Google PR Update: Here We Go Again!

Background Image

Keep in mind there is nothing confirmed, but several people started to notice changes both in PageRank and backlinks count numbers.

One of my sites apparently gained PR as well. DailyBits went from a PR2 to a PR4.

I tried to check on Google’s data centers but most of them are behaving strangely (reporting a PR0 even for established websites). One tool that appears to be working is this one.

No one was expecting such an early PageRank update in 2008. The last one, as you probably can remember, happened late in October and it created a lot of buzz due to a new policy that Google decided to adopt towards websites that were selling text links without the nofollow tag.

Have you noticed any changes?

  1. I’m still a zero on an established site but am heavily indexed. When I update, it gets in there in 20 minutes. It’s weird.

  2. One 3 month old site went from PR 0 to 3.
    One blog 2 years old went from PR 5 to 3.
    The rest remained the same.

  9. No change (PR 3) in the Google toolbar, but the data centers tool showed PR 0 for three IPs before it timed out. Strange days…

  10. JoeTech.com had somehow gone from PR5 to PR0 in the October update. This time around, I’m back to PR3, which is better than nothing, I suppose. LinkBaitMe.com jumped from PR2 to PR3.

  11. One of my sites that was a PR0 due to the paid links kickback has gone back up to a PR3. It was once a PR5, but still nice to know my email to Google was recognised. One of the sites that I haven’t contacted Google about has stayed at PR0.

    Don’t care about PR anymore, but still nice to know that I’m not on Google’s naughty list.

  12. Yeah!
    My site moved from PR 3 to PR 4 🙂

  13. You are so lucky – most people I’ve spoken to so far have seen their PR drop. My PR on my blog went from a 3 to a 2.

  16. I noticed changes in my backlinks count as reported by Google’s Webmaster Tools. They seemed to be decreasing. As of today I cannot access the tools, nor the AdSense account. They are facing technical difficulties.

    I’m looking forward to access my account again and see and see what has changed.

  22. Looks like there was a small bump on Quebec Wines but no change on Find Mapping.

    Not clear whether the change has anything to do with Google though.

  23. Yes, it’s definitely happening. My blog is just 2 months old and today it’s showing a PR of 1. So I am #1 now! LOL

    Reply
  24. Cool. I went from a 1 to a 4 on Succes For Your Blog

    Reply
  25. I noticed an increase in PageRank on Thursday evening for some of my internal pages and made a post about it.

    Overall, there were just a few changes for me but I did have a new blog go from 0 to 3 which was quite surprising.

  29. Got yr link through 45n5. Yeap, Google gave me a fright last night because my PR4/10 got unranked. And the green juice returned when I woke up. A few of my new blogs gained PR 1 and PR 2 as well.

    Reply
  30. I used digpagerank.com but it seems there hasn’t any changes with my blogs PR. The PR 2 still got the same number, and the PR 0 hasn’t crack the egg yet. 🙁

    I tried to switch to your livepr.ezr.com, but the server seemed respond quite long

  31. i have lots of changes in PR on almost all sites (some down, some up) but no changes in the SERPs … yet…

    Reply
  32. one site PR3 to PR4

    new site 0 to 3

    many stayed same

    one went down from PR2 to PR1

    What does PR mean again? 🙂

    Reply
  33. I was shocked today when I saw that one of my blogs was dropped from a PR 3 down to two. I thought we’d at least get a few months break before this all started again.

    The site with the change is around four months old, I guess we’ll have to wait and see what they’re doing this time around.

  34. The PR for my blog front page stayed at 5, but my site homepage went from 4 to 2. No idea why.

    Reply
  35. Hi hope it will come soon,but now no change

    Reply
  36. I got from PR3 to 4 and several of my pages also got PR4. I guess it’s starting.

    Reply
  37. PR was updated this morning
    * 2 of my sites went from PR0 to PR3
    * 2 from PR0 to PR2
    * 1 stayed the same PR4

    So my conclusion is that it affected mainly new sites

    Reply
  38. PR5 to PR4. Oh well, no big deal.

  39. I got PR 3 from PR 0. Nice. 🙂

  47. Hi,

    I tried the tool you have provided but my new site less than a month, unable to see changes now.

    Reply
  48. It appears that most sites will just retain the same PR though. That is the trend I am seeing.
