Question: Life after banishment… cleaned up site, submitted reinclusion request, 6 days, site was back in the index… except there’s no backlinks credited, no PR, nothing. WTF? Are we on parole?

MC: Look at your traffic. Backlinks and PR get pushed every 3 months. You might have caught it in a weird part of that cycle.

The figure itself is continuously updated, but the toolbar PR as it's called is a rough 3 month average. In no way is it where you can set your calendar, so I'm struggling to see the importance of this info.

Last PR update was end of April. Expect to see this update in late July early August.

Some parts are always updating, some every three months, sometimes the whole formula for calculating it changes.

Nah I know experienced SEOs like yourself know it, but there's always people new to SEO who ask this question.

And hearing the answer from Matt Cutts provides an extra level of validation, yes?

Yes. Lol, you referred to me as experienced. That's being quoted in a testimonial somewhere in my next resume.

It is well known to us that google backlinks and page rank should be updated every 3 months. I am just curious why every 3 months, not montly.?
