PR.

I personally think PR.... should die. It's outdated, and a VERY poor representation of the overall quality of the site.

I guess I'm not up to "advanced" yet. :)

A followup question: What clues are there that an update is in the offing.

Clue? Normally a 20 page posting on Webmaster World:)

What clues are there that an update is in the offing.

From Matt Cutt's blog today:

"Just to give you a heads-up, I think a new set of backlinks (and possibly PageRank) will probably be visible relatively soon; I’m guessing within the next few days. I still expect some flux after that though, just to let you know."

Cheers, MJ

Biggest clue you can get - GoogleGuy saying it's going to happen.

What's going on? Are users of this forum boycotting the Google Search News forum? :-)

[blue_eagle]

Thats what i thought EFV :)

Also I guess PR still means something for some ppl who are not aware of WW
