05 Apr 2003: I upload 20 updated pages including an updated index.htm page
11 Apr 2003: I am very happy that Google already spidered all the updated pages and is showing them in the search results.
Even more happy as the PR of my index-page has gone from PR-3 to PR-4.
22 Apr 2003: All the updated pages have disapeared out of the search-results and the old-pages from before 05 Apr 2003 are showing up again, but the PR stays at PR-4.
All together I have about 500 pages of which about 350 are listed with Google.
No Bot of Google has come to my site since 08 Apr 2003.

Sounds like freshbot, (lots of info via the site search).
Don't know about the PR change but it's still normal google behaviour. The Googlebots aren't as lively as they once were for my site either. This might change.
Please enjoy lazerzubb's Google Update FAQ [webmasterworld.com] and Marcia's Everflux FAQ [webmasterworld.com]. They provide good focused informations about this.
With everything that is going on, and the old descriptions I see from my site, I would even start to think that Google lost a database or the database of April have been corrupted and they are using the database from February-March.
Of course this can not be, as the people at Google surely have hundreds of Back-ups.
I am not worried, but this is the first time that other search engines such as Altavista, Teoma, Lycos and Ask Jeeves have already my updated pages more than 1-month and Google is hiking behind.
Before Google was always first to show the updated pages.

This is my conclusion too, as I seem to gack the good positions I had for an old site and the positions of the new site seem to be like they were a few months ago.
Anyway, this update is terrible...
No No, I dont talk about position or PR, I simply talk about the description that comes up in the search results:
I mean: before my page sold APPLES. . .so the page and the description in search results was about APPLES.
My pages were changed because I now sold ORANGES. . and after Google re-spidered my pages, for some time (12 days) the description came up in the search results as a page about ORANGES.
Then suddenly the older pages about APPLES showed back up in Google, even these pages have been deleted 1 1/2 months ago.
With the other, above mentioned search engines, I am selling ORANGES since quite some time, but for Google I am still selling APPLES.
OOoooops, what a fruit-cocktail.
