Pagerank update starting up?

with 10 comments

Looks like Google Pagerank export is starting.

I just checked Livepagerank service for some of my blogs and there’s lots of Google datacenters showing PR0 for those sites that gained quite a few links since January. Some of the abandoned ones dropped from PR4 to PR1

Live PageRAnk Update PR

Now if this theory is correct (lot’s of DCs with PR0 means that your PR will change. If you gained links then it’s going up) I’m in for some good news in April. Looks like John Chow‘s in for good news too :)

    I’m hoping some of my sites get up to PR4. I’ve got one at PR3 that i know is going to end up at PR0. Got to say i love this blog and keep it up. I check it most days!

  • Staska

    Yeah,

    First half of January, April, July and October are fun :)

    And I won’t be so sure about PR0, unless you did something really baaaaaad.

    I have a couple of websites that have almost no backlinks and I haven’t touched them for more then a year. They are still at PR1 or 2.

    ahh well hopefully it wont go to low then it’s been registered since 03 so going by what you said about yours i hope it wont go below pr1.

    The last update was January 25th, 2007. The one before that was September 28th,2006. If you do your math it took 4 months, not three.

    We all call it the “quarterly pagerank update”, that’s why we’re watching closely right now. It’s only been about 9 or 10 weeks since the last one.

    Don’t get me wrong, I’m looking forward to it. I just hate it when people start rumors.

    The folks at Google are tight lipped, and probably laughing at this post as I speak.

    But…I hope you’re right!

    Well, I reported what I saw. That’s why the question mark on the title.

    I see lots of PR fluctuations across the blogs I own (on Live PR service). The ones with lots of new backlinks showing PR0 at many data centers. One abandoned dropped from PR4 to PR1 and PR0 on some DCs also.

    John Chows blog (in the picture), who got tons and tons of links during last months, is showing the same PR0s on LivePR. Looks like update to me.

    Previous PR export was underway on Jan. 10, 2007 already:

    And last year they had an update on Feb.18 and April 04 as well. If my math is right it took less then 2 months between the two :)

    I don’t know how long PR export lasts.It might take some time until everyone is updated , but the way I see it, something is already happening

    Thanks for the stats. My data is based on the finish. There a very good source here: http://www.seocompany.ca/pagerank/page-rank-update-list.html

    Remember, I also remind people how those Google Dance checkers are against Google’s terms of service, and could result in a penalty box.

    We all have our sources as far as gathering information. Some of our theories are true, and some false. This comes from Google itself. If you search “google terms” you will see it a few paragraphs down.

    Anyway, as I said, I hope you are correct about the update happening now. The sooner the better!

    Well, until the PR actually changes in the toolbar, we are all guessing. But that’s what makes it fun :)

    As for Google ToS, there are a lot of grey areas there. E.g. you can argue both ways if Google PR Checking service is

    using any software which sends queries to Google to determine how a website or webpage “ranks” on Google for various queries

    They are using software that “sends queries to Google”, but they may be not “trying to determine how a website “ranks” on Google for various queries”, they are just checking public PR value.

    Or they may have express written permission from Google. Because for now Google engineers are turning a blind eye for many of them. Since I usually find Live PR service via google. (It’s No.1 result for Live PR).

    Nope. But it’s quite an interesting tool and looks like a good alternative to LivePR. Thank’s
