The New Pagerank Update has started! - 29 June 2006

June 30, 2006 at 8:08 am · Filed under Google

The most exciting event in the webmaster world, that happens every 3-4 months has
just begun!

The proof is here it’s showing a pr5. pr5

See other threads about the update on Digital Point, SEOchat

Most webmasters report about lower pageranks and loss of pr in this update which might be because of mistakes done in a previous update, when getting a high pr was too easy.

I’ve lost two of my pr6 sites, they’re now pr3 and pr5, also lots of other sites were lowered in pagerank. It looks like google is trying to devalue pagerank.

And as usually there’re lots of people who are happy to get their first pagerank ever - so congrats to all the pr newbies :)

Here’re some tools where you can check the pr:

Update: What’s going on? I checked all my sites again and the 9 datacenters that were showing new pr are now back to the previous one before the update :confused:

Did google cancel the update, or was it a temporary glitch? Well, we’ll have to wait another day or two and see..

Update2: As Mike Dammann commented there’re still some fluctuations that can be seen here, so the update is slowly processing and we’ll have to wait some more time to see the final results… :D

Update 3, finally!: The long anticipated update happened on July, 13. www.findinforums.com received a pr5, so everyone who took that guess won! I’ll anounce a list of winners later.

Also it looks that most of pr had dropped, Nearly all my sites have either dropped in pr or stayed the way they were… But then again, who cares? :P

    I went to the seochat link for your address and all the data centers show PR0. I’ve checked many other URLs. I don’t find any fluctuation.

    Yeah, it’s weird, there’re some fluctuations. Few hours ago I was able to see changes on most of my sites, now it’s all back to normal.

    May be google saw that we’ve noticed the update and decided to cancel it ;)

    We’ll just have to wait a couple days and it should be over by then..

    I have been having a hard task creating pr for my site, I am trying to get some user reviews, but without the traffic its an uphill task.
