Has anyone noticed PageRank being updated?
Best wishes

If you would like to know my url its the last word in the paragraph above + .net
;)
DJFlite, yep, you're not indexed by Google, with or without a www, but a search of your URL with All The Web shows 5 backlinks, with almost all of them on "links" pages. That might be your problem, (might not too, of course).
Google seems to have down-weighted links pages, ones that have the word in the URL or Title etc. You need new/more backlinks, especially ones from higher ranking PR pages, (and preferably without the word "link/s" in them).
I had a very similar situation with a site of mine, it had been up about 9 or 10 months. No PR, the site was indexed and had about 40 pages in the index. We got a little traffic from google but not much. I finally became conviced that the domain had a penalty. I emailed google about it but not trusting them to actually do anything about it I registered a new domain name. I then changed the robots.txt on the old domain to disallow all spiders and copied the site to the new domain. This was about 10/17/2003. With in a week I was in google with about 100 pages indexed and a few weeks later I was finally showing PR. Now a little over two months later I have PR4 - PR0 depending on the page and over 500 pages in the index. I am pretty much dominating some 2 and 3 word phrases in my industry and actually starting to make a little money. Recently google must have removed the penalty from my old domain though because the index page for it now shows a PR4. In my case I am fairly sure that the issue was an expired domain penalty, I know that it had been registered before but have never been able to find any evidence that anyone actually launched a site under the domain. If I were you I would seriously investigate the possibility of some sort of penalty. Just for clarification I made no changes to the site when I moved it to the new domain and the old site has a PR4 now with less links than it had when it was PR0. Hope this helps you and best of luck.

Ill look into that backlinks issue too.
Much appreciated all
One of my new site gained a PR 5 and 20 backlins gone to 0 backlink again...
Anybody..please confirm?
Yes one of our sites hit PR7 a few days back but back to PR6 with the lower number of backlinks too.
So... given that the -in datacenter is no longer an oddball, plus this, maybe soon we will see a more comprehensive and up to date update.

New backlinks had given me big jumps in PR on index and deeper pages on -gv. They had been fluctuating in and out and I was waiting for them to firm up. But now they have gone completely.
If anybody says have patience I'll end it all. :(
One my most popular pages went from PR5 to PR6 and dropped into oblivion in the SERPS.
As for serps I was watching www3 and it was mirroring www-in but not anymore.
Not updated -ex
-gv offline
Pagerank updated at least on -va and I assume others except -ex.
Don't see any directory changes.
Merry Christmas and lots of pagerank! :)
