2006/9/29 Google PR Update

[Eavesy]

Previously use iwebtool.com prediction tool and getting 4-5 PR, but after PR update, i only get 3

This tool got my hopes up as well, it has been telling me that I am getting a PageRank of 5/10, when the update came yesterday I only got a 2/10.

How do I know if google cached my site already?

can you try this easy way:

http://google.com/search?q=cache:google.com

cache will redirect your query to an IP-google

then you shall know if google cached the site already

Thanks for the explanation but I still don't get it!

@LinkEzer

Since weeks your tool is predicting a Page Rank 4 for my site (currently PR 1) and now it suddenly changed it's mind yesterday and keeps predicting a PR 1... Can you explain this? I did not change anything lately.

What about your page ranks? Did they change dramatically for anyone who has had their PR change?
I haven't seen any of my pages PR change, but the rankings all dropped dramatically. Typically that's a sign that Google is changing something. Now that I've read this thread, some of you already are seeing those changes. I was just curious if your page ranks also improved or declined significantly as a results of the PR change.

Hi,

yeah, my rankings also dropped...and I have barely traffic anymore. Here you can see that most traffic really comes from google...at least in my case...the rest is not noticeable. But hey, can't be that there are only losers on this update...maybe it takes a while till google is done with everything...just stay positive

I just checked all my pages. My backlinks have updated, of which I have improvements. But, my PR hasn't changed at all. I hope I'm in the queue.
However, my ratings mostly have declined significantly. Traffic has decreased considerably. I wish Google would hurry up!

I haven't seen a change in my Backlinks or PR...did Google just skip right over me? Its kind of disappointing to see no changes anywhere...

[bigmallrat]

Today, Google dropped all my backlinks, so who knows. I did have one page that is now ranking number 3 (when it was 24+ for the last year). I hope it's a sign of things to come. Some of my pages are optimized for keywords that are NOT competitive and should be a breeze to get top rankings. I've struggled to understand a dozen pages that are ranked higher, yet they don't contain the keywords! Maybe this update will help.

I like this forum very very much.

I think submitexpress.com/bbs is a very nice forum site.

PR 6 - 7 shall be back soon if the forum do not site down so often....
however, recently is better.

Another suggestion to the forum:
Since the signature is function well for allowing to add a link.
Maybe more links allow at signature can attract more users for a better marketing and fraffic.
