Me too tired of all this PR stuffs..
Will this update happen or not ?
I guess the big G is taking longer time in updating PR this time.

Back in 2005 it took 122 days for Google to update PR.

Thanks for the link. The content is informative.

Maybe what google needs is some competition on the pagerank issue. I thought that yahoo was coming out with something similar to pagerank. What happened to that?

[thegamerslink]

If one submits to countless web link directories, both paid and free, shouldn't some of them show up as backlinks? How long does it usually take for them to show up as backlinks?

[thegamerslink]

Google has announced they are looking poorly on buying links, does this mean that buying featured links and the like in directories, or buying regular links in directories will hurt your google pr and position now rather than help it?

Google updates their link: command infrequently and doesn't show most of the links. Use Yahoo SiteExplorer and it should give you a better idea of what links you actually have.

PR update is still going and you worry about the next PR update

how are you checking your backlinks? if you sign up with Google's webmaster tools they'll show you a far different (and much more expansive) report on the backlinks to your site. they usually only show a smattering of the actual links when you check using the "usual" ways. I guess this is to throw off webmasters from being able to tell too much about other sites? maybe to keep people getting about the algo?

But whatever, the webmaster tools is very interesting. They give you some great info on where your site is showing up for searches as well.

got a PR Prediction on both my websites pc-factor and thegamerslink from iwebtools...I have been trying forever with no information ever available untill today. pc-factor is predicted pr 4 (3.5) with 81.3% accuracy and thegamerslink pr 3 with 87.9% accuracy, now, how dependable is that really and is it in time to hit the update that is going on now?
